Here it is! My second attempt at making a baby name frame. The first attempt came out super cute (it's pink and girlie and has sparkles...how could it not?) but I learned a lot and knew that the next time around, I would need to make adjustments and do things differently.
Main improvment? Paper choice. The first frame lacked color variety...it all matched but it matched too well. All of the squares just seemed to blend together. And making the letter squares all different colors (I feel) just made them look lost...they didn't stand out.
So this time...I found a cute paper pack at target that had a safari theme (some of Deegan's stuff has monkeys on it). It was perfect! I chose papers with varying colors and kept the patterns mostly simple. Also...making the letter squares uniform in colors really helps them stand out.
A couple little sticker embellishments and that was it!! What you can't really see in the picture is that a lot of the papers have glitter accents. Like the blue dots and the white leaves and the brown animals. The picture doesn't really do it justice.
I'm really happy with the way this turned out...hope his parents like it!!

This turned out fabulous!
