front of invitation
I made the baby shower invitations using the online website Mixbook where you can upload your own photos and edit them, upload your own scrapbook papers and elements to design your own cards, photo books, and calendars. You can also invite other family members to help out with the albums. I have made photo albums to give as gifts and am currently working on getting all our family photos put into albums.
In keeping with the "Princess" theme, I titled the front of the invitation "Preparing for a Princess" and I added pics of Miranda, her belly, and an ultrasound. The back of the invitation had all the details for the shower itself.
I have enjoyed scrapbooking in the past but have found that I prefer the unlimited artistic options by going digital. Every single background, element and every text was put into place and edited by me. If you've never tried it but would like to, let me warn you, it can become very addicting...

I've also recently found the online photo editing site Picnik and have just started playing around with it, and so far I'm in "LLLLOVVVVEEEE" with it. I used it on the back of the invitation to "pixelate" Miranda's last name and the RSVP phone number, I'm not that great at it, but I'll only get better with practice :)

Now for the Branch Centerpiece DIY Tutorial:
The food table featuring the branch centerpiece (I wish we would have taken the pic after we cleaned off the bar in the background)
I started with dead, bare branches that had fallen in our yard out of the large maple tree that drops them every time a wind storm blows through. I picked the ones that were the most appealing to me. I then purchased from Michael's a couple of containers of small fabric flowers, Martha Stewart Glittering Glue & Lustre Glass MicroBeads in White Gold.
I proceeded to add the glittering glue to the center of some of the flowers, then sprinkled the microbeads onto it, shaking off the excess...
Some of the smaller flowers, I layered with hot glue. I also found the tall pink tin can at Michael's and stuffed it with wadded up newspaper to provide support for the branches. I arranged the branches into the newspaper then used my hot glue gun to attach the flowers randomly.
To finish it off, I added a white feather boa that was purchases at Hobby Lobby to the top of the tin pot. We plan to place this in the nursery for decoration but I think I'm going to have to cut the size down quite a bit. To get this to the shower, I had to remove the branches from the tin, and lay them flat in the back of my SUV (the branches were so big, I had to lay the back seats down for them to fit), then I just rearranged it back together at the shower. It was honestly so easy to do.
I used very little of the glue and microbeads, so I'll have them for another project, so this really only cost me the price of the tin pot, the feather boa and the flowers, probably around $22.
Nate Berkus always says to use things from nature and I think this fits that bill nicely, if the branches get broken, they are very easy to replace, and cost nothing because you can reuse the flowers.

Keep watch this week for an awesome interview and giveaway from an amazing etsy artisan!!! I'll also be sharing the menu, some purchases from other amazing etsy artisans, and a few handmade gifts.

And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if
it's allright. Is it just me or does it look as if like a few of
these responses come across like coming from brain dead folks?
:-P And, if you are posting at additional online
