From grandmother to granddaugther

My mother cross stitched these for my daughter when she was born. My father framed them.

Dress-up baby

This is Mila's birth announcement which I designed more than 7 years ago. Corné took her picture the morning after she was born. She looks so fragile! Unfortunately I deleted the digital version, so all I'm left with are the printed cards. Nowadays it feels like something is missing when the digital version no longer excists. Times have changed!

Size doesn't matter

All of the cards above a quite small. The two together are the birth announcements of both my brothers (dating back to '61 and '62). The other one is probably a bit older. It was my grandfather's business card. He was a police-inspector.

birth announcement

Birth announcements have come a long way! This one looks so formal, nowadays the cards are much more joyful.

4 years ago

Lewis was born on 13th of August, 4 years ago. I designed this birth announcement and used a collage which I had made a few years before.
