A Baby Shower Invitation

My husband's brother and his wife are expecting TWINS!!!  I was in charge of doing the invitations for the shower and this is what I came up with.
I tried to keep it as simple as I could since I had to make 30 of these.  I had in my mind that I wanted to use babies in a pea pod and searched EVERYWHERE for a stamp and couldn't find one. A stamp sure would have made this project a lot easier!  I ended up just drawing out my own pea pod and cut them all out. Boy was that a job!  Seeing as I am NOT an artist and can't draw, they turned out fine!  The babies heads are punched from a 1 1/2 inch circle punch.  I stamped the faces with the Baby Faces set from Peachy Keen stamps.  I used a Fiskars punch for the border, added the "It's a Shower" stamp, and it was done.  I usually like to be more detailed with the cards I make, but 30 was A LOT to make, so simple was best for this project.

Thanks for stopping by!
