Today I hosted a Baby Shower for a friend of mine from a MOMS group I belong to. As soon as I heard that her theme was Noah's Ark I knew exactly what I wanted to use for her decorations- Fox and Friends!
This was kind of a short notice shower so I didn't have time to do too many things, but wanted to add a few touches with Fox and Friends throughout the house.
The project above is a gift I made for her. It is a set of Thank You cards that she can give away. I remember when I had my two girls, boy did I go through Thank You cards! The matching box was easy to make and only took one sheet 1 sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock. I put 8 cards and 8 envelopes in the box. It was a tight fit, but I was determined to fit 8. If you create a box set like this I would recommend 6. I will post those instructions in a future post.
Here is how to make these favors: Take one sheet of 8 1/2 by 11 Cardstock. On the short side, score at 2 - 4- 6 -8. Turn vertically and cut down the middle at 5 1/2. Then score each piece at 1 1/2. Fold, Cut and Decorate. It is super easy. Each 8 1/2 x 11 sheet makes two favors.
What do you think? In the end I was pleased with the last minute decorations I was able to do. I love this Fox and Friends set and think it makes cute decorations for showers and birthday partys.
Feel free to leave a comment.

Today was my sister in law's baby shower. We had a great turnout and she received lots of nice gifts. We had a great day. Here are some of the items I made for her shower. Above is the favor that I made using the Nursery Necessities stamp set (it matched her invitations).
Lastly, above are the runner up favors that I created. I made lots of baby shower favors before I decided on the candles. These two came in close in 2nd place. I especially love the Thanks chocolate box. The colors I used for these projects were Pretty in Pink and Chocolate Chip.
