At the end of July, we celebrated our daughter's Baptism. It was a very special day for us. Here's a lengthy post that contains some of the sweet little details...
Her precious little raw silk dress:

The Invitation:
(Personal Information has been blurred out)
Invitation Supplies:
Cricut New Testament cartridge (cross feature on pg. 51 cut @ 5')
Stampin Up! cardstock in Pink Pirouette
Stampin Up! Grosgrain Ribbon in Pink Pirouette
Recollections Pearl Embellishments
Fonts used: Calibri and LainieDaySH
*Useful Tip* For the ribbon effect on the invitation, I did not run the ribbon behind the layered cardstock. I trimmed it using my Imaginisce Imagicut ribbon tool. Invest in it - it's worth it. I wasn't too good at using the lighter to seal my ribbon.
The Banner:
To make the areas where I hung the banner look neat and clean, I created two giant flowers, they were so beautiful!
Banner Supplies:
Cricut Pretty Pennants cartridge
Cricut New Testament cartridge
Cricut Storybook cartridge
Cricut Giant Flowers cartridge

The Program (A Mini Keepsake Book):
I really wanted to create a special keepsake program of Sofia's special day. Inside I put approximately 15 photos of her professional newborn shots and in between the pictures I placed quotes about children from the bible and some prayers.

Favour's - Handmade Rosaries:
In addition to the framed photos that we provided each guest, I handmade rosaries (I used to make these during recess at school when I was a little girl - it was very sentimental for me) and placed them with a prayer card. I used a prayer that my husband and I say with Sofia each night before she goes to sleep. I placed these in a clear pillow box for a nice clean look and kept the fonts consistent as well as the cardstock.

Bling Pacifier:
Sofia had to have a princess pacifier on her special day! I took a pacifier and blinged it to the nines with Swarovski Crystals using my Imaginisce I-Rock. I then attached it with white satin ribbon and adhered it with a pearl rhinestone embellishment using a hot glue gun.
Here's a shot of the framed professional photos of Sofia that we handed out to each guest:
The tag that was attached to the photos. I love this poem!
A simple flower arrangement I made and spruced up by adding ribbon and a rhinestone embellishment.
For the dessert table, I made chocolate covered strawberries.
My sister and I made Hello Kitty Cake Pops :)
Old fashioned Italian cake. Not the prettiest, but I can guarantee you - it was the tastiest!
Hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks for looking - I hope that it provided you with some inspiration!
