Owl Invitations for Baby Shower

I was asked to make 50 owl invitations for an upcoming baby shower.  She is a family friend and loved my SIL onesie invites and asked for something very similar.  Unfortunately for me when I upgraded to my Cricut Expression 2, I lost all my old files that were saved.

Happy Birthday Mary!

It was my MIL on 9-11, and all she wanted for her birthday was for the San Diego Chargers to win the game (they did).  Our entire family has season tickets and usually all carpool down together to our tailgating spots.  My husband and I made up an excuse to her and went down early to decorate our parking spot for her birthday.  Since she is a die-hard fan, and her favorite color is yellow, it made it easy to create a banner in the Chargers colors.

Cricut Dimensions:

Straight from the Nest: 
Banner 7.5"
Border 7.5"
Scallop 4.5" (Cuttlebug emboss "Polka Dots")

Birthday Bash
Letters 1.5"

I had my 7 year old friend emboss the white scallops, she did a great job!

CoCaLo Turtle Reef Baby Shower Centerpieces Handmade

A family friend is having a baby and my mom and I volunteered to make the baby shower centerpieces.

It's Almost Summer Time | Baby Shower Banner

My soon to be niece's name is Summer, and my husband came up with this clever title for the baby shower banner to hang "It's Almost Summer Time."  Who knew he had it in him ;)

Banner Border cut from SFTN at 7.5" (13 on a 12x12)

I found cute charms in the baby section of Michael's some are a onesie with "baby" and the other says "It's a Girl!"
