Baby Announcement--CC please?

[sinead]

The super cool Heather Roselli put together this kit for me and I thought that maybe I'd get a jump start on the baby announcement so that it would be easy to do once the baby got here.

Here's my first stab at it...

Please share any constructive criticism! I want it to be pretty. :regular_s

I think it looks great! Do you have any little blossoms you can add?

[sinead]

hmm...that's a good idea! Thanks, Val!

[Heather_R]

I love it, but I am partial to asymmetry...maybe add flowers like Val suggested or maybe one of the woven tags I made for the kit? Angled, overlapping the photo a little bit?

hey sinead! how about lowering the pic a bit so it overlaps the light pink rectangle? just an idea to make it look more 'custom' kwim? it's really prettY! and how sweet of heather!! :D

I think its really cute & girly, but maybe needs a little embellishment, like maybe some baby footprints or something else baby. Also I thought I'd share the wording we used on Kelsie's announcements, since I know Maggie is getting a baby sister like Kaylie was. I found this wording in one of those fancy birth announcement order books & just loved it!





A new baby sister as cute as can be,


I’ll be the best big sister ever, just wait and see!

You girls are giving me great ideas!!! Thanks so much! I'll play with these ideas later on today. :regular_s

Ahh...just another reason why I love this place!

I think it looks great too, but I would add something like, "Welcome our" Baby Girl __________ Turner. That way it doesn't sound so generic. Only my thoughts though.

It's very pretty as it is. But I think flowers would help "girlify" it a bit. Maybe a row of tiny flowers on each side instead of the brads on the ribbon? Or maybe put a flowery overlay on the dark pink mat or the light pink rectangle? Something very subtle. Or a flowery border around the pic?

I'm with Heather about symmetry, I would give a little "twist" to it to make it less straight. Otherwise, it's great, could definitely inspire me for my friend's announcement!

i like incorporating the baby footprints idea - you could scan those in from the birth announcement and put them on a tag maybe?

the colors are so soft & sweet! i can't wait to see the finished product!
