And then the template! I had waaaay too much fun playing around on Shutterfly's website. Initially, I had wanted to do a multiple photo template, but after sorting through different images, I found myself drawn to the simplicity and cleanness of a single photo more. And then the foil is always the perfect touch to finish off any of their cards! You can find the specific design I used here. After personalizing the announcement, I added our return address to the envelope to make life easier on me. Love that option as well!
I simply love how it came together. I added a little silver glitter washi tape to the back of the envelopes which tied in the silver foil perfectly. I wish I could have sent an announcement to literally everyone I know, but unfortunately I can only lick so many envelopes! And because it's always hard to choose just one photo, here's a few that I still love but that didn't make the cut!

Eeee!! These turned out beautifully!! I usually like multiple pictures too but for babies the single focus is perfection. S-t-i-l-l narrowing down a layout myself, its hard when theres so many great ones on Shutterfly!
