invite: lil' pumpkin

This stack of papers...
became this...
A friend and I are hosting a Halloween themed baby shower for another friend of ours (yes, she loves Halloween as much as I do).  The color scheme is traditional black and orange with a bit of blue thrown into the mix since the new arrival will be a boy.

Speaking of boy, this little detail is my favorite on the invite.  
After designing the invites I realized that the little strip of blue paper might not be enough info for guests to know that Kendall is having a boy so I added this little tag.  I love it!

Although these are for a baby shower they would work equally as well for any Halloween bash you may be throwing.  Want to recreate this invite?  Here's what I used...

striped black and cream paper:  My Mind's Eye, The Spider Web "Toil and Trouble"

blue paper:  Bazzill  

orange paper:  Bazzill

"oh boy" tag:  my design, black box with lettering in white, printed on cardstock

main font:  century gothic 

"baby shower" and "boy" font:  Ithornet

I put it all together with my trusty Xyron - the crafting tool that I can't live without.  Sure you can use double sided tape but why would you when you can use the Xyron.  If you don't have one Christmas is coming up - you may want to ask Santa.

Be sure to click on all of the above links for more info and stayed tuned for pictures of the shower in a couple weeks.

announcing

Is this not an adorable way to announce a new baby?  It would be an equally cute wedding announcement.
I found it on my niece-in-laws, sister's blog.  Shalynna, I hope you don't care that I shared your news with a bunch of strangers.

If you haven't checked out the creative genius over at Most Likely Late you better get on over there.  Brittany is amazingly talented and throws a pretty dang good shindig!  Visit her blog to see more pictures of this fun cookies and milk safari themed baby shower.

Elisa York created the cute invites - I'm loving the graphic.  I just checked out her blog for the first time today and I'm loving it too.  I'd encourage you to check it out and find some inspiration.
