and grow, and grow! Several of my relatives and friends are having babies in the near future, so I have been thinking about baby gifts. I created a growth chart this month using paper from My Mind's Eye Bloom & Grow Collection. It went together really quickly, using the birds from the die cut sheet. I did trim a couple of smaller birds out of the patterned paper to add a little variety. The heads of the birds are popped up to add dimension (because I never make anything just flat!). I placed the die cut journaling block at the bottom - the perfect place to add a little personalization.
A great companion to this gift would be to create a matching scrapbook to chronicle the baby's growth for the first year - one page per month so that all the new mom has to do is to print a picture and put it in place - and beyond...to cover the first 10 years. Imagine pictures taken next to the growth chart every year to include in the scrapbook (not that I was ever that organized, but some people are!).
I am actually getting very excited about this idea and am going to have to plan a class - anybody interested?
Such a great gift. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGood Idea for a class you are so smart :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a stunner! I *wish* I had thought of something like this!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea Susie!
ReplyDeleteI like the gift idea Susie. This is ideal to have already made up for those shower gifts. The book and the grow chart make a colorful decoration for the baby's room. You are so clever to think of this idea.
ReplyDeleteYou are a rockstar! Love the idea!
ReplyDeleteToo Cute! You are SOOO creative, Susie-Q!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love gifts that are both beautiful and practical.
