A baby shower invite using MDS

My Digital Studio (MDS) is one of the most amazing inventions when it comes to creating papercrafts!!!

I know I don't talk about MDS much, but seriously, you MUST try it. Although I don't create alot of digital papercrafts, there are times when digital is the way to go when you have a TON of invites to send out!

Take for example, the baby shower invitation that I have put together for my friend. 

This invitation was pretty much made for me once I downloaded it. All I did was change some colors with the HANDY stamp coloring tool,add some text, and change the project size to be postcard type. VOILA!!! Pure cuteness done in 10 minutes. I love,love, love the pops of color on the chalkboard design!!!


I downloaded this kit (and you can too) from HERE and it has everything you need for baby shower decorations! The kit is called Hello World.

Thanks for joining me! Until next time....

Baby Shower thank you's...Stampin' UP style

3 weeks ago we got to meet the cutest little baby boy in the planet! I'm biased because this is our baby boy! We have been getting to know him and I'm sure he's getting to know us as well. It's been so surreal and my husband and I are still trying to take in the fact that we are mommy and daddy.

We adopted baby Nathan from a beautiful young couple that has been nothing but a joy in our lives. We are deeply and most sincerely grateful for the gift they have given us. A gift that is priceless and everlasting!

With such a short notice about getting matched with a birth-mom, my sweet friends were quick at putting a quick baby shower/sip n see for us. Both showers were so wonderful and couldn't be more grateful for the sacrifice that these friends made for us.   

Unfortunately, I don't have pictures (yet) of the other baby shower. I did, however, had to put together a quick and easy thank-you for the amazing hostesses.....

I absolutely love the simplicity of this 3x3 card! It took me no time to put 15 of these together and attach them to some shortbread cookies that I made using the "Thank You" cookie stamp from SU! and packaged.Unfortunately, these cookie stamps were only for SU! demos. Sorry!!!

Supplies Used:

• cardstock: very vanilla, soft suede
• inks: summer starfruit, raspberry ripple, primrose petals  
• stamps: punch bunch (sale-a-bration; retired) 
• punches: scallop trim border, 1 3/4" scallop circle 

Everyone at the sip n see got to see our sweet baby boy..... isn't he just absolutely adorable?!!!
