About to Pop! Invitations

Invitations for Mary's "About to Pop!" baby shower kept in the grey/purple/turquoise theme.  I used Paper Source's gravel card stock and diagonal folder enclosure in luxe white, which has a bit of texture.  I designed the circle border design in my very unsophisticated design software -- Apple's Pages.  


Registry information was noted on the diagonal space (see above) with a sticker made with circle and scallop circle punches and a Xyron sticker maker.



In lieu of a greeting card, guests were encouraged to bring a book with a message to Baby P on the inside cover.  I conveyed this message with a poem and included a book plate (aka sticker) for guests to use inside their book.  To make the book plate, I printed "From the Potters' Library" on Avery labels and embellished them with an owl stamp.


Check out the great books/greeting cards Mary received!

On the Subject of Shout-Outs . . .

When Third Coast Sisters received a shout-out on a stranger's blog, I realized that I am completely remiss in giving a shout-out to my very dear and talented friend Nancy and her Etsy shop, Nancy Jo Studio

Nancy is a gifted seamstress and has an impeccable eye for color.  The detail in her work is incredible, and she pours so much thought and effort into every one of her designs.

Nancy embroidered this pillow as a wedding gift for Mr. B and me.


I am also lucky to own one of Nancy Jo Studio's beautiful clutch purses.  Our friend commissioned Nancy to design a unique clutch for each of her eleven bridesmaids to carry at her wedding.  Each clutch had a different style and embellishments, however, all were made from the same fabric which created a stunning ensemble.  Such a fun gift for your bridesmaids to use on your wedding day, and for years to come! 


Last but certainly not least, Nancy's baby quilts are gorgeous! If only I had a pregnant friend . . .
