Wedding Invitation

2009-06-20T00:08:00.006-06:00

I had a lot of fun putting this last minute invitation together for a previous clients sister! I didn't take the pictures, but had fun editing them. The bride to be had the great idea of doing the main picture in black and white, with the couple in color! That is a lot of fun to do!

Photo Editing

2009-02-13T10:22:00.003-07:00

A Few Things I've Been Working On

2008-11-13T16:27:00.004-07:00

Here is some of the fun I've had earlier this week!

When we took our family pictures (see previous post), we went with two other families. This is a shot I got of this fun little family. I love this picture! Such a beautiful family, and some of the kids weren't too excited to be there. When we said, "show us how you're really feeling!", this is what we got! Isn't it a hoot? Too add to the irony of the photo, I just had to add "Peace On Earth".. Too funny!

This is a picture of my sisters family I took last September. I decided to play around a make a card to show the cute family! I had fun making another variation of the card, that also shows the funny "blooper" shots I got of each kid. I think it adds a little more personality to the card.Aren't they cute!

And one last variation of the above card. I put myself in charge of the advertising for our Enrichment Night (a group of women in my church getting together once a quarter - I get to be in charge!). Walgreens is having a good sale this week, so I wanted to get it completed and developed before I missed the sale! Since we're somewhat displaced this week and I only have late evenings to work on my own computer, I had to be quick and didn't have time to make something from scratch. So, here is what I came up with:I wanted to show you how easy it is for me to customize the cards and change them to fit your individual style and taste. Have I mentioned that I can create one from scratch as well? You can have any card, any variation of a card you see, or anything from scratch for only $15.00! You can then print as many as you would like - either on your own personal computer, or take them somewhere and have them developed.

Check Out Them Stripes!

2008-11-10T23:31:00.006-07:00

Well, I figured it's time to make a card of my own family - yep, that is my clan... all eight of us- (and I'm lovin nearly every minute of it!!).

Anyone who really knows me, knows I LOVE stripes! So I had to throw them in this card of mine. I made this one a 4x8 card. I've found a few sites that will let me upload my own 4x8 design, rather than use one of their templates. This can easily be changed to a 4x6 or 5x7 card. It's yours for $15 - modified with any text, font and/or color palette you like!

New "Non-Traditional" Christmas Card!

2008-10-28T16:55:00.004-06:00

After a few crazy busy weeks, I was able to get Amber's Christmas Photo Card completed! I am so excited that they are loving this card! I pulled the pink from their cute little daughters skirt, and the green is a variation pulled from their other daughters (a cutie as well, don't you think?) dress. The font color was pulled from Amber's dress. This was so much fun to do... it's always fun when you have gorgeous photos to work with! Thank you Amber for letting me put this together! We can insert your family's photo in here, change the text, and adapt the colors for a mere $15.00! You can then go and have them "developed" as a 4x6 or 5x6 photo card!

High School Musical 3 Movie Party Invitation!

2008-10-07T21:24:00.002-06:00

So my daughter Haley (who is NINE!) is a massive High School Musical fan! For MONTHS she's been planning on having a party with her friends to go and see the movie together. Of course I couldn't resist the opportunity to make a funky invite for her to give to her 12 friends! She took some pictures this summer of her with all of her HSM stuff, so I put this on the invite to personalize it. You can personalize it with a picture of your daughter (I say daughter, because really - is there a 10 year old boy that is dying to go see this movie?), or I can enlarge the text to fill the entire invite. What a fun idea!
