Before my niece was born, I told my SIL that I would make the baby a wall hanging with her name. I told her I would do a differentย frame for EACH letter.
So what does she decide to name her? One of the LONGEST names possible- Gabriella. But a promise is a promise. I wonder WHAT was I thinking?! Must have been that new baby high women get.
Now she has been here for 2 1/2 months and I ONLY have 2 letters done! (looks like one for each month! LOL!) If I keep on at this pace she will get the set when she turns ONE! LOL! She may even end up with just GABBY at this rate! LOL!
G is for G-abriella
So this is the FIRST letter. I used my JustRite Stampers Trompe Script Uppercase.ย Its perfectly scripty yet clean.
I left the frames natural so they can be changed later if need be. Plus Im lazy! LOL! I don’t like painting ๐ I got these in sets of 3 at Target for $2.50! They are 4X4 inside the framed portion. Really sweet. Makes a great and affordable gift.
ย I want to use the Rachelle Anne Miller line to complete the frames. A different image, and color for each letter. This is Candy Time. I think this little girl is adorable, so had to use her for this start of the frames.
Makes me think and feel Spring just looking at it.
I have to be honest-I didn’t have the set name when I made this so I thought she was holding a bag of goldfish! LOL! Then just sitting down resting by the flowers, waiting to go home with her new friends! LOL!
I later learned it was CANDY! LOL! I wasn’t going to “tell” but I think its pretty funny!
No matter-the girl is beyond adorable, don’t you think?
I hope my SIL and Niece like the frames, if I EVER get them finished! LOL! I have 2 done, 7 to go!
Don’t forget to check the Stampavie Blog!ย Always lots of inspiration going on there. You can get Stampavie collections HERE!
Here is a photo my SIL sent me 2 weeks ago
Gabby is ALWAYS smiling.
Right now theyย are on vacation in West Virgina, to see Valeries family. I guess I have to share her :C
I miss her already ๐ She is my baby fix! Im totally content once I spend the day with her.
I cannot wait to get a hold of this little beauty with my new camera!
OK I need to go, and finalize my new design team!
Be back later!

Goldfish. lol. That G you created is adorable. I love the purple colors you chose. I like the how you colored the water in the bag for the fish (lol). I’m sorry, but I found that so funny. I looks like she’s snacking on a fish as she sits there.
Gabriella is an adorable baby!! I can’t wait to see the rest of the letters you create.
Beautiful baby! Great frames, that’s such a sweet idea. Good luck though getting it all done. I hope that they have the space to hang them all up! LOL!
What a smile!
What a sweet gift idea! That size of frame is perfect too. I hope you’ll continue to show us each one as you make it further and further down that long name.
Checked out you new camera pics last night too. You got some great shots. I did the exact same thing when I got my camera…took my girls to the park. It was fun to catch them just doing what they do best.
Such a precious gift! wonderful!
This should be called G for gorgeous, Lauren!!! You did a fabulous job with the coloring and design on this and your niece is just the sweetest!!!!!
Lauren, How about ‘gab’ and you are 2/3 of the way there or….just one more letter. lol
Wow Lauren – just when I think you can’t bowl me over anymore you do it again – and again – and again! You are probably the most amazing woman I know in the world of papercrafting right now for so many reasons! AWESOME gift for GABBY!
Oh my gosh! I’ve never seen that stamp line before, and I love them all! I may have a new addiction!
I thought a similar thing as Judy – why not just do Gabby? With the smaller frames it might even look better to have a short name, rather than a long string of small frames up on the wall.
Lauren she is soooo cute!! ๐ You have to be one proud Auntie!! ๐ I love this first frame, and I can’t wait to see the rest! (over time of course!)
Adorable and adorable….
Gabriel’s smile is enchanting and your frame is a wonderful idea and too funny about the fish, You could ask Rachelle to create some with fun fair instead then you could continue your fish thing… LOL!
Cute piece of art for your neice’s room for an even cute baby!!! I probably would have thought that was gold fish too! She’s a sweet image and that little dog’s fascination with the catepillar has me smiling. Love the purples and the little sparkle in the coloring! :>
I LOVE this idea ! I’ve been wondering how to make my DD room special and this sings to me. Luckily, she’s just GRACE – only 5 letters !! Thanks for the inspiration !
Absolutely adorable!!! I love the frame. I have some Sarah Kay but love this other collection as well. My stamp collection grows by the minute it feels like.
Love Gabriella. Beautiful. I so have baby fever.
Oh I love those frames! They look like the perfect size! The purple is wonderful and the little girl so cute!
Love the frame project – what a great idea!! And what a sweet pic of Gabby – she looks like a flower with that sweet yellow ruffle around her darling face!!
What a great image! I just love the little puppy! (I love dogs!) Great idea for her name…bummer it’s such a long one! Maybe SIL did that on purpose to have more of your artwork! LOL! And Gabby is a beautiful baby…such a sweet smile!
And speaking of beauties…Amber is sooo photogenic! She is such a doll and a little ham for the camera! ๐
OMG…still laughing about the goldfish…I thought the same thing when I saw the pic :O)
Gabbie is beyond adorable! I LOVE her sweet smile :]

Just worried about you since you have not posted today… Hope everything is okay ๐
The goldfish thing is too funny – that’s what I thought they were too before you spelled it out – AND, I thought you used the “G”oldfish to tie into the “G” of her name!
Very precious Lauren – she is a lucky girl to have a talented aunt!
Your hanger is just beautiful lauren, so pretty!
