31 Days of Crafting - Day Thirty-One - Grand Finale - Baby Shower Diaper Cake

I made it, the last day of my month of crafting projects!  I set off to achieve this every year but never quite hit thirty-one projects, so this year is special for me!  And it's an even bigger deal 'cause in thirty-one days, I made thirty-nine projects!

This is it, the gift that goes with my baby shower tag and card.  And I have to admit that a diaper cake seemed soooo daunting at first, but in the end I am THRILLED with how it turned out!!

We started with a Princess theme and went from there.  I LOVE how the cake turned out!  It's soo cute in person!

There's tons of diapers here to help out the new mom-to-be!

The top tier is washcloths :D

And here's a photo of the gift all wrapped up!

I'm entering just a few applicable challenges with this project:

31 Days of Crafting - Day Thirty - Party Girl

31 Days of Crafting - Day Twenty-Eight - Wedding Day

(I'm watching a 90210 rerun as I watch this and laughing my ass off at the clothes they/we/I wore.  Hilariously bad.  Remember the wraparound plaid skirts with the pleats and the buckles?  What were we thinking?!?)

Anyways, I had a commissioned wedding card recently, and I thought this would just be perfect.  It's subtle and classy but also unique.  It also fit the bill for an in-between size--it's a 4x6.

I'm entering a few challenges:

• Creatalicious - #73 Anything Goes
• Country View Challenges - Anything Goes
• Imagination Destination - #26 Anything Goes
• Sister Act Card Challenge - #99 Anything Goes
