    Sorry, no photos on this computer. Do you know anyone with a machine for cutting shapes and letters? It was super easy to just cut the circles and letters out on my mom's machine and then we just glued them down. The letters were cut from a patterned paper and the circles were alternating with two colors that matched. We threaded ribbon to attach the circles together and to hang it. On the ends, we did an extra circle that had the owl that matched her party in it.

    I also made a month by month banner this way. Except I just hand-cut rectangles and used scrape book punches to make the corners fancy. Then put photos in them and letters to spell her age.

    I'm in the process of making mine so no pictures yet. But I went on etsy.com to get ideas and inspirations. Maybe try that. I agree with the above poster to try and find a machine that cuts out shapes and letters. I am borrowing the cricut from my work and it has made it pretty easy so far.

    This was my favorite project! I found foam sticker letters in the kids craft section at Michaels and used these to spell out newborn, one, two, etc which worked great and I thought looked perfect. The whole thing was just so much fun to do.

    im also doing them with corbins first year in photos too. but i just used picnik and wrote "one month" on the pic before i printed them.

    AND im doing pendants all over too with solid color triangles and patterned paper too mixed together.
