Baby Girl Subway Art

Our friends had their baby last week and we finally got to meet her this past Monday (she is precious!).  We bought baby girl a couple gifts while we were in Maine but I knew I also wanted to create something personalized for her and her parents.  I still love my wedding subway art in our room, so I decided to try making a baby girl themed piece.  It always takes me hours to find the perfect fonts and sizes for subway art, but I think it’s so worth it in the end.

Obviously I blurred out her middle and last names, but hopefully you get the idea :)  I went with lots of pink and some accents of green and brown to go with the color scheme of her bedroom.  The frame I picked actually has four 5x7 spots for photos.  I decided to put scrapbook paper into 2 empty spots for now so they can fill them with pictures eventually.  For the fourth spot, I made another art piece inspired by a quote.  Here’s the entire frame first:

And here’s the quote that inspired my art in the left top corner – I found it on Pinterest

This quote instantly made me tear up and I’m not even a mommy!  I knew I had to include this as part of my gift so I designed it using some of the same fonts and colors that were included in the subway art.  My favorite part is the hearts instead of the periods at the end of the sentences :)
