K, so, three weeks or a month ago I saw a friend of mine who's pregnant and said I'd be willing to help out with her baby shower, make invitations or what-not. So last night at nine o'clock, this other girl (who's in charge of organizing my friend's shower) calls me up and asks if I'd still be willing to do shower invites. I say sure. THEN she says the shower will be on June 24 and she thinks the invites should go out by this weekend...all FIFTY of them. :shock: Fifty?? I have a day job!!!
So here's what I've come up with, this is the prototype. I'm not real thrilled with it but that might be a by-product of my not being thrilled with this other chick that waits until the last minute to ask if I can make fifty shower invitations. I'll have to do them in three different colors because I don't even have enough paper on hand. Anyway, enough of my life story, tell me what you think--are these ok? Should I commit to making fifty of them?
I watercolored the truck in Bashful Blue, the lady and the presents are colored in with markers, and that's a little umbrella from Weather or Not in the background. Think it's ok?

I think it's cute...just the right amount of work for 50, not too much and not too little. You don't want to kill yourself with too much detail over 50 cards =). That's alot of people for a shower!!!

I think this is a darling shower card. I can't imagine she wants you to do 50, let alone by this weekend. She must be another Martha Stewart. Or maybe she thinks you are.

I think this is darling! Just perfect. You're a good friend to agree to do these! Is there anyone who you could recruit to help you with some part of the project?

This is just darling! It's perfect for a baby shower. When I have to make 50 of something, short notice or not, I opt for the KISS Principle - Keep it simple, stupid!
