elepahants and baby showers

A close friend of mine is expecting and I was asked to design the baby shower invites. What an honor! Her theme is elephants so that sent me on a quest to find the right elephants to go with the idea floating around in my head. Thanks to SVG Cuts and their weekly free file, I found the perfect elephant.

I had some left over elephants so I made cupcake toppers.

The background paper on the cards is from the Nursery Collection by Debbie Mum.

One of my closest friends is having a baby shower today and awhile back I made the shower invites so I thought I would continue through and make a scrap book layout too. Her theme is owls if you haven't guessed.

I used the Debbie Mumm Nursery Rhyme Glitter Card Stack for the layout plus a few odds and ends for the owls and plain pink card stock for the areas to write in. I was so lucky as to find "The Owl and the Pussy Cat" themed paper in this stack.

This is page one of the layout. These are the same owls I used on the invites but in different colors. The owls are SVG files I got through SVGattick.



Here is a close up of the owls.
I cut the mommy owl at 3.5 inches and the baby at 2.5 inches.












Here is a close up of the heading:

Here is page two layout:

Here is a close up of what the little signs say. I left the middle one blank so they could take a special picture and add it with their own caption.
