I finally finished the invitations for the baby shower.  I didn’t have to make that many, but I was always running out of time.  But, anyway…since I’m fairly sure the mom-to-be doesn’t read my blog, I’m showing you the gift for the upcoming shower. 

I bought a baby blanket, folded & wrapped it to be a diaper.  I thought it needed a little help, so I used some giant paper clips and some punches to add a topper and came up with giant diaper pins.  I hope someone can tell what it’s supposed to be. 

For the card, I used white card stock cut & scored to make a 4 1/4 inch square card.  Then I used the retired DSP East Coast Prep, some bashful blue and more white to make the front layers.  I stamped the Baby Hippo in Basic Black and colored him with the markers.  I added a square clip from the retired Hodgepodge Hardware in Pewter.

Wow, I didn’t realize I’d used that much retired stuff – sorry about that!  I’ll try to do better next time!

Happy Stamping!
