Monkey Baby Shower

Here are the final pictures of the monkey themed baby shower.

Cupcakes, Gift Bag, and Monkey Decor:

 We used paper lanterns sitting on the buffet for decorations, and we scattered some of the extra rubber duckies around:
 
And no party is complete without a chocolate fountain with all the fixins:

Baby Brody Gift Bag

In addition to the main gift my mom and I gave her for the shower, I decided she needed some help starting off her scrapbook for Mr. Brody. I gave her some scrapbook embellishments, and I make this gift bag to match the decor of the shower. I used a brown paper gift bag, scrapbook paper, 3-D embellishments, ribbon, and 3-D letters.

Monkey Cupcakes

To go along with the monkey theme of the baby shower from the past couple of days, I made some monkey cupcakes. The first couple of them didn't turn out how I hoped, but they got better with each one I did. I was happy with the end result.

Monkey Baby Shower Thank You Card Box

For the same baby shower as the Monkey Diaper Cake I made a box filled with thank you cards. I used simple stamps with colored pencils for the thank you cards. I bought the box from the unfinished craft wood section at Hobby Lobby. I didn't take before pictures, so I cannot show what it looked like before I decorated it. It looked like a wooden book, though. I stained it, then added a piece of cardstock to the top with the same stamp design as the thank you cards. I added a little ribbon and... voila!

Monkey Diaper Cake

To stick with the baby theme of yesterday, I decided to post a pic today of a diaper cake I made for a baby shower my mom and I had for a good friend. She was having a boy. She had specific colors for the nursery, but she was not going with a theme. When I looked for ribbons and accents in those colors, I kept finding these cute monkeys. I ended up deciding to take the monkey idea and run with it. Here is the diaper cake I made her as the centerpiece. (I'll post more pics of the baby shower over the next few days).
