After the busyness of the fall, it’s nice to have the quieter time of winter to plan and prepare for the new year. And I’m not complaining that some of it involves shopping : ). I’ve got lots of new hats on order, some new wraps and props, and I’ve even got the sewing machine out to make something fun that I can’t wait to try! One of these days I’ll have to do an Etsy post again and update some of my favorite headband and hat makers to enable your shopping, too. For now, I’m showcasing some of the new birth announcements I’m including in the new catalog. I’m keeping a few old favorites, but there are lots of beautiful new announcements to choose from. The catalog will be up soon, but until it is, here’s a sneak peek.

One of the popular new birth announcement design trends is to have large images- what better way to show off your new baby?

another popular trend is to combine interesting typefaces as a design element-

some flowery and just plain pretty ones-

and since it’s often hard to choose just one image for an announcement, I made sure to find plenty that had multiple openings for images-

I can’t wait to start customizing these for new babies and to see them in print!
