Letters by Me!

One of my favorite pasttimes is to create "letters" for my friends' children.  It all began last summer when my niece was born and I decided to scrapbook letters to spell her first name.  Then, a good friend was having a baby and as a baby shower/baby arrival gift, I scrapbooked letters for her daughter's first name.  They became sooo popular, that I am now making letters for many of my colleagues and friends!  They have turned out really well, so I thought I'd share!

So far, I have done only letters for girls and my inspiration comes from their bedrooms...I ask my clients for pictures of the bedrooms and draw my ideas from those.  I created the following pictures within the past couple of months for 2 sisters under the age of 5 and a baby born in the spring!

Ella's room was full of bold colors with polka dots and stripes, so here's what I created.   


Emma's room was filled with pastels and whimsical designs, so here's my creation:




I also completed letters for a colleague who had a baby this past spring.  The baby's crib decor is filled with many colors, so I created these letters for baby Sloan!






 And here's the final product above Sloan's crib!
