Birth Announcement

Now that most of the birth announcements have been sent out (I still have a stack here needing to be sent along), I thought I would share Ellie Bean's here. 


I don't do a lot of digital type stuff, but I am finding myself doing it more and more. This was Jackson's birth announcement (I was too lazy to scan it, so I took a picture of it in his baby book)

Both of these digital layouts weren't completely original, but we were inspired and tweaked and played until we got our own results. 


And to be fair, here was Jaden's birth announcement. This was when I was a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, and while I still enjoy paper crafts, I remember this being a LOT of work! (We added a picture in the envelope when we sent them out)

It was a "waterfall" card, so you pull the tab open and its three steps...

front

second step

final step ( it has gotten a bit mucked up over the past few years of little guys looking at it)


Just thought I'd share :)
