25 Days of Christmas Day 12: Diaper Tricycle

Hello again everyone!!

Over the past year or two, everyone I know has been getting married and having babies.  I started by making diaper cakes.  While looking at pinterest and other blogs, I found diaper tricycles, and I have never looked back.  It consists of great gifts, such as diapers, receiving blankets, bottle, socks, washcloths, and a stuffed animal.  It is also certainly an eye catcher and looks great as a centerpiece.

Here is one I made for a good friend of ours.

The giraffe on top is named Larry and is the baby's favorite toy.  She takes a picture by it every month.  

What is your go to thing to give at a baby shower?  Any fun games, tips or ideas?

See you tomorrow!!

Watch This Wednesday #2 - Diaper Cake

Hello Everyone!!

I wanted to do a quick post (complete with video tutorial) abut my diaper cake!!  Some of my coworkers and I threw a surprise baby shower for our boss and his wife.  We have been planning this for about a month, and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to make a diaper cake.  I have seen them everywhere, but have never had the opportunity to make one.

 I looked at several different tutorials (I can't remember who's...google it) and meshed their tips and tricks to come up with my own method.  In my search, I had a difficult time finding a good video on how to make a diaper cake.  It would start off fine and then leave you to know how to finish it.  Therefore, I wanted to create a video that went from start to finish.  As you can see, I added a few extra toys between the time of the video and the shower.  I hope you guys enjoy!!

Small Wonder

Hi Everyone!

I just got back from Texas a few days ago, and it was amazing! I had a fabulous time visiting my family. Now I'm just getting ready for school to start again.  It's my last year in graduate school!! I'm excited to be done with school, but a little nervous about getting an adult job.  I'm sure it will be good though!

Here is a card I did a little while back that I haven't shared.  I got my inspiration from a Stampin' Up stamp that is in the new catalogue.  I love the adult and baby elephant.  This is the first baby card I made, and I'm proud of it.  Let me know what you think!! As always, the supplies I used are at the bottom.
