Baby Blog Hop – It’s a Girl!
I am beyond thrilled to participate today with some special in friends to help Taylor spread the word that she’s expecting a GIRL in September! Taylor invited each of us to share a sweet girlie project in celebration of this wonderful blessing! Create something PINK and sparkly and share the joy of a sweet friend? You didn’t have to ask me twice!
I decided to decorate a Perfect Package to coordinate with the baby card I posted on Monday. The box holds a little gift now and I’m hoping it can hold special keepsakes in the nursery in the future. This was a really fun “play” project…the more pink and flowery and pearly, the better! Click on the photos below to see them larger.
I love Perfect Packages and they are so easy to decorate! The paper I used here is Girls Paperie *swoon*. I think pretty much all of the supplies, other than the flowers, came from Taylored Expressions. Spellbinders Fancy Tags, Fleur de Lis, celery silk ribbon, pearls, pom pom trim and more. All of the pink cardstock elements were painted with Smooch Illuminate, so they have a pretty soft sparkle.
Here’s the inside of the lid of the box.
The two sentiments I used are from two new stamp sets at TE – Baby Cakes and Welcome Little One.
I really couldn’t be happier for Taylor and Jon! Well, ok…I’d be a tiny bit happier if they still lived in California and I could play Auntie in person! I know they are going to be fabulous parents and that’s going to be one lucky little girl!
I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone has created today. You’ll also want to hop around to the rest of the blogs linked below as Taylor will be giving away one stamp set of your choice from the May release to a lucky commenter on one of the blogs! You have through Sunday, May 8th to leave your comments and the winner will be announced on Taylor’s blog on Monday!
