Beautiful Birth Announcement

Today I'm sharing my granddaughter Olivia's birth announcement.  I think it turned out so pretty and not only because Olivia is absolutely gorgeous:) LOL-gramma kudos for Olivia!  I used My Digital Studio (aka MDS) which is super easy to use and produces really nice photo projects like birth announcements and cards, scrapbook pages, calendars, and more.  The possibilities for customization are endless!

For this project, I used Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery for my color scheme.  I'm a sucker for pink and green anyway, and these colors just happen to complement Olivia's outfit and complexion.  I wanted to keep things pretty simple to stay with my goal of announcing Olivia's entry into our world vs. announcing what great projects I can make!  So I chose soft colors and just enough stamps and embellishments to enhance the beautiful photo of Olivia.  For the stamps, I chose the little elephants from the now retired Nursery Necessities.  I had used this same stamp set for Olivia's shower invitations, and I like to have a theme that I can use again and again.  So the little pink elephant was my recurring theme. 

We sent these out to lots of friends and family, and everyone loved them.  You can make wonderful projects like this with just a few clicks of a mouse.  My Digital Studio is your ticket!  Contact me today to learn more about MDS or just click here to see more, learn more, and even purchase your own My Digital Studio.  You will love it!

Baby Shower Favors

As most of you know, I'm a new grandma.  Baby Olivia is just over a week old, so I thought you might like to see the shower favors I made for her baby shower.  These cute little "sour cream containers" nicely housed a mini Reese's peanut butter cup, a Hershey's Miniature candy bar, and 2 Hershey Kisses.  Lots of chocolate treats for the guests!

These little sour cream containers were made with just 1/4 sheet of card stock each.  Of course, they are dressed up with the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel.  This is my new favorite stamping wheel as it can create lots of different looks.  It brings the perfect touch of delicate femininity to these favors.  The little yellow chick is from the Nursery Necessities stamp set and keeps the favor from becoming too formal.  We used soft green cloths and pink plates for a truly girly theme for Olivia's shower.  You, too, can make simple favors like this.  Call me at 210-492-3218 to schedule a free lesson!
