Hello Dear Readers! Sorry I've been so MIA lately -- I've been busy preparing for little Baby Sgro's arrival. That includes designing decor for Baby's room (more on that in a later post)
and my Baby Shower!
Special thanks to Sue & Julie for a Great Event!

Speaking of
Baby Showers... here is the invitation that my sister Suzanne and my best friend Julie created for the special occasion. They went with a Jungle Theme.
Isn't it too cute?! And on the inside, there's an extra special three-dimensional surprise! Those blocks "pop up" from the card! I believe they use
Lasting Impressions for Paper Embossing Templates on the animals.

And speaking of
Invitations... I just found out that TWO of my projects are going to be published in
Scrapbook Trends magazine's Invitation Idea Book! Woo hoo! One my loyal readers will recognize... it's the
50th Anniversary card I designed for those two great couples. And the other is a cute
Cookie Exchange Invite I created using a surprise element. Shhh... it's a secret for now...

Edited to Add...I also wanted to share with you a picture of the "Jungle Cake" that Julie and Sue created for my shower. Those are chocolate covered Oreos (YUM!) and pretzels (YUM x2!) with little plastic jungle creatures nestled among 'em. How creative and colorful!
