Garden Party Baby Shower

For the baby showers that I throw I try to make decorations for the shower that could be moved straight to the nursery.  Here are a few pictures of the last shower that I threw, I even borrowed pictures from the mommy to be of her nursery with the baby shower elements incorporated into its decor.

Butterfly mobile made with fabric ruffle, embroidery hoops, fishing line and punched paper butterflies. 

The baby's initials are on the hedgehog water bottle labels

Deviled eggs, just a few dyed pink, for a fun girly touch

Fruit tray arranged to feel flower like, fruit dip tinted yellow to feel like the center of a flower.

Potato bites

Open face cucumber sandwiches

Vase and candle holder used as a cupcake stand

Paper butterflies fluttering around the personalized water bottles.

book mark party favors

Enrty hall ceiling was covered in balloons

hanging butterfly mobile reused

topiary and birdies used again

I forgot to take a picture of the banner at the shower, but here it is reused in the nursery.

A pirate's life for me

Welcome! To Connor's first birthday party! 

We kept it fairly simple, but I was really happy with what we came up with...

hair pretty from a present bow

Received this present bow on a gift for my daughter, and reused it once on another gift for her, then I made it into a hair clip that we cliped onto a present for another little girl.  And the bow lives on.

Glue felt circle to bow, then hot glue the clip to the felt circle

fun applique projects...

I had made an owl silloutte too, however, I forgot to take a picture...

Vintage light bulbs, hidden potential or better left alone?

Owl Baby Shower

party favors

Wish I had taken more close up pictures... Especially of the banner, all of the letters were held on by magnets, so that the name of the baby can be added when it is announced. Paper lanterns were white originally, painted with two coats of acrylic paint, then felt was hot glued on.  Paper and die cutters, and stamps for the party favors and banner are stampin' up! products.  They can be ordered from http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/sarahowens/ my friends personal website.  Check out her clearance rack!
