out of the box creative...: Simple Life meets Ryan Andrew...

A dear friend of mine had her baby last May and since she was on the east coast there was a group of us who didn't get to "ooooo" and "ahhhhh" all over this precious bundle of joy. So... we came up with the idea of throwing her a Sip 'N See shower once she got back to town. The three hostesses got together, decided on a farm theme and planned out this fantastic occasion, with one mission... SPOIL them rotten!!! Luckily between the three of us hosting we had a talented chef, a party planner/Wonder Woman and one obsessed with paper and glue {me}! I was in charge of the invitations, guest book, a scrapbook, party favors and extra farm touches.

Baby Ryan's invitation...

HOW TO: MLS paper cut into 4x6, made up a template to cut out the pocket, distressed each piece of paper, used pop dots, & inserted printed tag with tied ribbon then attach Simple Life Sticker Icon.

Here is the welcome/guest book signing area... only with a crafty spin.

Instead of the traditional guest book I created little Well Wishes tags so the guests could write a personal message to the bouncy baby boy. These tags were distressed and stamped with the new My Little Shoebox stamps and tied with ribbons.
