I'm so excited I have a final idea from CknODaC on SCS who got her inspiration from several others. Thank God, because I was really beginning to struggle with coming up with something 'perfect' and I think this is it!!! Thanks everyone for the input! These are the rejects:
Here's the second idea I had (thanks to Melanie for the cb bg idea). I had to scrap the first because it was too 'girly' with my glitter bg paper (you can see it in my SCS gallery though). I used my Occasions mini 'In the Stars' set in Barely Banana on the bg. I like this card but not totally loving it.
Then I changed a few things here. I like the more colorful umbrella and the circle with 'baby shower' from PTI's Borders & Corners set (added an eyelet and now it sorta looks like a bib, huh?) I changed my yellow to So Saffron because I think Barely Banana is just too light for my taste. Because my focal image is so large, I didn't put a blue mat behind it so as not to cover up the stars on the bg piece. It says 'baby' twinkle twinkle little star do you know how loved you are? I also 'fixed' my hop mark thanks to Melanie too - I was doing it all wrong. After all, the artist should know *wink* oh I realize I have some of the rain drops wonky. I'd fix that once I start production. So here's where you come in - have any ideas for improvement? Which one do YOU like??! I need to get started on these right away and come up with matching favors, thank you cards & announcements. I just am not feeling any other ideas and need to know if one of these would pass. Ugh...I think the past 2 days I didn't stamp because I wanted/needed a break made me lose my mojo! 
Edited to add: card with Shannan's suggestions (basic gray matting on focal image & ribbon instead of the blue strip) - I like it!!!Thanks!

I DIG THE TOP ONE!! ;)
I like the 2nd one, go figure! I would sub ribbon for the blue strip (cause you know how I love ribbon...), and I would mat the focal image with black (or basic gray for a softer look). But you know how I overdo things!! LOL For mass production, I think it's fabulous as it is!
Oh...well, they are BOTH just wonderful!! But the second one is calling out to me too!! Yes, I MUST need sleep when the cards start talkin' to me!!! LOL I really love the way that eyelet does make the sentiment look like a bib!! And definitely I love the more colorful umbrella!!
I like all three of them - but I especially like the first one and maybe change the sentiment out with the
"baby shower" tag on it - I love that tag with the eyelet - too cute!!
I like the 2nd one best, except I think the green Cuttlebug piece is too bright of a green. It seems to overpower both So Saffron and Barely Banana. Still - it's a great looking card.
I would go with No. 1...It feels more baby to me. I have to agree though to maybe change out the tag with the baby shower/eyelet tag! good luck, no matter which one you choose, you can't go wrong! Great job!
Well I'm certainly no expert and it looks like we haven't been much help here, but I loooove ribbon too so I have to go with the third one and say that they are all adorable and any one would be perfect!! Love the circle tag too!!
Not sure that I can help...I think they are all cute! I'm so sorry..but they are! I can't wait to see what you decide! TFS :)
How very sweet! LOVE that frog!
Sorry...I can't really choose. They're all just so darn cute, Donna!! Your coloring looks wonderful too!
Wow, it sure was an awesome suggestion this is so cute I absolutely love the little pocket!!
They all look great, but I love the top one!
Hugs and smiles
