Alli's baby shower



I'm home, I'm home!!! It is so nice to go on vacation and then even nicer to get back home to my sweet family!! I had such a great time in Seattle! I wish I could've bottled the cool weather and brought it back with me!! :) One of the things I did while I was there was throw a surprise baby shower for my sister Alli, along with my sisters and my mom. Also 2 of my mom's good friends helped us pull it off too!! Thanks Lori and Vicki!!! I made the shower invites a few weeks ago and got them in the mail before I left. Alli was surprised...we pulled it off and we had such a good time! I made a diaper cake too but can you believe I forgot to take my camera and get a picture so I am waiting for one...as soon as I get one I will post pictures (cuz it turned out super cute!!) I found this cute paper at Archivers and then went with that as my inspiration to create the card. I used my little circle stamp from Little Pieces for the body. I used my 1/2 inch circle punch to punch out coordinating papers. The buttons were from Archivers too. I used floral wire to make the antennas. It was a little time consuming but I just planted myself in front of the t.v. watching the Olympics and it made it easy!!
