I was able to go to a baby shower for an old friend this weekend. She and I go all the way back to Driver’s Ed in high school! And, funnily enough, our due dates are only a week apart!
I was asked to make the new mommy-to-be a corsage to wear during her shower. I immediately thought rolled rosettes would make a gorgeous and unique corsage. The yellow rosette is actually made from some trim that I simply rolled around in a spiral pattern. To make it all stand out a bit more I ran some fun lace around edge of the entire corsage.
Remember my Keep Calm printable? Its strikes again! To dress up the frame I simply added some blue lace.
I was also in charge of one of the games we played. I made up these fun baby bingo cards.
Here is a close up of the instructions:
It was a big hit with all the shower attendees! And I love that since I made them, I was able to personalize them for my friend.
And, of course, no baby shower post is any good without a good baby bump picture!!
Congrats, Vanessa, on your impending new addition!
