I mailed 62 of these yesterday afternoon. Whew! My husband helped me a lot, punching all the corners and all those diaper pins, which were punched from Green Galore cardstock that was reinforced on the back with packing tape. I attached them to the card with dots of PVA glue - tedious but I think they make the card. I wheeled the baby feet diagonally one way with Green Galore, and the other way with Gable Green. I CASED the ribbon tab idea from Michelle Wooderson's gorgeous pocket card: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers Not shown on the scan is how the shower registry card is attached to the back of the insert tab, held in place using the slit punch on another piece of Green Galore stamped with Paisley. IRL, I printed out the shower info using Microsoft Publisher, six to a page. The shower is August 20, so now I'll be starting on the favors and prizes. Fun, fun, fun! I'm also posting the matching envelope.

I've been trying to come up with an idea for a bridal shower invitation, and I think I'm going to try this idea for my invitations - however, I'm single: can I borrow your husband?????

Oh, Linda! So many great ideas here! I knew those two sets went together really well and you demonstrated it beautifully. Also, the two color wheeling--love that! And then with the Paisley and the little hearts sprinkled across the front...gosh! This is just full of wonderful details!

I love this Linda! I love the color combination, the placement of the pins, the tiny little feet, just everything about it. I am so glad you posted it! I cannot believe you finished all 62 of these already. I hope one of these goes into the baby book as a keepsake!

Wow, I just added to my favorites then went back to read your description and saw my name. Thank you for mentioning me. This is adorable and I'm sure I'm going to be asked to make invitations for my niece's baby shower. Thanks for the inspiration!
