A New Baby

Happy Saturday evening peeps....I have been crazy busy trying to get this diaper cake made and been battling a cold. I guess more nursing the cold than anything. It seems like it just doesn't want to move on. BAH!!! My girlfriend and I went to a baby shower today for a co-worker and this is what I made for our gift. I kept the diaper cake simple and we ended up putting all of the gifts into a bag instead of loading down this. I really wanted the cake to shine instead of getting lost with all of the gifts loaded onto it....this is the second one I've made and I really loved how this one turned out....ENJOY!!!!!!

I know it's not a very good photo but I thought you'd like to see it anyways....I ended up using 90 baby diapers to make the 3 tiers....wrapped each one in a receiving blanket added 3 layers of ribbon premade bows and to hiide the tops of the diapers I used the bag filler stuff....the huge rhinestones is actually a plastic ring and I got those in the party section at Wal-Mart....I purchased everything here from Wal-Mart with the exception of the darker ribbon (Micheals)...oh and thoise darling little shoes I paid $1.75 for those...man was I doing the happy dance...lol...who needs expensive shoes when they are that young...lol... here's the matching card....I used an image from Mel-Jen Designs....I thought it was perfect for the musical giraffe on top of the cake....I also used tulle and the darker ribbon like I did on the cake to try and keep the desing the same....now I know this is a girl present, and I didn't realize that this was a boy giraffe, but hey, things like this happen when you get older...lol...you don't see as well....

here's the inside...crap photo again...just wanted to do a visual...I kept it very simple...

and here she is in all her glory....I just used clear celephane--2 strips and rolled and tucked and tied at the top......everyone loved it....
