It's Valentine's Day! Have we mentioned how much we LOVE our customers?

Well... we do...a lot!  One of the greatest things about having a company that involves pregnancy, babies, and toddlers is that we get to watch your children grow and share in each monthly milestone along the way. There is nothing better than opening up my laptop and finding an inbox full of customer photos. Yes, we truly look forward to the photos you share with us.  Think of us like baby's third grandma. We love this stuff. 

So, you can imagine how thrilled I was when a customer e-mailed me to share her gorgeous daughter's monthly baby pictures and... a really easy way to create a simple, economical, and adorable color-coordinated background each month.  I was even more thrilled when she said I could share this idea with the rest of the Sticky Bellies' world! You know we're all about keeping things simple around here, so I love that this mama has found a way to make her monthly pictures POP without spending a lot of money or time. Check it out!

(I fancied up the customer pictures by putting them into this collage with Picnik, a free online editing software that you can use to create simple photo collages in a matter of minutes!)

Here's what mama wrote to us about her "strategy" for these adorable pictures:

"I throw a yard of flannel fabric over a boppy for the photos.  I've managed to use coupons/sales to purchase the fabric..usually runs me @ $2 per piece.  I'm not sure what I am going to do with all of the fabric once a year passes, but I'm sure I'll come up with something...maybe a blanket?"

Don't you just LOVE it? I love that she is in a simple white onesie each month, with only the background changing. I also love that the baby is in the same position, so you can really see how much she has grown! (Although, good luck getting a 10 month old to lay there and not move, right!?) This is just a small sampling of the creative (errr...genius?) ideas we see from our talented customers each month.  Have you shared yours? If not, please share on our Facebook page or check out our customer photo galleries to e-mail us your own pics.

You inspire US! Thank you and Happy Valentine's Day to you and your little Sticky Bellies' babies!
