My friend and fellow stamper, Rae Anne, is expecting a baby in January. So what better way to celebrate than with Stampin' Up!? Her sister, Becky and friend, Deana, did an awesome job with the invitations, favors, and table decorations using the Fox and Friends stamp set. So when I happened across this outfit - I had to buy it since it fit the theme perfectly! I created the gift bag with Fox and Friends and then made a gift card holder for some Decor Elements money. I knew Rae Anne was planning to do some decorating in the baby's room, and I wanted to help her get started. When she posts her finished projects on her blog, I will let you know. In the meantime,
here are some of the party decorations Becky and Deana did.
When I first started stamping, I learned to use an envelope to make a small little bag. It never occurred to me until recently (thanks M.E.) that if you used a big envelope, you would get a bigger bag. So I went to the store for the white, large mailing envelopes, and it didn't occur to me until I got home and started in that I shouldn't have bought envelopes with the blue security print on the inside. To make the envelope, cut the top off and score the remaining three sides. Then stick you hand in the bag and gently work the corner into a gusset and score lines into the bag shape. Now there's no need to buy gift bags again! 
Plain brown wrapper - of course not! With a little help from My Digital Studio, I printed names on cardstock, punched them out with one of our new framelits and added a couple jewels and a ribbon. I was inspired by some bags Stampin' Up! gave us at convention with a cute little label and thought I should try some of my own!
