baby shower favors

in an effort to get my mind off politics, wait...i guess i should tell you why my mind would even be there - i would say i am a bit of a political junkie...i became obsessed with politics in 6th grade - not sure why - and was convinced i'd become a political analyst for fox news. well, i don't work for fox news but i did get a degree in political science and am still obsessed with it. i know that it is such a touchy subject. so, i try to avoid it on my blog. while i would love to defend my beloved fox news and go on and on and on about the first amendment, censorship, oh yeah, and how our economy is slowly becoming un-capitalistic, i won't. instead i will tell you about some cute baby shower favors.

how do you create the cutest baby shower favors ever??? a few easy steps. (i should tell you first, that i didn't make these. my aunt, who is entirely creative and an absolute perfectionist, made them for me and sent them to me all the way from california. she is sweet like that. i am creating a website for her to sell cards, stationery, favors, etc. i can't wait to share the site with you when it is up and running!) if you don't have an aunt like mine, here's how you can make the favors yourself:
several cute scrapbook papers

stamp pad, scalloped circle punch, and a "welcome little one" stamp (made by stampin' up)

york peppermint patties

double sided tape

stamp a circular piece of the scrapbook paper as shown and then cut out a larger circle for a background color. then, take another piece of scrapbook paper and use the scallop circle punch to make 2 scalloped circles. finally, use double sided tape on the inside of each piece and attach a york peppermint patty.

this is what you'll get! a super cute baby shower favor!
thanks aunt cheryl!
