It's inspiration week on the blogger's challenge group! This week I wanted to make a name frame for my baby's nursery. I was inspired by the stars on the Pottery Barn Kids curtains that we hung in his room. If you click the link above, you'll see that the stars on the sheers are in gingham prints in certainly celery, so saffron and ballet blue.
So, for the baby's name frame I wanted to recreate these applique stars. I started by cutting out various sized stars with the cuttlebug 2x2 stars dies from white chipboard coasters. Then I smooshed each star on my whisper white craft ink pad to make them even whiter. After they were dry, I inked up the gingham print from the retired Stampin' Up! set Wonderful Weaves with craft ink and pressed each star onto the stamp. I made a bunch in all three colors so that I could pick and choose which sizes and colors to use when I was ready to make the frame.
For the frame itself, I stamped the baby's name in ballet blue craft ink onto whisper white card stock using the large monogram alphabet from A Muse. Then I simply glued some of the stars down around his name using mini glue dots. This is probably the most simple name frame I've made, but it is exactly what I wanted for his room. (Here's a link to all the other frames I've made over the years.)Sorry I didn't post a picture of the whole thing. We've decided not to post the baby's name on the internet so you'll have to be satisfied with just the first letter. ;)

How sweet is that Stefanie - I'm sure it looks great in the Baby's room.
Very nice!! The green gingham from pottery barn inspired meghan's room in my head.
Aren't you happy you found out which you're having? It makes decorating the room so much more personal!!! I can't wait to hear all the rest of the letters when your little cherub arrives! I don't blame you at all for wanting to keep something a surprise (we did too)...too many opinions is hard on the hormones! LOL
Just darling. I love the theme and it works just perfect on your frame. Love it.
What a special project! Love the stars.
This is just precious! Love the colors of his room...
OMG...too cute Stefanie! I love your theme, and your interpretation of the inspiration piece! Great job.

Happy Waiting!!!!
first....very nice project and i love what i can see of your little fella's room!
secondly...i would love to say...THANK YOU!!!! i feel like a major minority in my feelings about my daughter's name and picture on the internet. i have not and will not put her on my blog...i will mention her as my daughter but not by name and definitely not by picture...i am probably too cautious with her! when she was born, the hospital puts baby pictures online for out of town relatives to see...i was like...no way! can you believe i had to sign a form for her picture not to be put online?!?!?? oh well...enough of my ranting!
your blog is great and your nursery looks amazing! congrats on your tiny miracle!
