Baby shower tea party invite

Another Pinterest idea. I found the template for this online, though now that I'm trying to find it again, it's no where to be found. So sorry! There are lots of templates online, I just can't find the specific one we used. My BFF and I traced and cut out 24 of these! We used purple, lavender and pink card stock for the base and I found some cute pink and white gingham paper, felt kind of like fabric, on mega clearance at JoAnn's, which is what we used for the tops of the invite, adding some dimension to it. We got tons of compliments on our efforts! =)

OWLS!

This has become one of my newest obsessions - I found the idea on Pinterest and have changed it from the original, which was for an ornament. My wonderful husband and mother in law have been able to make bigger templates for me and I have 4 different sizes now! The first one that is shown was made for my 2 year old - it was the second one I'd made, the second picture is the first one I made. Once Ryann saw it, she had to have one and wouldn't leave me alone until it was finished! I am NOT a sewer - this is just felt, some fabric glue and embroidery floss. My mother in law taught me the "blanket stitch" to finish the edges to make them look nice. That was such a help!!! The final pic is the one that I started this whole project for - I wanted a "hooty owl" on my burlap wreath. I plan on making 3 of these, in graduated sizes, for Christmas in traditional Christmas colors. I will also eventually make the original ornament =)
