Baby shower invitations

We have finally completed the baby shower invitations.....for the most part.
It only took three days and three moms juggling children and duties.

What you'll need:
  • - Template which you can get 
  • - Regular sized card stock(1 or 2 colors)
  • - Scissors
  • - Tape
  • - Ribbon
  • - Hole punch


How To:
So your first step would be to print out the template. It will come out blue so if you don't want it blue you can use it as a tracer like we did.
It will look like this when your done. (Minus the holes)

Then fold. You can use the template as a guide for the folding. After a while you get the hang of where to fold. But this is what the front will look like after you have folded it. (Minus the holes)

Now take your hole punch and put in the holes for your ribbon.


We added black card stock to the inside. We got the design at picmonkey.com
We also added a diaper raffle invite. I uploaded the picture from Google on to picmonkey and wrote a little note :) we taped both those inside.

Then just fold it up and tie some ribbon in the holes. Tape them down. And Walla!
We added names and a cute card stock bat logo on the back.

  • Yellow Card stock for invitations -$0.16 per page from officemax (45 pages) --$7.20

And the party planning has begun!

So February 15th is one of my best friend's baby shower that I'm planning. She loves batman so for her little boy I am doing batman :) I have finally started doing the projects that I need to do (I'm a horrible procrastinator!) Devon pretty much did this one though because he's selfish and steals my projects! But it's a motorcycle diaper cake! I can't wait to share all the rest of the projects for the baby shower and Chayse's first birthday :)

So far....It's still going?

This new year isn't spectacular but it isn't horrible. I'm still not sure about how things are going with Devon and I. I mean yeah we are doing good we talk we see each other but he isn't helping more with Chayse or buying things. I've actually been helping him. Everyone thinks he's just trying to use this to get out of court stuff. But I don't think he is. I just wish hed help more with Chayse.  Especially because I have the flu right now. Ugh I just really hope things get more clear.
