I am Jack's Baby Shower.

This post is going to be about all of the preparations and craftiness for my baby shower.

It was extremely difficult to figure out a theme for the baby shower. Should we do something centered around the fact I'm having a boy? Should we do something catered toward my wants? Not to mention, I'm really picky when it comes to stuff like this and I don't want to settle for just whatever boy stuff we can find.

I was planning on doing jungle themed invites from PaperCrafts Magazine, but the overwhelming amount of cutting that had to be done, cut that from the list. Then there was the simple fact that we didn't have a theme picked out. It's extremely hard to think of a cute card when there is no theme.

One day Mumsy and I went up to Party City to look at the baby shower supplies they have there, hoping for inspiration. We were getting ready to leave full of disappointment, when Mumsy saw these cute little pea pod favors. Then and there we had out theme. Pea pods and Poppies! Light greens, orange accents, and of course light blues. My favorite color scheme of them all.

Now that we had a theme, it was time to brainstorm baby shower invites. We found some really cute clear stamps at Michaels. Finished product:
