It's a {WHALE} of a tale :baby shower:

Hi Crafters,
The new challenge for Cut it Up! is something wet. It can either wet all the time or can get wet.

This challenge fit perfectly with the baby shower I hosted a few weeks ago for a co-worker.  This was the first girl baby shower I've thrown in over 3 years (since my niece was born)! The nursery is a beach theme with whales and surf boards.

I used the cuttlebug on her card. I used the 2.5x2.5 mini baby folders on each strip of paper.  

I made a variation of this invite for her shower.  I ended up not doing the double layer and only using the light aqua color for the whale.  I embossed the background purple piece with the cuttlebug.

This is the name canvas I created for her gift.  The surfboard and whale are both from Life's a Beach the lettering is from Songbird (script) and Opposites Attract (up right).  I used a 12x24 paper from K&Company for the surfboard and accents.  The whale is embossed with the cuttle bug.  I stitched around the outside of the surfboard with my sewing machine with green thread.

The banner pennants came from Birthday Bash and the font is from Life's a Beach. 

I hung whales from the loft and chandelier with fishing line (one of my craft room must haves).

Thanks for stopping by make sure to stop by Cut it up! to link up your project of something wet.

Happy crafting,
