happy day

today is my incredible dad's birthday. he is everything and more the kids and i could ask for in a papa and dad. we are truly blessed and oh so lucky! here are just a few reasons... he loves to take his grandkids for rides on the 4 wheeler, tractor, and wave runners... he loves for his grandkids to help him fix a tire or put something together... he loves to hold his grandkids and take naps with the babies... and sing, play, change diapers, babysit, snuggle, kiss, and just love us all so much. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD/PAPA!!!

Design Process

Remember this post? They are now complete and in the hands of the proud parents. Back in May, Shannon asked if Icould create birth announcements for her sweet baby girl, Aspen, due in September. She loved the below Hip Circles baby announcement and the Aspen wedding invitation. I took those options along with the pastel colors she choose and came up with the below options. After reviewing/changes, came these options We finalized a design and waited for her birth. Aspen was born in October and once a picture was sent, I filled in the info and printed them. Below is the final product.
