This feels like a big milestone: but now that Sophie is fully mobile, we’re finally ready to get a growth chart! I always knew that I wanted something that we’d be able to take with us if we move, so I’m leaning towards a wooden growth chart that we can hang on the wall. Here are a few options that I currently have my eye on!

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you’re somewhere warmer than DC – it’s only the end of January and this is the coldest winter I’ve experienced since moving here more than 10 years ago! We’re supposed to have a couple of nice days this weekend, which I’m looking forward to enjoying before I head up to New York for NYNOW on Monday. Next week: reports from NYNOW! But in the meantime…

These adorable birth announcements come to us all the way from Hungary! Designer and printer Judit from Confettini created these vibrant announcements for a darling baby girl born back in September. Judit used the split fountain technique to infuse these announcements with lots of bright color, then paired the announcements with hot pink envelopes and handmade confetti. Such a wonderful way to celebrate a new arrival!
From Judit: Lili Emma was born on a sunny Thursday morning. This girl is a little ray of sunshine in her family. We made this letterpress printed, hand lettered baby announcement for her.
For the first time we used a special inking technique called a split fountain – or rainbow roll. The process was really exciting. I love this ombre result and I think it looks really good on this paper. We paired the announcement with a lovely fuchsia envelope filled with custom coloured confetti. I hope this card will be a great memory for the family and for Lili for many years to come.
Thanks Judit!

These gold foil baby shower invitations are so much fun for a mama-to-be fashionista! Nicole from Umama drew inspiration from mama Natalie’s plans to include lots of zebras in the nursery. To glam things up, Nicole incorporated gold foil and a sparkly gold envelope liner. So fun!
From Nicole:Â For this invitation, we wanted to celebrate Baby Sofia: the little fashionista in the making! From the start, mommy-to-be Natalie wanted a palette of gold, blush, black and white… and glitter of course! Girly and chic from a mom who is just that!
Natalie shared some inspiration from her nursery Pinterest board, and I knew we had to include zebras. They were everywhere on the board. To glam up the traditional zebra, we went gilded.
The insert cards were on a pearl blush paper, and both pieces were enclosed in a black envelope with a glittery gold envelope liner and wrap-around label. From the outside chic, from the inside, the soft girly touches!
Thanks Nicole!

Happy Friday everyone! And greetings from Alt Summit! It has been so fun to connect with old friends and meet new ones over the last couple of days! Between a long weekend, two snow days in DC, and traveling to Salt Lake City, this week has been a complete whirlwind. Today is the second and final day of Alt, and tomorrow I fly home to my little family in DC. I’ve missed them so much! But in the meantime…
