"Hungry" for a New Start

It's a new year, and for Uniquely Cropped, that means a new website! I've switched from a traditional site to a blog in hopes that it will be easier to update and allow me to share more photos and comments about current and upcoming projects.

First on the docket for 2012 are my niece's 1st birthday invitations. My sister-in-law picked the theme "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" based on the book by Eric Carle. So cute! I immediately got on Pinterest for some inspiration, and it worked! While they were visiting, we decided to use Julia's hand prints as the butterfly from the story. As messy as it was, it was worth it. Combined with some free clip art I found online, here's what I came up with:

The best part is, Julia's hand prints are actual size... So not only is this a cute invitation to her party, but a wonderful keepsake for her baby book!
