blogland baby shower for Cate

When Deb sent out an invite to an online baby shower for Cate I was intrigued, mostly because I’ve never attended one.

Deb’s idea was for us scrappers to create the basics of a page, using Cate’s favourite purple, so that Cate could then add a photo and some words and have a lovely album of her newest baby. Well I have plenty of purple stuff so putting together a page was fun.

I didn't really send her the photo of Carrie, me and Deb! I just preferred the photo of the page when I had a photo in place and that one was on my table when I made this in late April.

I though that Cate could use the ‘5’ in various ways – 5 days, 5 weeks, 5 favourite something, 5 facts, a hand or foot closeup (5 perfect digits) etc

So raising my glass to Cate and her new baby and to Deb for organising the shower and off to check out what else is happening for this blogland baby shower

Ah!!! I love this. I am smiling as I type because I just love that you photographed your adorable "5" page with that photo of us. Carrie had an idea that we should have photographed our pages with a baby photo of ourselves, but that was after I'd already put the initial post up on my blog. :o)

Your 5 is just so perfect, as this is Cate's baby #5. Thanks so much for participating, Helena!

You are so right..I found my pages looked totally different without a photo. I like your solution. Bet Cate will too

That's a great idea to incorporate the number five - and I also agree about pages having a photo ... it was a good one to include for the purpose of today's post!

Oh what a really lovely idea of Deb's. Your page is gorgeous! It will be such a wonderful gift for Cate.

That's very pretty, that combination of colours, and I love your little contrasting brads. Such a sweet gift!
