My youngest is almost 2 months old, and when I was preparing for her birth, I decided to do something different each month. With my oldest, I just did pictures - nothing special - on each month "birthday." With my second I used foam bathtub numbers. But, with this one, I decided to design a card each month with the correct number and place it in a frame. The frame will remain the same every month, but the card will coordinate with her outfit. I am then taking the cards and the best picture of the month and making an 8x8 layout. FOr Month 2, I had already chosen a pink and blue paper combination to go with her pink outfit she will wear. When I saw the color challenge with pink, blue, and green, I thought the added green woudl work perfectly!
So, here is the card int he frame (in the chair she will be in for most if not all of the pictures:
And here is the page (minus the picture that will go in the white square):
I got the patterned papers from a friend, so I have no idea about the brand, etc. But, they are originally 8.5 x 11 papers. The green is DCWV textured card stock. The flower border on top is from Basic Grey. I also used buttons and brads from random brands and Studio G (Hampton Arts) ink. I hope you like it!
