Spellbinders meets Baby Shower Decor!

Hello!  Praying you had a Christmas Holiday filled with love and laughter!  We are savoring our precious memories for sure!  It has been packed full of activities and now most of us are sick!  The icky, yucky, coughing fits kind of sick, not fun!  

So I've been trying to make productive use of this sick time and clean up computer files. Consequently, I've come across several "items" I have not shared yet! This being one of them!  When I assisted our youngest daughter give a baby shower for her sister, I made this handy decorative tray of sorts! I found this 12" decorative round at Michaels and had one of those Aha moments!  I love moments like those! I knew this 12" would sit atop my pedestal cake stand perfectly!  Michaels carries these sturdy corrugated cardboard beauties in various sizes and colors too!

Wanting to add some "pink" color to the mix, I thought a nice border would work! That's where my Spellbinders die came into the picture!  The die I used is a Grand Big Scalloped Border.  I just checked Spellbinders online store and it appears it's not in the store any longer, but there are even more available that would look fabulous for a creation such as this! HERE is the link! 

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store has this Spellbinders Border Die set, HERE that would work perfectly and it's on sale! Browse through the entire Spellbinders section and you might find many borders along with other dies HERE.  I attached my die cut border to the round with 1/4" Scor Tape, then attached the black 1/8" silk ribbon found HERE with the 1/8" size Scor Tape!  All Scor Tape is HERE!  We ended up sitting the diaper cake on this pedestal!  I hope I can find that pic too!  When I took the bordered round off the glass pedestal, I turned it over and to my surprise, it could easily be used as a tray!  The rounds are printed on both sides!  Wouldn't that make a wonderful presentation for baked goods and the die cut border keeps the goodies from falling off?  Oh yes, Aha Moments, and the possibilities are endless!

SEE YOU SOON, I'VE FOUND many OTHER ITEMS TO SHARE!  TAKE GOOD CARE AND MAY THE LAST FEW DAYS OF 2012 BE ONES OF JOY FOR YOU!
