Birth Announcements

Hi everyone, and a happy HOT Thursday to you all.

I've been having a play with Photoshop, and making my own embellishments over the last couple of days. I'm trying a few money making ideas out in readiness for when I enter my jobless phase after redundancy later on this month. I'm thinking if I can attend a few local fayres this summer, or maybe start up some craft classes, I can make my own money. I don't think it will be much, but might as well use my talents if I can, eh??

Anyway I made the sentiments in Photoshop, and layered them on to card, added a punched out flower and some pearly doodles and one thing led to another I thought I would use some of the toppers on sample birth announcement cards.

I have only used Bazzill and a few scraps of patterned paper. These cards are really tiny, e.g. 3" x 3" for the square ones, and 4" by 2.5" for the tall one. I've made some baby boy ones too, so maybe I'll do a few samples with them too. I actually love them, there would be room to add a small photo inside, and baby's weight etc.

Because of the small size, I thought you could use them for scrapbooking, gift tags, on gift boxes, and many other things too. I'm thinking of doing a kind of pick & mix thing. Mainly because I've bought things before, for one item, and never used the rest of the pack. I thought as people are on a tight budget these days, this idea might appeal...you only pay for what you want. What do you think of the idea???

I'm thinking of Save The Date cards too. I'd love to hear what you think.

Just thought I'd share a photo with you before I go....

Take care
