I saw a die that would cut out a onesie and thought, geez, that is so easy, why couldn’t you just cut one out?  I had a viewer request a video for a baby card. I made the template and then I made a card.   It was so simple to make a template that I started thinking about my niece’s upcoming wedding and the shower card I’ll need to make for her.  Why couldn’t I just make a template of a wedding dress?  I think the next time I am in Joann’s, I’m going to look for some sheer white lacy material and buy 4″ of it to make a layer of material to at least cover the bottom of the dress/card I’m going to make.  It might be a horrible fail, but I’ve got a lot of time to experiment.  I’d like her card to really stand out and be different from everyone else’s (in a good way).  She’s my husband’s goddaughter and deserves something special.  I’m also making a recipe box for her, covering an existing recipe box (made to be covered) with Graphic 45 paper.  She’s asking every person who attends her shower to bring their favorite recipe with them.  I really don’t want to disappoint her.  Since she was a teenager, she’s looked to me to handle special projects for her.  For her shower, she really wanted a family recipe book as well, so I asked all of her aunts, her mother and grandmother and her new mother-in-law for their favorite recipes. Jennifer really wanted recipes from her deceased grandmother in her handwriting, so I figured out a way to copy the old recipe cards directly onto the new cards so she would have them.  They came out better than I expected and I think she’ll be really happy with the results.  Of course we also bought her a present and I’m pretty sure I don’t have a clue when it comes to shower gifts.  I always see ladies bringing their cute little packages and I bought her this huge gift that I can’t even lift, let alone carry into a shower. Geez, I should have bought towels.
