Rubber ducky, you're the one...

I am finally back with some new stuff. Life has been super crazy as always with my daughter starting preschool, family stuff, and working on new orders. This has not left much computer time. So for the next 2 weeks I should have posts fairly regularly to make up for being gone so long. Lots of new cards, banners, and more. The thing I am most excited about is a baby shower I am throwing mid October. You will have to come back to see all the fun details. The mommy to be will be surprised by the theme. Should be fun.

Here is my first new card.

I had an extra rubber ducky die cut from some baby shower centerpieces I did so I thought it would be cute on a card. Little did I know I had the perfect bubbly paper to go along with it. This card makes me want to go give my kids a bubble bath.

 

I love the adorable buttons and the pop of color and shimmer they add to this card. 

This card would be perfect for the arrival of any new baby or as a baby shower invite.

And on that note I would like to introduce you to my first niece. She was born last night around 8:00pm. I am already in love with being an auntie and cannot wait to go see her again tonight. Meet Miss Emma Kate.

And the winner is....

Sorry for the delay in picking a winner. My computer has been down and I ended up gone all day helping finish details for a friends wedding I am in this weekend.

And so the winner is.....

Number 14 per random.org

Jonathan and Ashlee
Ashlee says: I love the mother to be cards...they are so great for first time mommies! I just gave one to a friend today as a matter of fact :)

This is quite a fitting win. Ashlee is one of my most frequent customers. She orders cards in stacks on a regular basis!
Thank you to everyone who entered. I hope to do another give away soon.

Sock Monkey Birthday Set

I had the pleasure of creating a Sock Monkey Birthday Party set for some friends twins who are turning 2. Their mom gave me complete creative license with a picture of the tableware for inspiration. This is the set she chose.

I designed a Sock Monkey Happy Birthday banner with 2 monkeys for 2 cute little boys. 

A set of Sock Monkey and #2 cupcake toppers.

A set of 4 Sock Monkey centerpiece circles.

And a Sock Monkey Happy Birthday Sign for the front door or in the party room. 

And here it is in the party room.

Happy Birthday Kaden & Nolan. Hope you day was filled with lots of fun. I had a last making this set for you.
