This card features the 111598 Bella Toile background stamp, which is punched out with the 119848 Butterfly XL Punch and the 117166 Newsprint Designer Series Paper.

This card features the 117167 Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper, 118750 Friends Never Fade Stamp Set, the Flower Layers Die (retired) and the 117335 Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  I love the bright colors!

This card features the Level 1 Hostess stamp set Because I Care and the 119851 Curly Label Punch.  Such a serene card!

This is so pretty in person. It features the 115967 Bitty Box & Envelope die, the 114507 Beautiful Butterflies die, stamped with 118611 Elements of Style stamp set.  My two oldest grandgirls sure enjoyed the chocolate candy that was inside!

Simply stunning in person.  Thanks so much Cyndi!!!!

We made this lined envelope with two matching cards using the 118611 Elements of Style stamp set.

Then we made this hair pretty using the Big Shot 118871 Island Floral Bigz die out of polar fleece.

We made this fabulous album out of the 118766 Briefcase On Board Books, envelopes and 117173 Island Oasis Designer Series Paper.

The last project was made with the 118766 Briefcase On Board Books and 111546 Simple Birthday Thanks stamp.

(The black dots are from my camera.)

Note:  We scored vellum cardstock and attached with a gluestick to give the frosty look.

Thank you Terri for the wonderful projects!

Look what's hanging on the wall in my downline, Denise W's house?  119409 (small, in black) "Do Good, Be Kind" decor elements for $6.95.  Denise put it in a black frame, but didn't put a backing on it.  It is very striking to see in person.

Here is the mini scrapbook that the students at my Big Kids, Little Kids Mother's Day class made.  They used the Tea Party Designer Series Paper and Whisper White cardstock for this project.

The base of the scrapbook is using 114519 Bag w/Scallops Sizzix die cut.

Fold it in half and then fold in half again.

This is the inside of the scrapbook with places for three photo's.

This is the outside of the scrapbok with one place for a photo.  Where it says "i love you" is where the child writes their name and the year the scrapbook was made.

Here is the top of the wood block that the students at my Big Kids, Little Kids Father's Day class made.  They used the Nouveau Chic Designer Series Paper to cover the wood block.

The bottom of the block is where the child can print their name and the year they made the gift.

Sorry, but I didn’t get a formal invitation because my daughter ran short.  But the invitation was in the shape of a baby’s onsie–very cute.

The Sizzix Big Shot Flower Folds die cut got used for a lot of the decorations.  This was the sign on the front door.

This is the diaper cake.  You roll the diapers and secure with a rubber band.  The wide ribbon hides the rubber bands.  After the shower, the diaper cake can be taken apart and the diapers can be used.

I’ll be honest here.  This diaper baby freaked me out!  You roll diapers for the head, arms and legs.  Stuff the clothes with towels or blankets.  Add a hat, mittens and booties to cover the diapers.  A nuk in the mouth and we placed it in a doll carrier.  So many people attending the shower thought this was a real baby when they glanced at it.  It was only when they got close that we’d hear a gasp!

For the three table decorations, I used my wire card tree to feature two-sided baby pictures of my son and daughter-in-law.  I used the Sizzix Big Shot Scallop Square and Scallop Circle die cuts.  I stamped baby words and punched them out with the Modern Label punch.  Tied some ribbon at the base and it was done.  I love how these personalized the shower, gave people something to talk about and helped people visualize what the new baby may look like.

I made a 5"x5" baby card using the nursery colors.  This was easy using the Sizzix Big Shot Scallop Circle die cut, Swirly Sizzlits decorative strip die, Sizzix Texturz Plates Backgrounds I, Eyelet Border Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, 1" Circle Punch and 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 5/16" chocolate chip jumbo brads and 1/4" Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon.

These sugar cookies are so darn cute!  My daughter found the cookie cutter on Ebay.  She made the cookies from scratch and then made the homemade frosting.  It didn’t take her very long to decorate them.  Me?  I would never have attempted this complicated project.  Many people at the shower thought she bought these!  Now, that’s a compliment!

What do you do with your retired Stampin’ Up! ribbon?  My daughter decided to make a taggie blanket.  It was fun to see all the different colors, sizes and textures of the ribbon.  I know the new baby will love playing with this.

These are just a few of the personalized decorations at the baby shower!  Over 22 adults attended and 5 children.  It was a fun shower! 

Now this IS a fancy present!  I used the Big Shot Flower Folds die cut, Pink Passion and Pixie Pink cardstock.  The pop-up glue dots did their magic in keeping everything inside the box!

Here we are with both grandgirls!

I like the challenge of turning a plain white handled bag and white tissue paper into colorful matching items.

Of course, the card has to match the bag and tissue paper.

I had a few pieces from a retired baby girl Simply Scrappin’ Kit that I used on some of these scrapbook pages.  I used the Fun & Fast Notes stamp set to make these projects.

Alot of people in direct sales like to have treat bags for their downline at their Conventions.  I made these for someone who used to belong to my networking group.  I made some treat bags for her last year and she needed more for this year. 

I used the large gusset cellophane bags so she can fill these with candy and gum.  If she doesn’t want to fill this to the brim, she can easily fold down the cellophane bag to the size she wants.  She just has to put two staples in the Apricot Appeal cardstock topper and cellophane bag.  I put four dimensionals on the back of the Basic Gray cardstock, so she can adhere it to the Apricot Appeal cardstock when the cellophane bag is full.

I used the Sizzix Star die cut for the large star and the star punches for the vellum and Basic Gray stars.  I adhered them with a silver brad.  The words were done on the computer and punched out with the 1 3/4" circle punch.  The Basic Gray cardstock was texturized with the Sizzix Backgrounds I texturz plates.
