Kennedy's Shirt

I've had a few questions about Kennedy's One Month onesie so I thought I would share it so you can make your own if you'd like. I got the idea from Hilary (a private blog) who was making them for a shower gift. Great idea! They made their own custom circles but I'm lazy and did it this way-

I used a pink tab from Katie Pertiet's digital Little Round tabs for the entire background and resized it to 4" in photoshop.

Next I opened a new layer and typed the number "1" in Times new Roman.

In another new layer I typed "month" using Ali Edward's handwriting font found here.

I flipped all the text Horizontally so it would print with the text backwards and printed it on an iron on sheet. If your baby isn't too fat for her onesie by picture time... ahem... then your finished image won't crack like mine did.

I saved the file in layers instead of merging them all so I could change the number according to her age later without needing to make a new one. Viola`.

Hope that helps. We are getting ready for Kennedy's blessing tomorrow but if you have any other questions I'll be back Monday. Have a great weekend!
