Hi guys! Your ideas sound great! I went to my LSS today and had success!! One of the idea books they had included bookmarks. I decided I wanted to make these b/c I like to be different ... also, alot of time people may just throw away cards ... maybe if it is a bookmark, they may actually use it? (Or maybe I am just wishful thinking!)
Anyway ... I bought the tags that are BIG ... 6 inches by 3 inches ... then I got blue paper with baby words printed on it ... I tore the paper so that the bottom half is covered but it has a diagonal tear ... Then, I embossed some blue cardstock (pain in the tuckus b/c you can't see through it) with the block letters to look like ABC's ... then, I tore the edges around each letter and laid them on one side in a row ... then, the nice LSS lady (I am friends with her) helped me make the words on vellum on her computer using DISNEY font
to say: dorable and aby and onnor. Sooooooooooooooooo, when we attached the vellum the front of the tag says:
A (block letters torn around edges) dorable (on vellum)
B aby
C onnor
(Baby's name is Connor)
Kinda like ABC"s ... then I bought some charms to add to the ribbon I am going to put in the whole at the top of the tag ... you know like a real bookmark!
On the back, I will make vellum stickers after the baby is born with the statistics and a nice poem.
Ok, I promise it looks MUCH better than it sounds here. LOL! I wish I had a digital camera to post a pic of it!!!
I just had to share this idea! Thanks bunches for listening!
