Handmade Baby Shower Invitations for a best friend!

I'll be honest. I threw a fantastic baby shower for my best friend last December. She had a boy, and it was a monkey/jungle themed party. I really wish I took pictures of that too, for it was so great!

Invitations were printed on Pool Cover Paper from Paper Source. I have always been really impressed by the quality of their paper. Always smooth, looks nice and cuts great. The gold matte is Shimmer Gold Cover Paper. Tied it off with a nice metallic brown ribbon I picked up from Michael's. That cute monkey is printed on gloss paper and hand cut (!!!). Back in my craft days when I was be-missed of my paper cutter (which IS awesome by the way). The Monkey is tacked on with a raised sticky plug thing...not quite sure what the name of that is, but I got it from good old Hobby Lobby.

Needless to say, she LOVED her invitiations, and once of them is still tacked up on her fridge 10 months later. :)

Until next time!
