This “Simply Loved Frame” is a project that is very dear to my heart. As a professional designer, I create projects for other companies all the time but every once in a while I create a project that is special to me. This is one of those projects~

When I first saw these adorable stamps and this beautiful frame from Hampton Art, I knew right away that they would make a perfect birth announcement. Even though my youngest grandchild is now seven years old I still wanted to create this frame for my daughter and when I saw my daughter’s response to it, I knew I made the right decision. Let me show you how to create this frame for someone you love~
