I don't just design things for other people, I do them for myself as well. Everything I design is something that I would want in my own house. And sometimes I'm inspired to add a new twist on one of my earlier designs, as in this case.
My important dates print is one of my most popular items. I love doing those for people because I get to see the evolution of a family--from just two people as it grows into more. I get a little mini history through the dates they give me.
I just had my third child in October. As I was getting ready to put away some of the mementos from our hospital stay, I had an idea. Instead of boxing everything up, why did I create a shadow box to show off all the keepsakes from all of my children? I got the shadow box from red envelope. I just used the items to cover up the picture holes.My sons each had shirts they wore at the hospital as well as their hospital bracelets and hats (can you tell that my youngest is a Halloween baby?) My daughter has her hat (she was born at a different hospital so hers is not as fancy), booties she wore, hospital bracelet and the little bow her daddy picked out for her to wear. I used straight pins to secure everything in place.
If you have an idea for your own important dates print, I can create it! Send me a convo on etsy or send me a message on the peabeedesigns facebook page!
