My friend had a baby shower recently. I was invited to go. I had never been to a baby shower before. I knew presents are involved and that it’s generally related to babies. Other than that, I was kind of at a loss. But, no matter! Even with such sketchy knowledge, I made her a card anyway!
So, it kind of looked like that. I didn’t do a concept sketch beforehand so I doodled out what it ended up looking like after I gave it to her (and realized I didn’t take a picture of it). I used mainly the Create a Critter cartridge from my Cricut to make the card. I ended up welding some clouds together to make bigger ones and I found a flat bottomed cloud in Craft Room (I think). Too bad you can’t see the actual card. I was rather amused by it. I made it from a bluish 6″x12″ piece of cardstock folded in offset thirds. The front flap was trimmed so that there was more cloudy rufflies on the leftmost edge.
Anyway, true to form, I had a theme. I decided my friend’s baby will need stimulation. So I bought him basically all the toys on the registry. Toys are important. Now then, it’s a baby shower, so I think there is…rain? Maybe a lot? Enough to make a puddle? And there are a bunch of toys for him. So maybe it’s raining toys? The giraffe is there because I like them. And it fit better than the elephant, which also was kind of a theme for the shower. And monkeys. But I didn’t make any monkeys. Anyway, there were a lot of booties, baby singlets, rubber duckies, and t-rexes raining down. Because…these are obviously things that would rain down during a baby shower. So obvious.
