I used the bird from the Birds & Blooms Sizzlits to creater markers with each child's name to mark their height.
We don't plan to be in this house forever, so I don't want to leave marks on the wall (that's one thing I love about Decor Elements is that you can remove them without leaving a mark!). I made the bird markers movable and will take a picture of the kids by the growth chart marker so that we'll have a record on how tall they are at various milestones. Here is the little book I made up for the pictures.
The pages are 5" x 5" Kraft cardstock. I used the Crop-a-Dile to punch holes and bound them together with a 1" binder ring. The tree trunk & bird on the cover are from the Season of Friendship stamp set and the tree top and leaves are from the Scallop Circle Punch.

Jules, this is totally adorable! Thanks for posting.
I like how you made the watch me grow book to keep track; better than just marks on a wall! Great idea. jmniffer
Oh my gosh! What a great idea to make up a cute little watch me grow book to go with the growth chart. Just adorable!
That is such a great idea. My decor element growth chart should arrive on Monday. i will have to do something similar.
What a wonderful idea!!!
That looks so great on the wall Julie. I love the movable birds - what a great idea. The book is an excellent way to record the growth of the children. 10 out of 10 for this idea and concept !
That is a WONDERFUL idea, Julie!! I like the Growth Chart, but I absolutely love the idea of taking pictures of them at each height. What a fun memory book!!
