I just posted about this over at my LimoncelloSTYLE blog - but wanted to post it here so you all could see how the announcements for the Ladybug came out
-------
Ladybug was born on October 27, nine days ahead of schedule. She'll go by her middle name which was quite a challenge to announce. I finally decided to create a piece with her photo on the front and a small explanation on the inside of the meaning of her first and middle names. But I also didn't want to outright say she'd go by her middle name. Click on the photo's below to see how we managed to convey the information.
I used the most delicious paper from Envelopments for this announcement. The paper is two sided in cream and gray. I matched the typefaces to the gray of the cardstock and then used a tart-y pink layering piece for the photo on the front paired with a peach shimmer envelope.
I love this, great solution. And I ADORE the name Clarinda. Are you acquainted with the marvelous writing of Elizabeth Enright? If not, I would like to "hook you up" with a special book just for your little girl.
