Help me choose!

Birth announcements.. I am going nuts.. I can't choose.. I love the white background photos, think they match the card better, but everytime I see the photo with her eyes open, I am memorized and just melt! Which to choose????

Keep in mind that I will be able to add a 3rd pic to the Thank You card and a 4th pic on a custom stamp.  A) http://tinyurl.com/yh4be45 
B) http://tinyurl.com/yheo8vp
C) http://tinyurl.com/yfkv37b UPDATED TO ADD: D) http://tinyurl.com/yz2s9dh    E) http://tinyurl.com/yktyq65  (I think this is my fav! Elf hat might make D too busy..... I could always use that pic in the stamps and/or TY card.)  Let me know what you think! TIA!

Re: Help me choose!

  • I love the one with her eyes open.  She looks so gorgeous in that one!  I'd choose C because it's nice to see pictures of her both awake and asleep.  Smile

     I totally agree with Lisa on "C"!

  • I love C as well because Alexa's eyes are so beautiful!  I also really like the picture of her in the pink and white toque... could you add that one into C?
  • c but they are all great

    This.  I would put the one with the hat in place of the other small image.

    Totally agree with Lisa. I just did Ashton's and everyone is raving about them. I used TinyPrint.com.  They were awesome and fast.

  • Wow, so everyone likes the one with the eyes open best? Well that is confirmation that that photo is indeed a good one... I just thought the dark colors in the background of that one threw the card's "look" off. Wish I had a nice open eye photo with a white background! Doh!

  • Wow.. Interesting.. My mom said the EXACT same thing as all of you.... I do like the eyes open one a LOT which is what is making this hard. Because I think the white background in the other shots goes better. And I do love that elf hat photo. How about this....

    I vote for this too. 

    Also, I'm clearly not thinking straight - I saw the name Aurora Claire and got REALLY confused for a moment lol, not realizing at first that it's just placeholder text. It's been a long day...

    Yes  I really like this. And actually, I think the dark background ties in nicely with the chocolate border around the photo sections.

    Hey Lisa! Someone else up at this hour... Alexa is finally asleep so I am about to swaddle her and hit the sack. I just updated the first post to add this option... I think the elf hat in D might make it too busy? What about this...

  • D or E are my favorites.
  • I really like "C" with her eyes open.  It is more personal and makes me want to get to know her more. =)   She is so beautiful Malia.  Enjoy every moment, it goes by too fast.  
  • My fave is D & then E. I don't think the dark background makes it off. It actually provides contrast and puts emphasis on the big photo. They're all cute!!

    Haha i also got confused there for a second Stick out tongue

  • My favorite is C.  I think we're all in agreement that you have to use the open eye photo as the main one--it is so cute it doesn't even matter about the backgrounds.  I actually don't like the bottom photo in E - it just looks like she's in kind of an odd position and it kinda weirds me out.  The hat one is ok, and I don't think it's too busy with the pink, but I prefer the bottom one in C where she is facing straight out.  I think that makes the composition of the photos more interesting.  You don't just have a "baby left" picture and a "baby right" picture.  Anyway, just my 2 cents!
  • And I also was like, Aurora??  Wait, did they change her name or something???  That would have been kinda weird.  haha

  • My fav is definitely E.  I really love that little elf hat pic though, but maybe you are right about that working better for the stamp.

  • You can't go wrong with any of them!!

    Which program are you using Malia?

  • Thanks everyone for your help!!! I think I am leaning toward E for the card and then use the pink cap on the stamp. It's hard!! Haha. 

    The card is from www.peekaboopaperie.com   :-)

  • I like D.  E is nice, too, but I feel like you can't see her face as well in that shot.  And I just really love the hat!

    I need an F vote. Stick out tongue

    I like the D design the best (I don't think E works quite as well), but for the stamp, use the picture where she's facing the camera (eyes closed, like in A and B).

  • I like D and E =) I love the one where you can see her eyes too! Adorable!
