Twins Baby Shower Thank You using Cricut Everyday Paper Dolls and Nursery Rhymes

So today I am back with part 2 of the Twins Baby Shower with a Thank You and a shower game that easily turns into a gift for the mother to be!
Let's start with the Thank You card.  The video walks you step by step through the card making process!

Some detail shots:

So every shower needs a game--and since the mother to be did not have a theme--I thought I would just give her one--Nursery Rhymes--I am not stretching here--because yesterday I showed plates and napkins that had polka dots and nursery rhymes--and what better cartridge to use than Cricut Nursery Rhymes!
So here is what you do-
First each guest needs to bring a 4x6 or a 5x7 frame--a FUN frame something other than a plane basic frame (Ross and TJMaxx are great places to look).

Secondly make a number of Nusery Rhyme cuts (one for each guest) and have them ready to pop into the frams at the party.

For this cut I used glass beads to add some bling to the cut and I embossed the back ground with the large polka dot embossing folder.

















Lastly play two games Guess the Nusery Rhymes is one and What are the words is the second--you can have prizes for the winners but the frames all go home with the mommy to be!  As pictures are put in the cuts also can be used for a scrapbook!
I hope you likeed the card and the gift/game---I just love the fact that the mommy get to keep the frames because every new mommy and all newly weds can always use frames!
Remember to make it a great one-

Twins Shower...A boy and a girl!!!! Invite with Video

It's Wednesday and I have a challenge to answer!  Jennifer sent this one my way-

Hi Bryan,

My challenge to you was to come up with an invitation, decorations, party favors and possibly thank you notes for a baby shower we're giving August 7th. What makes it super challenging is that my brother & his wife are having twins: a boy and a girl! Also, they don't have a theme (if they were decorating their room in say a jungle theme, we could use that for the party). My sisters & I (who are giving the shower) thought it would be nice to do pink & brown and light blue & brown (we love those color combinations & they're so trendy right now). But how do we do that all on one invitation?
Any help would be much appreciated!!!
Thank you so much,
Jennifer
P.S.
I don't have any of the cartridges that make you think of a baby, like New Arrival or B is for Boy or Sugar & Spice. I do have the Potpourri Cartridge, Nursery Rhymes, Mother's Day (has a baby stroller) and a Child's Year, though.

So I have come up with this invitation--it is super simple but packs a wow when you pull it out of the envelope.  I have used pink, blue and brown; added ribbon and embossing and you have a really easy invite that you can make on the go (nice lunch hour assembly).  Each invite takes about 5 minutes if you have every thing cut and embossed. 

So in this challenge I also looked at decorations that could be used and found these perfect items at Hobby Lobby-Polka Dots and Nursery Rhymes are now your theme!  Instead of cake you will have cupcakes and if it is a morning shower you can do muffins!

Thursday I have part two to this challenge with a great thank you card, a gift idea for the mother to be, and some party decorations you can make into a game for the shower!

Thanks for stopping in and remember to make it a great one
