ten tiny fingers, ten perfect toes

the other day, i realized i never showed you baby brother's announcement. well, he's 5 months old today, so better late than never, huh? i wanted to design something unique, because i felt like i was in a same size card rut. and unless someone comes to me with an outrageous idea, it's usually the fam who gets forced into 'outside-the-box' designs.

i had an idea about pictures of fingers, toes, and his nose to rhyme, but i was stuck on how to piece it together. so, i made creative writer middle sissy put on her thinking cap, and looky here...

we took all the pictures while i was there for bb's birth. middle sissy wanted the announcement to have an autumn feel, so we grabbed a brown and turquoise blanket of sweet p's and the colors were born.

during my sip and see entertaining prep, i unearthed an amazing bowl that was once my nana's gathering dust high upon the kitchen cabinets. lo and behold, the colors were perfect and it would hold a newborn nicely.

working quickly to try to avoid tinkle mishaps (unsuccessfully), we set munchkin atop the farmer's antique pie case, under their cross collection, and man, do i ever love the shots we got.

of course, sweet p needed in on the action. so, we attempted to deck her out in matching colors, and get her to hold bb for longer than 3 seconds! such a good big sissy! 

c'mon, let's get out of the same size card rut. the possibilities are endless! and, professional photos aren't even necessary - if you can stage your own, why not?

have a baby to announce? let's chat.

Whatcha Workin' On?

You're probably wondering, "So, what's she working on?" So, I thought I'd answer that question for you (even if you're not wondering that).

Since being laid off, I've been doing alot of "cleaning" the house (don't confirm that with mr. man, cause he might not agree!), working on this here blog and the website (link's over there...to the right...), and doing some design work.

I finished up announcements for baby Cade. Isn't he adorable? So sweet, too!

And, I'm working on announcements for baby Rylan. Now I'm probably being biased here, cause he's the BF's kiddo, but isn't he the friggin' cutest thing you've ever seen? Those eyes! Love this kid to bits, I tell ya! Now if his mama'd only make up her mind which announcement she wants...

And, in the middle of all that, (I know, who'm I kidding?) I found time to walk 60 miles for breast cancer! My teammates & I, Pay It Forward, were the little engines that could - "I think I can" was heard, more than once! Phew, lots of blisters and muscle aches, but that cause is so worthy!

So, what can I work on for you?

All Systems Go

Who knew it took so long to create a website? Well, maybe it's easier for other folks. Folks who don't change their logo 450 times, the front page of their site 4,000 times, and folks who don't resize their images 9 million times. Yea, maybe it's easier for them.

But, I digress - it's here. I'm so excited to announce it! Rosita Designs is alive!!!

I cannot wait to get started and begin creating designs. I'm sure any time now, I'll receive the first email to go full steam ahead. Yep, any...time...now...

Hello? Is this thing on?

Oh well - here she is:
