Baby Shower Favors-Monogrammed Cards

Question?

Have you ever been to a shower (wedding or baby) and gotten a favor that is completely useless?? I know I have.

While the intention was nice and the cost was substantial, the practicality of the item or items was somewhat lost in translation.

INTRODUCING-Monogrammed stationery for all of your shower guests. I had a lady order monogrammed cards from me for each one of her baby shower guests back in December. Each guest received 5 personalized cards with their initial on them. What a thoughtful and unique gift. What guest wouldn't be able to use these? The uses are endless. Drop a quick note, thank you, bday, thinking of you, etc. Every guest was genuinely touched by the gesture.

Well, at the time "blogging" was still new to me and unfortunatly I didn't take any pics of the cards. So, this time when I was approached by another lady to do the same thing I was sure to not pass this picture opportunity up again. What do you think? Would you like to be the recipient of these monogrammed cards? I know I would. These cards are so easy and fun to make. The saying on the tag was thought of by the hostess. It just kind of says it all. I will be delivering these favors later this week. I hope she is as pleased as I am with the result. The paper, scallop circle punch, and circle punches are all SU! and the stamps are by PTI. Hope you have a great day!

Supper Club-St Anthony Preschool

I thought I'd share some pics of our "fancy" dinner that we have the other night at our home. My husband and I hosted our Supper Club the other night. It's a group of 7 couples from our son's preschool. We are the 6th couple to host the dinner and we wanted to make it a little extra special. I used this die cut of the dress and tuxedo for placecards. From the first time I have seen these die cuts from AccuCut I have fallen in love w/ them. I used my Cricut for the name tag. Aren't they just adorable. I chose Navy Blue and Light Blue because I figured that would best match our china. The night was a complete success.

Baby Girl Card

Holy card day! Today has been pretty productive around here. You may never see three posts in one day from me for a long time to come. But I am going to be pretty busy next week so I figured I'd hurry up and upload a few cards.

Is this card sweet or what? I just love making baby cards. I got to use my new rhinestones because the baby is a girl--can you tell! The new printed paper from SU! is wonderful. The stamps are from PaperTrey Ink. I can't wait to give it to my girlfriend.

Club Card Swap-July 09'

Here is my card swap for a card swap club that I belong to. I love the bottom of this card that I copied from Debbie Olson (Thinking Inking) the die cut is from SU!. The primary shapes are nestabilities and the stamps are all from PaperTrey Ink. The cardstock and printed paper are from SU!. I found these rhinestones a while back and love them! They came in several different colors and finish off the card perfectly.

July 09'-Swap

Here is another monthly card swap. This is the monthly swap that I pass out to my past hostesses. It's just a small way of saying thank you. I used the new stamp set from SU! Circle Circus. I love this new stamp set. It seems to be quite versatile. The colors are Perfect Plum and Old Olive. I used the baby wipe technique for the large flower circle. The verse stamp is from the Define your Life stamp set. I hope you have a great weekend, enjoy!
