«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 356 of 356Love your work! How about some farmgirls and boys?
Silhouettes are my favorite! Our farm logo is a silhouette. (www.fairhopealpacas.com)
Would love to win this!
Hi!
I love everything you have in your shop. I would suggest adding some more grown up colours. I realise you are focusing on "babies" but I think they are things you could keep forever and therefore should be things you could display in a bigger kids' room. (Reds, orange maybe)
You have very beautiful products. How about ornaments for Christmas? They would make wonderful gifts for grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.
jendrost @ att . net
WOW... I'd love to see some birds on your designs.
Lovely work! I love flowers so of course I'd like to see more flowers. Also I love the color combo of red and orange.
Well your site is great as is, but since you want ideas, maybe just more options or choices for the silhouettes since they seem so popular and they are fantastic for sure!

Oh I LOVE the custom silhouettes and would love to have one for my two little ones. Their room is done in cowboy/cowgirl so a western background to match their theme would be great. Maybe a western border around the silhouettes of their heads... Everything is beautiful!
i adore your stuff and love your etsy shop. (this isn't the first time I've been there...)
you have THE perfect color coordinations but would also suggest maybe adding some birds... or some damask or toile prints?
You do beautiful work! I've bookmarked your site for future use, love it. I really like the classic muted colors you use. The only suggestion I can think of is to maybe offer some brighter colors on some of the childrens item or add some muted patterns to some of the designs. Thanks!
purple and yellow color combos would be nice Please enter me thanks

Lavender, light muted moss green
twins, animals-sparrows, a scottie dog,book plates, personalized memo paper, wedding invitations
You do a great job! How about calling cards, like business cards, but for kids when they meet a new friend at school etc.
Your stuff is adorable! I would suggest adding a outer frame with a contrasting pattern on the prints to give them more dimension - like a matted print. Thanks for the contest.
I like the silhouetes and the "spin" you did putting two together I want to see more...like 5 for me or a design....
I can't think of anything at all...my mind is blank. Everything looks really nice :)
i'd like to see more examples of some of the other designs you can do - animals, etc.

I absolutely love the Family Silhouettes! Thanks for a great giveaway :)
They are all wonderful. I would love a silhoutte (sorry about spelling) of a little boy and his puppy. lisansamples@yahoo.com
These are beautiful, have you thought of adding disabled children silhouettes? My daughter is in a walker or mayb doing a child in a wheelchair. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I think I might like to see some bolder colors included. I like the designs and the silhouettes, but I the colors are all so muted.
I loved the name prints! I have a super hard time finding things to decorate my little one's surf inspired room that is child friendly, amybe some beachy things?!

Very cute things, I will write about you...
Love, Marci
mac093@bellsouth.net
I love your note cards. But it would be fun to see more patterns for lil boys.
you have great stuff. I LOVE the silouttes. THe only thing I can think of is that maybe for the birthday items that'd be for older (nonbaby) kids, maybe some more bright colors that look less birth announcementish. And the silouettes, I'd love do it in just black and white to be able to go with any room
Love the baby blue birds framed art.....I cannot think of anything I'd change, love the colors, the design.
I do have an owl and turtle addiction so maybe a design with one of those little critters worked into it.
Thanks!

I just love your work! I am expecting my first child in May and love a classic silhouette! I would maybe like to see a more simple birth announcement, similar to the stationary. I like the plain border with the 1 silhouette, maybe not so much of a pattern. I also love pink and green so maybe more pink/green combos!
I also posted about your Etsy site on my blog. I am private, but if you would like an invite, you can email me at inthelifeof5yearolds@hotmail.com Thanks!
I really like your note card/ thank you card offerings, but it would be even cooler if you had one that combined a mommy silhouette with a baby silhouette.
Everything is just precious! The only thing I can think of to suggest is artwork for children's bedrooms.
I love the Personalized Framed Sibling Silhouette Print. I have two kids one who is 10 years old and one who is 10 months old. My oldest has Autism and would never sit for a silhouette, but being able to have one done by photo with his sisters would be the best keepsake ever!! I think you do awesome work!!
LOVE the silhouettes! Thought about trying with my kiddos, but I KNOW they'd never turn out that cute! Here's a couple ideas for your awesome store. Don't know if you want to branch out, but what about bridal shower invitations with silhouette pics of bride and groom (if possible as children) otherwise adult shots nice too. Or pic of bride's baby silhoutee next to adult. You could do graduation silhouettes also or baby's Christening or dedication with name, date etc similar to birth announcements.
How about stationary with the family members on the top!
Stefani @ Mom's Work At Home Blog
I have three little girls so I would love to see a print of them holding hands and walking with maybe some trees or florals around the edges. Also, a silhouette of a child smelling a cute little flower would be sweet. I loooooove your designs! Very cool!
I love it all! It is all so cute! I love the children silhouttes but maybe you could do animals too? I hope I win! This would be so great!
stacygibbs122@gmail.com
Wow! You have a lot already! I think I'd add a family set for all the kids in one frame, like maybe in oval openings. rebolsen at gmail dot com
Your work is divine! I would like to see holiday cards such as
Valentine's day and Christmas, etc.
Pre-packaged combos would be great. Like everything in one color scheme
Oh my those are very adorable. I love the silhouettes but i see you have one for a dog and not for a cat, i would love to see more pet ones, also boys and trains or cars is awesome as i have two almost three boys :)
I think you have alot of great items maybe you could have some silhouettes that looks like they have a mirror staring back at them
I blogged about your adorable artwork.
http://maddisyn.blogspot.com/2009/01/babycakes-art.html
I am new to this so i hope i did it right.
I love your items! I think patterns would look cute on the back page of the invites. Plaid, circles, trains, cars..whatever!
I just read an article on how to do a silhouette and wanted to try on each of my girls. Hope I win so you can do it for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about scrapbooks? Your artwork as the cover of a scrapbook or a photo album or a baby book would be something I would love!!!

I love your website and I give you props for creating such a wonderful idea. I do think since your looking for opinions you could do a section with darker bolder colors like bright red, blue,yellow and hot pink. I know typically people go for the pastels with a baby but some people might like the bolder brighter colors.Thanks
I saw that somebody already recommended adding pets, so how about some baby announcements with Big Sister/Little Sister silhouettes. You could do a girl/boy reading a book for a slightly older child/teen. You could also add more elements like toy airplane, balls, pull toys, etc.
Lime green and brown is my favorite color combination, so I'd love to see some more of the products in that color combo! Thanks so much!
I would like to see options for bigger groups of kids! Thanks!
What about gift tags to hang from gift bags or add to wrapped gifts. I usually buy plain gift bags and decorate them myself, so they never come with a tag. Thanks for the great giveaway!

P.S. I've got a giveaway on my blog as well, feel free to check it out!
I love your work. So cute! I love animals. My son's nursery is safari animals. Maybe something with some more animals, like a monkey or elephant.
rebecca6026@gmail.com
I love those silhouettes. Especially how you put the two kids together. Beautiful!
How beautiful!
Whoops I forgot to say that I would love to see some rubber stamps! :)
I'll go link to you on my blog!
Love your site! I looked around, and the only thing I could think of would be something more grandparent-focused. I could see getting my mom a collage silhouette of our two kids, plus our nephew, but there's not really a way to do that many silhouettes.
I honestly can't think of anything to add. I am truly impressed with your work, and I have bookmarked you.
My favorites were the lovebirds set!

my mom had these of my brother and me one for my sons wedding would be great
I'd like to see cats added!
Your work is lovely! I am not sure it is possible but I would love to see note pads (either like sticky notes or just regular memo pads) that is something I use alot
Your shop is beautiful! Maybe around Christmas offer silhouettes? I would love to hang one of those on my tree.

These are great cards. I would like to see some cards with more bold colors, specifically red. The thank you card with red instead of pink would be fantastic!
Lovely shop. I especially like the silhouettes. I would like to see gingham/checks. Thanks.

I would love a more generic thank-you card that could be used for any occaision. Beautiful work!
Seriously all of your stuff is amazing! I would LOVE to have a Personalized Framed Silhouette Print of my son. Such neat ideas... love it! Thanks for the giveaway.
chericehodges@gmail.com
What beautiful items. I have older children so my only suggestion would be "older" children items. Maybe Sweet 16 or similar things.
Have a great nephew on the way so will be back to order for him once I know name, birthday and other info.
dazelaw @earthlink.net
I would love to see you add a special needs announcemnt catergory. Like our son was born with Down syndrome, and we weren't quite sure how to tell people and what to write in the cards.
So maybe something like, announcements with awareness ribbons of different disabilites, so that they can kind of tie it into the info on the announcement.
Just a thought. :D
Thanks for the give away, would love to be entered!!
I love all your items and they are all so personalized. It would be great to have more items that have silouettes of things other than children. I love the personalized items.
I think wrapping paper would be a great idea as well
Is all so beautiful. I love love to win a silhouette of my grandson.
You are so talented! How about some owls? They are so cute :)
I think a profile silhouette of a girl with a pony tail would be nice. I think they are so cute. Thanks!
babychooch (at) gmail {dot} com
Fabulous! I love personalized items. How about creating personalized "Bag Tags" that mommies can use to identify their diaper bags or kids bookbags for school?
Thanks,
Alli Houston
email: allihouston6@yahoo.com
So cute! I love anything with a silhouette. It's hard to even think of anything you should add...maybe diaper bag tags? Great giveaway!
I love the personalized name print. It would be cute if offered in black and white print maybe with a light purple to it as well, have the birds in light purple!
Hugs,

Beautiful items. It would be fun to be able to purchase a set of custom valentine cards for school parties with the silhouette patterns.
I love it all!! I would be thrilled to win any of it!
amcconkie@hotmail.com
You have some Amazing Stuff! The only thing I would like to see more of is just the simple and classic black and white color combo used more!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I love all your items! My only suggestion would be maybe some brighter colors for girls and some primary colors for boys.
I think your stuff is absolutely adorable! I would love to see some stuff for mom too. Not just the small ones. I think you are SUPER talented and could create some great items.
I have blogged about this giveaway. I just LOVE your items.
Seriously. I'm not just saying that because I want to win :)
Owls are in right now. Maybe something of that sort.
Animal silluettes are cute.
Personalized stickers as well.

I saw your birth announcement framed print but what about birth announcements? Now that I am having my 3rd I am already starting to wonder if I will have time to do them myself :) Thanks for a great contest!
I would like to see birth announcements for Twins.
I would love to see stickers! :)
dreamzz12{at}aol{dot}com
I love them all! I would love to see one with 3 little boys... since my 3rd is on the way!
Very nice!
I'd love to see more lavender. I also love the colour combination of lavender and green.narilia [at] yahoo [dot] com
I think a family silhouette card for the holidays would be really nice!

Mariah

You could have notepads or sticky note pads.
I have the same ideas as other people, but I have twins so something like that, and what about more than 2 children, also I like the pattern ideas and also love to see black and whites!!
I don't think you need to add anything. What a wonderful store with super cute products. I will surely be adding you to my favorites!!
Personalized Prints.
My daughter's room is done in orange sherbert, lime and sherbert pink. I would love to see these colors in one design.
nothing i love more then a pregnant belly... they could be shower invites or thank you cards
I love green. I'd like to see more green options. Beautiful work though!
I would love the see the custom silhouette in a light purple color as this is my oldest daughters' favorite color. I would love to see it in a boys color too for my son, green and red maybe? Thanks for the great giveaway!
ann dot guns at mac dot com
I really love the Lovebirds note cards. Your items are beautiful.
Thanks,
Davina
SO CUTE! I just love your items :) I think it would be SO cute to have the silhouettes in jewelry...I would love an individual charm silhouette for each of my children :)
I love the silhouettes but it might be nice to add custom back grounds. outdoorsy or different colors etc
texasgirl(at)rocketmail(dot)com
Wow, you have tons of great stuff. Maybe some more personalized designs where we could send you nursery prints and you could match the desing to them.
I would like to see more pets added!
They are all very nice. I think it would be neat to see some silhouettes of moms and dads with the children.
I would love to see some individual wall letters in frames.
Anything with twins. I am preggers with twins and it is so hard to find stuff for them, especially if they are boy/girl.
Hugs and Mocha,
Stesha
Wow, these are cute. I'm really not sure what else to suggest. I think everyone else about covered it. I love them!
Love the sibling 8 x 10. And I think the soft colors are perfect!
Oh my goodness. I am so glad I found your etsy shop. LOVE everything. I added you as a favorite shop.
My suggestion: How about an invite in the shape of a cupcake.
I love these! I don't know if you can already do this, but to be able to choose what color the silhouette is would be cool (pink, blue, green, yellow, purple, etc.). Allows for more personality I think!
This is all so lovely! I had a hard time thinking of something new to add - people commenting have some cool ideas too. The only thing I can think of is to add some more vibrant primary colors as an option. Thanks for the chance!
I would like to see a silhouette of an infant in the thank you cards or a very young toddler.
I love cards. I would think maybe something in a yellow that is not for either boy or girl.
ratzlaff@ptd.net
I'd love to see more personalized thank you cards for the children to use after their birthday parties! Maybe even a set of invitations AND thank you cards?
I'm In LOVE with Sillhouettes! I would love to win your giveaway! All of your products are fabulous, maybe you could add some cute baby deer, or birds? I love the Chandelier. Maybe Marie Antoinette....that would be fun!!
jsarbaugh138 (at) comcast.net
I loved all of your wonderful designs. I would love to see a shilouette of a child on a swing. It would fit in with the other whimsical designs you carry!
Everything I was thinking you have! LOVE the little girl in the tutu, I make those and sell them and so that caught my eye. Gray and purple seem to be very "in" colors right now, maybe that kind of color combo. Your work is beautiful!

Very beautiful things, I would love the chance to win.
Very cute! I'm sure I could find a perfect gift for my friend who will be delivering in February. Thanks!
So cute! My kind of giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win something so unique.
I love the framed silhouettes. Very sweet.
Very nice site, would like to see some things in some brighter colors.
paryjeja at sbcglobal dot net
would like to see some bolder colors, as my kids are a bit older (4&6) - maybe burnt red, chocolate, olive, mustard, deep orange, etc. Very cute ideas, though! As a professional decorator, I love the idea of using my family/kids as a work of art!!
What beautiful artwork! My son's room is decorated in green and chocolate brown, so I would love to see more of that color combination. Also, I loved the giraffe notcards, but we're into monkeys at our house, which will be the theme of his 1 yr bday. Maybe invites and thank-yous with a monkey?
what about baby's first handprint, footprint or framed first word type idea.
Beautiful shop! I'm truly wowed. I would love to see your girl's invites in purple! I'll choose lavender over pink any day ;)
I love Harlequin diamond background patterns too. I'd flip if you had girl's invites in purple with a diamond background!
You have some beautiful items! I would want the silhouettes of my children!
Lots of cute things, maybe something with Police cars. I saw a Fire Truck, my husband is a policeman and its so hard to find things. Thanks :)
I can't imagine suggesting anything for you to add. Everything you have is so wonderful. AztecFeller@aol.com
So cute and creative. I hope I win!
you know what i would love to see?! a mommy and baby in a rocking chair. or a pregnant woman. or a child playing outside.
button.lambright@gmail.com
owls! The baby owls or the retro owls you see now. Those would look so cute with the birdies!!
great work tho!
Such pretty stuff! Really random... but my son LOVES elephants, so some little elephant cards in brown and khaki would be adorable!!
I would like to see matching shelves in the blue/pink diamond pattern to match the wall plaques. I think it would be a great place to put other memory items like their first shoes, rattle, toys, stuffed animals, etc.. It would really set off a wall as being a set where everything matches. Thank you for the chance to win, have a great day!
I loved everything, sad to see you didn't have like name meanings
I'd love to win!
Maybe some more boyish designs? Farm, tractors, baseball, etc. But, I love your classic timeless style.
thepolkadotlollipop@hotmail.com

Everything is so cute. I would love to see you have the silhouettes on toille.
I have looked at your site and think you have did a fantastic job and no charges are needed!
I would love to see hot pink and black together. These are so simple but elegant and cute at the same time. Love them all!
I heart the double silhouettes.
I would love to see a silhouette of a little girl and her dog. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would say custom patterns on the silhouettes. Adorable!
a boy activity theme would be nice (playing basketball,etc)
reginald2004 at gmail dot com
I only saw silhouettes with two children. What happens if you have three? I would like this option if it did not make the picture too busy. We only have two kids now, but I am sure number three is not far down the line. I love your art!
More butterflies would be cute! I love them!
Your site has some great stuff and I will definitly be bookmarking it!
Very beautiful and classy. what about a pad of paper for mom that says, "mom of ___" at the bottom.
What about a pad of paper for mom that says, "mom of ____" at the bottom
I would love to see some monograms!
Everything is just adorable! I would love to see something special for military moms as it is so hard to find anything to fit this category.
my friend has twins and is starting to plan their first birthday party so i think it would be neat if you had invitations for birthdays of multiples. thanks for the giveaway.
jayme[dot]bouwens@yahoo[dot]com
Something(s) with four initials & silhouettes of kids & a big dog :)
I am another fan of silhouettes! Thanks for a great giveaway :)
I'd love to see you offer jewelry using your images...maybe tile or porcelain pendants that could be personalized with the customer's children's silhouettes?
What wonderful inventory. I'm always looking for different X-mas cards. Thanks for having the wonderful giveaway.
