It's baby crazy time! My good friend, colleague, and fellow crafty girl is expecting her first baby this fall. I got the chance to help out a bit at her baby shower this weekend. I had fun being the unofficial photographer and snapping surprise shots of her.
She was absolutely glowing - it was great seeing her so happy.
I also had fun making a few things for the party (certainly no where near the effort of the amazing hostesses - but I was happy to do my part)! This was a "country" themed party, so I had to stretch myself creatively :) You can see pics of these on my Facebook page.
What I'm eager to share today, however, were a couple of handmade cards from the shower! First up is the sweet card from one of the mama-to-be's best friends:
She and her husband have decided to wait on finding out the gender of the baby, so I love how her friend represented both on her card - too sweet!
Next is this card hand sketched by another friend (who happens to be an artist):
What a wonderful gift to recieve such a card! I love all of the personal touches from these handmade projects.
Last up is my card, designed to match the crafty things I made for the party. I have to take a moment to explain the photo - I just couldn't resist! I've been noticing all of the sweet card photos taken by Travelingmama where her cards are photographed with someone holding the card (like this picture here). I thought it would be cute to photograph the card alonside her preggo belly :)
This makes me realize I need to upgrade my camera soon, as my photo pales in comparison to those on Traveling Mama's blog, but it was a first effort!
Oh, and here's the surprise insert I put in the card...
Special tickets from Knock Knock, a little gift to her from me :)
Congratulations mom- and dad-to-be, we are all eager to meet your little one!
