A Tea Baby Shower and A Wedding

 My friend Genelle  held a Baby shower Tea party

for our friend Twylah's second baby.

A small intimate affair at the Holly Hotel.

So I got busy making some favors for the guests

and presents for the baby.

 I made 16 tea cups using the Sizzix die

Stamped them with various Verve sentiments.

And 16 place cards , 

Genelle had the pleasure of writing

 the names of the guests on them.

 Made 16 pairs of earrings. Loaded them with mint

M&Ms and mini pink Chocolate balls.
And an organic green tea bag.

This is how they looked liked with  the table setting. 

A gift card box was made from a photo keeper box.

 Had fun making my first card in a box card.

 Made a banner with the babies name

I also decorated a mirror frame with

 big sis and little sis's 

initials on it with  a place to insert photos 

of the girls.

So I have been a little busy 

and I wasn't able to join 

in some of the challenges

 I normally like to.

But it's all good just as long as I am creating.

I also had a friend get married on the same day

as the Baby shower. She already knew I couldn't come.

While I was sharing what I had been doing..

she saw the card box and mentioned

 she still needed one.

This is what I made for her.

The metal ribbon slide  says "together".

I also was given the privileged of making

jewelry to go with the dress she was wearing.

Then I gifted her with a bracelet and earrings.

She was very pleased.

I went for a very literal interpretation 

and this is what I came up with:

Big Juicy Strawberries

 Baby Strawberries

 Who knew I had these charms?

Originally antique silver..

just added a bit of Alcohol inks.

The complete strawberry collection.
