Savannah birth announcement

So trying to be a good Grandma, I started making a counted cross stitch birth announcement for Savannah. I made these for my children when they were born and it seemed a nice thing to do. I quickly discovered that I did those a long, long time ago and it is no longer my "thing". I was left with the choice of doing the cross stitch, which would have taken seemingly forever or coming up with an alternative, since I already told my daughter I'd make a birth sampler. I decided that using the skills I already have was a better choice and wanted to make a photographic sampler. I made one, but wasn't quite thrilled with it so I contacted another photographer extraordinaire (who is my nephew's wife) and sent her some pictures and let her create. Below is the result, which is perfect. You should check out her work or even contact her for similar projects at www.BluePrintsPhotography.com She's located in the greater Denver area, but if you're not, email and shipping work great!
