I LOVED this one! My sister-in-law was expecting my 5th niece (no nephews for me!) and I threw her a baby shower with the help of my mother-in-law. I wanted something that she could keep forever and my niece could look at throughout her life.
I found this idea and posted it in my "Shower idea". Then I went to work in my Stampin' Up My Digital Studio. Her nursery theme was owls/woods in browns, yellows, and pinks. I made my own cards with unique lines, in a 3 x 5 size, saved it as a JPG, then inserted it into a Word Document (Landscape, with .25" margins, to maximize the printing). Once I printed enough for the anticipated guests, I cut them down to size, and purchased a small photo album with the colors she was using.
I added the "From" at the top because I wanted her to know who was sending her the love :)
As the guests arrived (aunts, grandparents, friends, etc), I handed them out with pens. As everyone completed them, I inserted them into the photo album. At the end, I presented it to my sister-in-law.
I think this was a hit with the "seasoned" shower goers (older generation) that didn't really want to do the same old, same old shower games. AND it gives my niece something to look at and see how much she is loved by her family and the hopes and dreams we have for her future.
