Oh Baby!

Hello crafters!
A couple of weeks ago a few special babies were brought into the world. I couldn't post until now as I have only just had the joy of meeting some of them.  Rosina & Teddy were born on Friday 20th March 2015. They have a big brother Archie who is 3 and a half (the half is very important!) and is doing a great job at looking out for his new brother and sister.

I had an idea what I wanted to make them for a while and had started with Archie's picture. He love's football (as does his dad!) and so I wanted to incorporate this into his picture. For Rosina & Teddy I wanted theirs to be personalised so had to wait for the announcement of names to complete the finishing touch (you will see why).

So enough talking, here's what I made with resources under each picture:

Here's a picture of all three together.


To go with their pictures I made a card using the colour challenge from Fab Friday
The colours couldn't be more perfect for a baby boy and girl!


And I used the Retro Sketches layout.


Every celebration deserves some banners and this was perfect for the occasion!

So here is what I came up with:



You may notice I have used a retired stamp set. I have been holding onto this set as it covers lots of lovely birth occasions including adoption and twins. I'm glad I kept hold of it now! I also whipped out some additional colours that are in the Lullaby DSP to bring the card together.
So here's what I used:

  3. The personalized frames are a wonderful gift for the new babies! I agree that our colors couldn't be more perfect! The letters on the little onesies are a great idea. Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
