Showers, Showers, Showers!

After a loonnnggg (and rather unwilling) break from scrapbooking and projects...I have risen again and come back to the paper and gluing world!

My husband and I went to a family reunion about a month ago. There, we held a little celebration for all the ladies who either recently married into the family or who were expecting.
There were three showers! My sister-in-law is expecting as well as a cousin's wife (twins!) and another cousin just recently was married.
I had some pint size, clear paint cans so I figured I could decorate them and put a gift card in each of them.
This one is the twins' paint can (obviously because there are two babies!)

I used Fiskars clear baby themed stamps. I had to do some masking in order to get the two babies on there as well as the wording. I had also cut fine strips of paper and curled and crimped them to make filler for the can.

For the bride, I bought a cookie jar, added cake mix, vanilla, walnuts, a wooden spoon, and a cookie recipe. I took the cake mix out of its box and packaged it my own way (it wouldn't fit in the jar so I had to improvise). I also decorated the recipe card.
