A Safari "It's a GIRL" Baby Shower and Diaper Cake

 
 
I realized its almost a year since Skylar was born...come Dec. 13, 2012.....well I never did post the baby shower...oh my goodness a ton more to share....all the creativity I need to share and it seems I am always behind in it.....well that's the life of a mom with nine kids and two grand daughters. This diaper cake was my first and I greatly enjoyed making it... I used a whole box of the 100 + diaper box of size 1. The giraffe and elephant were cut on the Silhouette Cameo I used Bazzill papers which I always use for all my cardstock needs I think its the BEST! The flowers are Petaloo . The shoes and baby monkey I bought at Target. The ribbon was actually some I had from the 80's I took the Crafter's Workshop Zebra stencil and black paint and daubed on the zebra prints to the ribbon. This took the wide vintage ribbon that hadn't been used in a long time and repurposed it ! Bam! The white ribbon is simply satin ribbon from Wal-Mart. Crystal loved it!
 
The baby shower printables I purchased from Tania on Etsy
 
The banner I printed and used Bazzill Paper using the 1/2 inch circle punch ran silk pink ribbon thru the banner to hang. The ribbon I bought from Wal-Mart.
The paper lanterns came from Hobby Lobby.
 
The napkins came from Hobby Lobby too.
 
This was the whole set up.....the balloons also came from Hobby Lobby.
We have a real helium tank from when we did a lot more parties in the past...that was when helium was much cheaper....now it very expensive. We even have the balloon filler part too, you can go to welding supply stores and get the tank and the balloon filler piece to use for your parties. We bought ours in the early 90's so IDK what they cost now....but I did find it on Amazon and the part to fill the balloons with HERE....so you can find it at those links.
The plastic ware came from Party City  
We wrapped them with the printables from Tania
the adorable cake plate and cloche came from Hobby Lobby
 
I got the adorable little plastic bottles from Michael's that I stuffed full with M&M's from MY M&M's.com go HERE you can pick your colors, the saying and DOB of the baby, etc...even put pictures on them....how AMAZING is that! Crystal really liked them. The printable on the bottle is from Tania
 
The candy bars are Hershey Bars which are Dusty's favorite the printable again are from Tania
These are great for added gifts or take home gifts.
 
This sweet little wire cloche came from Hobby Lobby I put a doily on the bottom plate and sat the cookies on it.
 
These are the cupcakes I made for the shower, I bought the cupcake papers from HSN I used buttercream frosting for the cupcakes sprinkled with cake sparkles from Wilton
 

The sugar molded rattler came from Wine and Cake Hobbies
 
The mints came from Party City
 
Little game gifts all came from Party City

The center piece came from Party City

Adding the rock candy sticks added color and style they came from Party City also
 
To make things easy on the cooking part too we ordered from Chick-fil-a which was a huge hit

The plates were very nice and I found these at Party City

We played guess the gifts, word search, and a few games that I found at Party City

An ATC Sunday!!!! Share your ATC Art too!

Here is an ATC card I made a few weeks back for a lady in Norway I traded as a partner on Swap-Bot 
I used a bunch of different collage pieces, some rhinestones from Prima, of course some buttons, and some Copic pens.
 
This ATC card is one using the Pan Pastels and Crafter's Worskshop Stencils. Which I buy mostly at Scrapbook.com and Donna Downey which BTW has a new book out!!  Signature Series By Donna Downey!!! WTG Donna!!! That's awesome and YES I have ordered my signed copy. This also was a trade on Swap-Bot.

 Yes you guessed it! All about cupcakes ATC, here this one went to Sweden. It was also a trade on Swap-Bot. I have had a great time on Swap-Bot trading. This swap you had to make a cupcake with a butterfly for the theme. I used Copic pens, Prima pearls, Melissa Francess pearls. I love how it turned out. On the vintage papers for a background. The square 1x1 pieces are inchies that I added.
 This ATC I actually already put up on the blog, but wanted to reshare in this weeks ATC Sunday. I made this one for my first ATC in a really really long time...like over two years or more since I made any ATC. I used a mixed media background on Strathmore papers, used the ATC cut-out punch from Sizzix. A few stencils, stamps, rub-ons, etc. Hand sewed the pearls on and beads. Used Copics too.
This ATC card is a STEAMPUNK themed. This one also was a Swap-Bot trade. I used the Graphic 45 papers of the Steampunk Debutante Collection I cut the octopus out of the Silhouette Cameo. Also the seaweed I cut from Silhouette Cameo. I named it Jules Debutante. The gears I bought from 
Michael's in the jewelry section.



Now it's your turn you will have a until next Saturday morning my time to add any of your ATC art to share. All you have to do is link it up. Share your post of the ATC card you would like to share, it can be older as long as it is an ATC. Thanks.
