Ladybug's official announcement

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.



So far we haven't heard anyone call her by her first name who has received the announcement, so we must have conveyed this successfully!

  1. 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.
