Something you should know about me: My design-minded friends be damned, I use the heck out of some Microsoft Publisher.
It started with a welcome banner for my assistant, which evolved into a variety of banner types for every occasion: bridal showers, bachelorette parties, birthdays, baby showers (and births) ... even a welcome-home-dog-who-ran-away banner. I am the go-to girl for party decorations in our department, a title I take very seriously and may be featured on the next iteration of my resume.
But I digress, this post is about the Baby Alphabet Book project we did for Grace's shower. It was specifically requested by the DIY queen herself, Leslie, and I'm happy to make anyone's "job" easier by sharing the documents I already created. Of course, feel free to adapt these templates with font changes or sizes to fit your needs.
What You'll Need:
- Scrapbook (preferably not the 12x12 books, as that will be a challenge to print)
- Printer
- Microsoft Office Suite
- 26 Sheets White Paper (color copy paper is slightly thicker)
- Art Supplies: Markers, Crayons, Stickers, Stamps, etc.
- Scissors or Paper Cutter (I have one from scrapbooking)
- This Template
So easy, and stuff you already have (minus maybe the scrapbook, I used a pink 8x8 book from Michael's for this baby girl with a 40% off coupon). Just print the sheets, cut them to the size of your book, and let the guests expose their hidden talents. Make sure you ask all the artists to sign the back of their page so Mom can tell Baby who made each letter, and TA DA! you have a personal record of all the shower attendees that will be enjoyed by Mom and Baby alike.
