Custom Baby Announcement :: Elsie Kate

We attempted to take some pictures of Elsie when she was just a few weeks old. We tried in the morning, but didn't have much luck. Then we tried that evening and ended up with some cute shots. My sister in law Shelly made her headband and I used that for inspiration for the baby announcement. I thought it would be cute to do a sort of patchwork look based on the fabrics of the headband. I also printed the pictures with a mustard yellow border. We put the pic behind the card and the yellow poked out from behind. Then I tied the pic and card together with some green and white baker's twine. I was so pleased with the way they turned out. I need to take a pic of the finished product. Until then here are the images.

caldrea for target

I was at Target last week, and saw that Caldrea now has a line for Target (only in stores). The packaging is simple and pretty and the smells are the same. My favorite was the olive oil. The line consisted of candles, dish soap, hand soap and counter spray. I love that now all of the scents in my kitchen coordinate. Oh and the candle smells like heaven.
