This evening I got started on designing the Save-The-Date cards for my SIL's baby shower. She is due in early September (feel sorry for her in this heat without A/C!) and folks have been asking about a shower. We (she) decided she would rather wait until after the baby is born so that they know whether it is a boy or girl and can register for gender-appropriate items. I decided to do Save-the-date cards to just let everybody know we haven't dropped the baby shower ball. See what you think...

Given that we don't know whether she is having a boy or girl we needed to keep it fairly gender-neutral. I chose the combination of Pool Party and Calypso Coral with just a hint of Island Indigo as an accent. I did the text in Microsoft Publisher and using the RGB codes from My Digital Studio to ensure the colours of the text matched the inks I used exactly. The base is one of the Note Cards from the catty...a great, economical option for smaller-sized cards and envelopes (just $7.50 for 20 cards & envelopes!). Since my sister-in-law is a clean-and-simple kinda gal, I kept the embellishments to a minimum...just a little pool party ruffled ribbon and a calypso coral polka dotted brad. I coloured the image using my aquapainter and ink pads...so easy to do!
I really hope my SIL likes these...she hasn't seem them yet and I've already got 10 done!
Don't know about your SIL, but I think they ROCK! Very CAS, great job!
