Hershey Bar Birth Announcement


Years and Years and years ago, I had a friend that had a baby. Honestly its been so long ( I must have been 16 or so), i cant even remember who it was. But they gave out Hershey bars as their announcement.

Hers were made out of construction paper and simply written on with a sharpie. It was soo cute I have held onto that memory all these years.

As i was trying to think of how to do this since my printing and spelling is HORRIBLE, I got to thinking i have a computer and i have a program i know how to use. just work it up. I did this in a matter of hours. now my template is all saved, all i have to do is wait for the event to happen, type in the correct date, and weight and measurements, and print!

the only real obstacle is keeping the family out of the Hershey bars!

HOW TO MAKE THIS YOURSELF....

I worked this up in Microsoft Office Word.

I used custom paper size. 6 x 5.5
Two borders of baby bottles on the top and on the bottom.
One baby clip art on the side
and just regular text on the left.

To make ALL of the clip art easier to place, Select the clip art, right click, text wrapping, and THROUGH. This will allow you to place the clip art freely where ever you may want it so it wont interfere with any text you want to enter.

As you can see you cut out the part over the "HE" in HERSHEY if you were to have a girl, you would cut out the "SHE".

You will need to "sacrifice" one Hershey bar so you can get this all lined up to mark out your "cut away" spot. But that was something I was WILLING to do :)
