Of course with her arrival, we were very excited to share her and announce her birth to all of our friends and family near and far. Thanks to our wonderful friends at Tiny Prints we were able to do so with some beautiful custom <a href="http://www.tinyprints.com/baby-photo-birth-announcements.htm">birth announcements</a>.</p>
<p>When choosing the perfect birth announcement for Bean, I spent hours looking through them all and trying out different pictures until I finally went back to the first one I had &#8216;tried on&#8217; and decided this was the one!<br />
<a href="http://themegalomaniacmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/scan0002.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9683" title="Tiny Prints Birth Announcement" src="http://themegalomaniacmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/scan0002-300x296.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="296" align="left" /></a></p>
<p>Tiny Prints did such a wonderful job with these announcements and was even nice enough to adjust the coloring in the original photo to make sure we were getting a great print! We have grown to love Tiny Prints over the years and have used a variety of their products including holiday cards, day planners, <a href="http://www.tinyprints.com/thank-you-cards-notes.htm">thank you notes</a> and more and I&#8217;m already looking through <a href="http://www.tinyprints.com/baby-shower-invitations.htm">baby shower invites</a> for a close friends shower that will be happening in a few months!</p>
<p>Thank you Tiny Prints for once again for a job well done and for helping us share the news of the birth of our Little Bean!</p>

Last year, I custom designed photo cards. The year before that, I sent out standard greeting cards in which I signed everyone in the families name too. This year&#8230;..this year our holiday card will knock socks off!</p>
<p>Why is that?</p>
<p>Because this year, we had the chance to order ours from <a href="http://www.paperspring.com/">Paperspring</a>.</p>
<p>Paperspring offers fresh ideas on paper so you can capture, share and celebrate the important moments in life. Paperspring’s range of products includes photo birth announcements, baby shower invitations, holiday cards, greeting cards, thank you cards, birthday party invitations and personalized stationery. All of Paperspring&#8217;s matte cards are printed on 100% post-consumer waste recycled thick card stock.</p>
<p>Check it out for yourself!</p>
<p><a href="http://themegalomaniacmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Paperspring-Holiday-Card0001.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4295" title="Paperspring Holiday Card0001" src="http://themegalomaniacmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Paperspring-Holiday-Card0001-300x213.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="213" /></a></p>
<p>Is that not the cutest card ever?</p>
<p>These cards also came with envelopes (and you can order additional for $0.20 each) and when they arrived at our home, they were bundled together by a ribbon.</p>
<p>It was cute!</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait for the holiday season to arrive so I can mail them out to our friends and family!</p>
