A baby shower for Kristin |
I have been planning a baby shower for my daughter-in-law, Kristin. She is having her second baby and our second granddaughter in August. I have been working on the decorations and the menu for weeks. It has been loads of fun.
I made these sweet favor boxes from a tutorial that was so easy to follow.

More decorations.... |
Caroline does a great job with her directions.
I used a die that makes these awesome bows. I
believe they are from Spellbinders.
I put Hershey kisses in them and a lip balm or eye make up. I love how cute they are in pink.
I also made a sweet banner that says," Baby Isabelle" for the fireplace. I used a die that makes different sized cut outs. It is from Spellbinders, also. I mounted the pieces on pink designer papers. I think I will keep it and hang it in the playroom. I will make one for Evy ,too. I can't find the one I made for her shower. I think the little pink clothespins are awesome.

To die for...... |
I think Evy liked the menu. I made marshmallow ballerinas that I found on Pinterest. I am not a marshmallow lover, but you put a little frosting on them and roll them in pink sugar and I am all over it....
You have to try them. I thought they were wicked cute and the kids loved them....
I did finish a Saucy folder that Country Craft Creations put out. I really love how it turned out. The directions are not too difficult to do with a video tutorial that Tammy Merrill does. Here is the link for you, if you want to try this one.

The cover has pockets, too. |

Open up again and it has on the right the waterfall section and on the left you see clear photo pockets. |

Open up and it reveals two more areas for photos. |

Pockets and pages for more photos on the left side. |
It has so many ways to put pictures in the different pockets or folders. The waterfall section came out the best I have ever done one.
I really like how magnets keep the two parts together. Then you open up again and it reveals the inside folders and pockets.
I used Graphic 45 French Country collection which I absolutely love. Everything coordinates so well together. You can not make a mistake. It is all in what you like to see.
I still have some more cards to make and I am starting a
new album that Butterbee Scraps has in a video tutorial and a cheat sheet. That is what she calls it. I am waiting for the clasp to come so I can continue the assembling of the pages. I will show that album next time.
Summer is going fast. Here is a picture of

Sara Evans in concert

Sara Evans at the L.L. Bean free concert
last weekend. It poured but she was so good
that we just sat in the rain and it passed. I was
soaking wet, but her music is worth it.
Keep dry... happy summer times.
