my loves

i thought it would be fitting to start my paperlily blog with one of the most important pieces i've ever designed : my babies' birth announcement.  because they are 14 months old, the announcement itself is not exactly in prime condition to be photographed.  and i'm still an amateur photographer.  so i mocked up an example of what it looked like.  i'm pretty non-traditional when it comes to blue = boys and pink = girls, but i still wanted it to seem like it was obviously a boys' announcement.  with paper source products, i used a moss gate-fold invite, backed the picture with their midnight blue, printed a quote/their birth info on the sides, and sealed it with a curry round sticker stamped with an owl.  i loved then how they turned out, and love even more that i still think it's pretty sweet.
