Shower Her With Love from Shutterfly.
My sweet friend Erica is pregnant with her third baby, a sweet boy will be here in October! You may remember her from this post a few days back. I had the best time shooting her maternity pics! I wanted to do something special for her, this being her third baby she's already got a ton of baby things and doesn't need a whole lot more.
I feel like no matter how many children you already have being pregnant and having another baby is to be celebrated! Moms should feel special during this season of life no matter how many children they already have. I wanted to create some special things for her to remember this time in her life, with the help of Shutterfly I was able to do just that!
I want to share with you some of the amazing gifts I created for my friend, I hope they inspire you to think outside the box when gift giving and celebrate some mamas in your life!
Every mama needs a stash of stationary cards ready to go when they come home from the hospital. A few thank you notes already on hand can make like a whole lots easier, especially when someone drops by a meal for you. You can quickly write them a note and have it there to give them when they come over!
Shutterfly has many pre designed notes to choose from, and make it even more special and add matching address labels like I did below. I choose these Dashing Denote ones, perfect for a little boy!
As I mentioned my friend Erica already has two children; a girl and a boy! I didn't want to forget them in this process, sometimes siblings often get overlooked during baby hoopla so I wanted to make them some special gifts they could use to help keep them busy while they are sitting in the hospital with Mom and Dad.
I made them each their own notebooks and gifted them with some crayons. They can color or draw keeping themselves occupied at home or at the hospital. I chose this notebook from Shutterfly and customized them with their names and the phrases "Big Sister" & "Big Brother."

These brothers are going to be sharing a room together, a nautical themed room! I love anything nautical I almost decorated my son's room this way. Since these boys will be sharing a room I thought it would be so perfect for them to have their own name plates over their bed and crib.
Using an 8x10 canvas I designed these custom images and placed them on canvas. Shutterfly makes beautiful and thick canvas. The color and imaged quality are amazing, and the canvas frames are nice and sturdy. You can either choose to have them framed or as shown below with out the frames.
Lastly, I wanted to use one of the photos from her maternity shoot and put it on a beautiful canvas. Everyone should do something beautiful with their images. Don't just let them sit on a CD or in albums. Display them in a beautiful way, it's such an amazing season of life to be celebrated.
Shutterfly has an amazing range of gifts and home decor items, there's no limit to what you can make out of your photos and how you can choose to display your memories!
Next time you've got a baby shower to attend or a gift to give a lucky mama in your life make it something really personalized with some of these fun ideas. I loved gifting these items to my friend, she loved them and it made for a really fun way to celebrate her and her brand new baby boy!
