Today I went to the scrapbook and rubber stamp store here in town to peruse through the baby stuff they have on hand so I could work on designing our baby announcement cards.  Knowing how I can sometimes be a procrastinator about things, I knew I needed to get a jump start on this particular project or it might be likely the baby is turning 12 before I announce his/her birth.

I’m going to make them reasonably generic, but make it so that girl or boy embellishments can be added once we know that important detail. I think I’m going to make the front a mock picture frame that I can slip a photo in.  And I will probably use a photo taken of baby a couple of days after he/she enters the world since some of those hospital photos are so absolutely awful.  Some people’s baby’s hospital photos (mine included) look like horrid DMV photos.
