Oh Baby!

This post is dedicated to all the friends and family members who are expecting in the near future; trying to make babies, or those who already have that little bundle of joy growing up before your eyes. It's quite an amazing experience to watch your close friends raise a child. It usually feels like we are all kids ourselves and much too young to have our own families. I am very much looking forward to having my own kids in the future, but for now I will enjoy all of your babies by spoiling and returning when the time is right.

Newsflash: for those who are not up to speed on my life, I am going to be an Auntie around November 8, 2009! My younger brother and fiance are expecting their first baby. Everyone is quite excited, especially my parents and grandparents. The peanut gallery is even more excited to find out if it will be a girl or a boy. Ryan and Kyla have decided to let it be a surprise; which is frustrating for some, but I admire their patience. I think it makes the experience even more exciting! In lieu of the niece or nephew in the oven, my Mom and I are throwing a shower. Baby showers require invitations, so I thought I'd share my latest invite creation with you.

I decided to go with the neutral baby colors since we don't know the gender; greens and yellows. I was inspired by an uber-cute pack of baby scrapbooking paper at the store. I also found a really, really cute chicky stamp to dress up the invites. Add some fun, free font from 1001 Free Fonts website and texture yellow ribbon and wa-la:
