My sis shower was a blast! All the stress paid off. I’ve realized something about myself, my sis…and let’s just throw my mom in too! We not only stress out (by ourselves) but stress each other out!!! Leading up to the shower, the pressure was on and stress was a bit high in our family. My husband says that it’s b/c we are made out of the same mold and we just egg each other on. Could be true.
Nevertheless, it was alot of fun and my sis got tons of cute gifts! So let’s get to the pictures…and b/c I don’t want to bore you and mainly, I do not have the time to sit on the computer for as long as I’d like
I’ll spread it out during the week. Hmm…where should I start? Let’s start with all the cute and fun decorations!
I knew I wanted to incorporate this. And b/c I LOVE and TREASURE scrapbooks and I knew I was going to do the typical “words of advice” book, check out the itty bitty clothesline!
Across the three windows, I pinned up paper onesies and dresses, each one very different from the other. The girls were asked to write a lil something for my sis.
And they were all going in here. I left one page empty so that the onesie/dress could be included and scrapbooked the other side with matching colors/designs.
Here’s another clothesline but with a different feel. My sis and I have always loved banners. We even considered making some out of felt and including them in our shop. But you know how that goes…
I was originally going to do triangles but came across a flower cut-out while searching for papers and decided that I could do this on my own and not spend the extra money buying the cut out. It was super easy and I was able to incorporate the color scheme!
And of course, I had to add the typical clothesline…
More to come tomorrow…
big sis

hey jane
are you referring to the “oh baby” banner? if so, i “eyeballed” the flower and cut out the inner circle with a circle cutter (from Creative Memories but if you don’t have scrapbooking supplies, try a plate). for the letters, i printed them out from MS Word, traced them on to paper, and cut them out. hope that helps. check out my sis “emily” banner. http://lilsprinkles.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/hannas-baby-shower/. think hers is easier if you don’t want to spend too much time on it.

Hi,
I love all the details! Can I ask what font you used for the banner? I can’t seem to find it?? Also, where did you find the tiny little pins used for the paper onesies/dresses? You and your sis are craft geniuses!

Thanks, Lauren!
As for the font…my husband just reconfigured our computer so I lost all my fonts I had downloaded. I searched for something comparable that most Word programs have, and I’d say use Comic Sans. I “bolded” the letters and “outlined” them using the options under FONT and then blew the up!
The lil clothespins…I purchased at Alin Party Supply. I’m certain most party supply places or craft stores should have them if they have a baby decoration aisle.
Hope that helps! Thanks for stopping by!
