52 Weeks of Mail: Week 22 | New Baby

Happy Sunday morning! I am back to share the outcome of my Week 22 mail inspiration.  As I mentioned earlier this week, we've had a few friends recently welcome new babies into the world.  I put together a few little packages to send their way.  This is the most recent one I sent to welcome baby Audrey.

Of course, a card is always required.  The card is embellished with a little paper kite I found at Michaels.  The brown kraft paper makes the kite and white greeting pop.  I used a white opaque pen to handwrite "Welcome Baby".  The inside is blank for a handwritten message.

The package also included new wall art for her nursery; a personalized birth announcement in a white frame.  I used an assortment of fonts to display her first and middle name, birth stats and heart graphics.  I have made several variations of these birth announcements in the past, but I have to say I am smitten with the font used for her name.  If you're curious, you can find it here.
