Birth Announcements

So yesterday when I posted that I was designing a Baby announcement as my status on my facebook page I got like a dozen comments congratulating me on getting pregnant...of course I'm not expecting which leaves me to wonder, who designs a birth announcement before they have a baby and why would people who had just seen me think I might be pregnant? Interesting.

So here are the other two birth announcements I designed. My friend didn't choose any of the
three, we used one of the photos and designed something completely different this afternoon. I'm not going to post it here until after she sends them out so that those of you that know Jen will be surprised. I like all three and I need your help deciding which is the best. Leave me a comment to let me know. It's so hard to decide which one I want to use to impress new clients :) I need to update the cards and gifts section of my website with some cards other than christmas cards and I think birth announcements will be good but I don't think I want to put them all in there. Anyone who knows me knows that I am the absolute worst editor of my own work. I always choose too many so help me narrow it down if you can. Thanks!

Birth Announcements

Do you remember the photos I took about 6 weeks ago for my friend who had a baby? Well I've been playing around with designing an announcement from the photos. I thought I would share it with you because I'm proud of it and I'd like to design more cards for people so I need some examples to show. I've done quite a few Christmas Cards but this is my first attempt at a birth announcement. I think it's really sweet. I changed my photo to black and white and popped the contrast a little then I used the may challenge freebie kit from Piggy Scraps Designs for the background paper and the frame. I also used a ribbon created by Vicki Parker from her Pink Coffee Cream kit. The Font I used is Geneva. I created several different cards but I'll save the others to post anther day. Enjoy!
