Need some ideas (please) for a birth announcement...

[Lachesis00]

We had our second son (a surprise!) May 25th. I want to make his birth announcements. I would eventually print them at Costco (unless you have a better idea-- it can't be printed at home) as my printer was blown out (long story) when we were in the hospital.
I use Lumapix (basically a digital scrap booking program) a bit. I love the program... really easy to use but where to get fun do-dads like back grounds, I am not sure. I know I do not LOVE the background on here, but it is what came with the program. I *think* they are just a jpg format.

What might you change, add or delete? Photos could change, but these are my favorite ones of of lately. I look forward to hearing ideas. I have used this program for years but never anything fancy dancy.

In the original I have his full name plus where he was born which I will add back in.

I like it the way it is too. If I changed anything it would be the sleeping baby picture. I would turn it so the right top corner was down a bit more and layer the top left corner on top of the pic on the left instead of under it.

He is soooo cute!! I love boys, we have 3.

i am a terrible at spelling, but should it be announcing?
sorry, but i have to double and triple check stuff like this, because i am so bad at it.

and by the way, he is just adorable! nothing like a baby boy i say. i just love mine and he's 5!

all the very best to you and your new family!!!!

How cute are these?? See I would love to learn how to do at least do a boarder or something on mine.

I am cracking up... on 4 boards, only 2 caught the spelling error. Can I blame it on being tired? :D I knew something was wrong... I just couldn't SEE it. :rotfl2:

I wish I could SEE stuff like you have. These are awesome!!
