I am super busy these days. As I may have mentioned, my niece is expecting her first baby in January and I am throwing her a baby shower next month. She and hubby do not want to know the sex of their child in advance, so they call her/him Bumble Bee. Thus the theme of the shower. I am having a blast making decorations but can't post pics of them yet as I don't want Kelly to see. Here is the invite and the thank you cards I made. Since they are already mailed out, and the thank you cards delivered to her, I can share. However, I forgot to take a picture of the inside of the invite and as I said, they are all mailed out. At some point I will get a picture and post it. In the meantime...
For after the shower, thank you notes...
After the event, I will post pictures of the decorations. I'm having a lot of fun. BUT, this is taking time away from card making for my charities. So, my plan is simple - I am making as many CAS (clean and simple) cards as I can to refill my stock, which has dwindled to almost nothing. As you can see, these are very simple, yet I hope, cheerful. I am using left-overs from other cards and scraps - left-over images, left-over shapes, left-over backgrounds, etc. I tried to use as much as I could from my odds and ends drawer. Once I am finished with the shower planning, I will resume the more intricate cards. I laugh because as you know by now, my "intricate" cards are still what I classify as CAS. These will just have more layers. LOL
TIP OF THE DAY: Forgive me for repeating myself, but I think this is important. Any card that does NOT have a white or ivory card base needs a liner inside for writing purposes. The people who use these cards (meant for the charities) often use a pencil, and a pencil is hard to see on colored papers. So, yes, even light colors and yellow need a white liner.
Thank you for stopping by today.
Hugs, Jill
