Baby Boy Bunny Thank You Notes



I'm finally getting settled into motherhood with my 2 girls and have started creating again. I hope to be better at posting, but still trying to work on time management and usually my blog is the first one to go, but I'm going to work on it...I promise! :)

I created these thank you notes to match one of my invites which is pictured below. The Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery is a great combo when expecting a baby boy! This set can also be made in a variety of other colors to fit for girl, boy or the unknown! The scallop circle works perfectly with the size of the circle. The inside of these note cards are blank providing plenty of room for to write a special note of thanks! Here is the matching invite which can also be customized!

And we had a....

Baby Girl! My little bundle of joy was born on June 28th at 4:16 PM. Her name is Julia and we are so excited to have this new addition to our family. I'm blessed with 2 beautiful girls. We're still getting settled and adjusting, but I wanted to share the news! I hope to be back to business in August and will keep you posted!

Preparing for our new arrival!


Well, nothing ever goes as planned! I was hoping to have had at least a few more blog posts on here before we welcomed our little one, but that obviously did not happen. I did want to post at least one more time to provide you with an update. We are expecting our little bundle of joy on Tuesday and we can't wait! We are so excited to find out what we are having. The pregnancy had some unexpected bumps along the way, but I think everything is all worked out now!

Since we don't know the sex of the baby, I came up with some generic thank you cards. I thought I'd share these with you.  Currently, my shop is on vacation mode until I get adjusted, but I hope to be back up and running real soon as I miss it already! I also hope to be better at blogging and keeping you updated as well! I hope you're enjoying your summer and thank you for stopping by!

Why I've been MIA!


I know I haven't posted in ages, but I do have good reasons. First, let me introduce you to my new office! I don't have a photo of my old space, but since we moved the office to the front of our home, it needed to be neat, nice and inviting. It is all of that and more! I'm so organized and can get so much more accomplished now that I have the work space!

Second, the reason for the big office move. I'm just about 31 weeks pregnant and we've moved my toddler into what was my office and the baby will be taking over her old room. Needless to say, transitioning 3 rooms pregnant was a huge undertaking and this all happened during one of the busiest times for my business (not that I'm complaining), but it didn't leave me much time for anything else.

Finally, I received my first wedding invitation order! I had so much fun working with the bride in order to design her dream invitation. Here are a couple photos of the final product.

Umbrella Shower Invite Sample

This shower invite is perfect for a bridal or baby shower! The color combo used here was inspired more for a bridal shower, but you can interchange the color with a soft pink or blue and brown for a baby shower! There are more than 40 colors available, so the possibilities are endless. The background is embossed to provide texture. The image is hand stamped and colored to coordinate with the colors of the card. The sentiment "It's a Shower" was hand stamped and the flowers were punched out and adhered using a brad. The inside of the card provides the guests with the custom details. Such a fun invite!! For more information on this invite, visit my Etsy shop. Thanks for looking and please feel free to leave feedback.

Masculine Birthday Card





I needed a few masculine birthday cards for the month of March. This is always a challenge for me since I seem to have more girly stamps than masculine, but I decided to use my new cupcake punch and Create a Cupcake stamp set to make this fun card. The colors are Wild Wasabi, Baja Breeze and Early Espresso. The layout came from one the previous Mojo Monday sketches. I really like the way this card turned out.


The inside of the card reads, "There's something fabulous about your birthday {must be you!}". I love the brad embellishments as it added that little something extra to this card! I can't wait to send these off to the recipients. Thanks for stopping by and looking and please feel free to leave a comment. I'd love to hear from you!

Baby Congrats Card






Recently, there seems to be something in the water! A few of my good friends are expecting and here's one card I decided to congratulate one of them with on their happy news. This card is generic since the news is too new to know the sex. The colors are Daffodil Delight and Certainly Celery. The images were hand stamped and colored. The background was embossed with dots to provide texture and the stamped images were adhered to scallop squares providing a sweet little detail. The "Congratulations" sentiment was adhered to the card using foam squares. I really like the way this card turned out and just thought I'd share it with you.

Thanks for stopping by and looking!

Tropical Save the Date





I've been working on these Save the Dates this past weekend and thought I'd share. I love the jewel colors the bride has chosen! The colors are Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise. Each flower is stamped and cut out by hand. The envelope is hand stamped in the lower left hand corner to coordinate. I really love this color combo and although my hand is still recovering from all the cutting, I really do love the way these turned out! Thanks for looking!

I also made matching cupcake toppers! The images include baby feet, stork, and baby rattles! Visit here for more information on how to order these cute items. Let me know what you think and thanks for stopping by!

Groomsman Thank You Card





One of my most popular sets is the Bridal Party Thank You Notes. Most of the time, the brides just request for the girls, but I do have the ability to create thank you notes for the guys! I finally received my first request and decided a cake image would be a great focal point to replace the dress image used for the girls! The guys cards read on the inside, "for being my Groomsman." Below is a picture of the inside.

I'm so excited as this is one of my favorite sets to create. It is the perfect way for the couple to thank their family and friends for taking part of their special day. It is customizable in over 40 colors, providing numerous options to match the wedding color theme! For more information on how to order these cards, please visit my Etsy shop at www.baybreezedesigns.etsy.com.
