Baby Shower Gift

It's a new thing to me is baby showers, what is the correct thing to do? My scrapbooking buddy Julia is hosting a baby shower tonight for her daughter in law who is due to have the first baby in the family. Understandably they are beyond exited, I was very honoured to have been invited because it is for close family,  and although I don't know Julia's family I hear about them often. I have bought a pair of little bootees, some scratch mitts and a snuggle blanket. They are just token gifts for the day. What I spent most time on was making the gift bag, I came a cross a link that led me here, for $5 I loved the tote enough to buy the template. Here is the gift bag I made using the template, I can see this being a good investment.
 There's a little purse to go with the bag but I didn't make it on this occasion. I've got to laugh at the bunny's face, he's not too sure at all really is he?

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout.  Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking.  I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic.   Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued
