announcement keepsake

I designed birth announcements for each of my children when they were born. I love seeing them framed with a newborn picture in each of their rooms instead of being tucked away in an album. These frames from Pottery Barn are perfect for displaying an announcement with a photo. My mom has these for all of her grandchildren and has hung them together on a wall. I'm also thinking of using these to display a favorite birthday party invitation with a picture of my child at that age. It would be nice to have a collection of these to remember and showcase special occasions and milestones.

What a cute idea! The frame fits the combo of the announcement and photo perfectly...like it was made for that very purpose.

Thanks for sharing this great idea. :)

We do the same thing for my mom with all of the grandkids' birth announcements and photos. It makes such a nice keepsake.

I love this idea!! I wish I had been reading all the blogs before I had my son that I read now. I would have had so many cute ideas. We didn't send out announcements 15 months ago but I'm going to make one now! Just for my own personal pleasure :) We just sent out early Christmas cards since the little guy was born in November.
