Very unique designs – especially the TV set one!  You’ll either love it or hate it I’m guessing!  

Just some more options for my lovely clients! 

This is a brand new design this year – sorta fun! Another new one… and another… I actually designed this one last year and it was very popular amongst my clients!  It’s very versitile – I can easily modify the colors as well as the photos to accomodate almost anything!  This is actually an old one from 2008…but updated it a bit here. Another one from last year.  This one was also very popular since it can incorporate 5 photos nicely!  (btw…this is my little bro & his cute family!) Another new one…I made the “word art” so it can be put on any design really! Here’s one that I admit was HUGELY inspired by one I saw on www.tinyprints.com and I just loved it!  I wanted to see if I could come up with something similar (but not exactly the same of course).  I highly recommend tinyprints if you want to upload and print your own cards!  They have probably the best selection of cards around!  (I think!)  I did switch a few things around and modified fonts/sayings/added scrolly things, etc.  I can also swap out papers to match clothing in the photos – or just go w/ classic b&w and it doesn’t matter! Here’s an oldy but a goody!  I cannot tell you how many versions I’ve done of this card….but it’s a LOT!  I can totally change the frames, take off the tape, change the colors, fonts, etc.  Very, very versitile.  And it can be one-sided or two-sided (or hey, even a folded card if you want!) This too is another oldy but goodie.  I also have done MANY versions of this card – I can swap out colors, sentiment, word art, papers, etc.  Very versitile too. Another oldy but goody.  Very clean, simple & classic.Made this one last year too.  Very classic & simple – and non-traditional Christmas colors.  Looks best w/ a b&w photo.  I wasn’t going to get too into cards this year (I tell myself that EVERY year!) but I obviously got sucked in again.  I’ve already had people asking about card designs.  If you want to see more, I have a private gallery set up w/ almost every card I’ve done!  I’ll send you the link/password if you like (and only if you are a current client of course!) 

So here’s the scoop!  Anything that is already “pre-designed” and I just have to pop in your photos and print will be subject to a $25 design fee for my time (unless you order 100 or more cards, then the design fee is waived.)  If you want me to start from scratch, it’s $50 + the cost of the cards of course.  Refer to my website for card pricing.  Here’s my post on some designs from last year that I purchased. 

Anyway, they were just as fun as last time! You can tell Max is such a great big brother! He didn’t flinch at all when I had Hannah hug him or get close. What a sweetie! Hannah really needs to model! She came up with almost all of these poses on her own- such a natural!

She looks way older than 6-1/2, huh?
I guess this “her thing” – the double peace signs!

All of these were taken at the Hopkins studio using natural light & white seamless. Then we got some props out! Max came up with these on his own! Very clever!I told them to look at each other and laugh. Hannah was so funny – she said, “It’s easy to laugh cuz Max looks so funny so I laugh and my laugh is contaigious, so then he laughs!” Yes, her laugh is very contaigious!
A possible card?
I bought this hat last week and it matched Hannah’s outfit PERFECTLY! Love it on her!

I really like these of Max too.

And of course I brought along some fun suckers!
Mom got in on one at the end…so pretty! OK Aimee, next time I’m taking more pics of you and Dave (if you can get him to come!)Thanks for coming again guys! It was nice to hang out with you again!

These are all 5×7 in size, but again, I can modify to different sizes sometimes. I would recommend a flat 2-sided 5×7 press-printed card for these designs, but they could certainly be adapted easily into a folded (4 sides – front, inside spread, back) 5×7 press-printed card as well…or just print one side and use for a 5×7 photograph greeting card. So many options!

And clients where I used your photo for the example cards – if you like it, I can print them for you – just shoot me an e-mail.

I used a bunch of different dingbats to make up all the little things on the tree. Inspired by something I saw last year at Limited Too (Justice) but now I can’t even recall what the original design looked like.

If you know me at all, you know I really love coming up with holiday cards & creations…to view past ones, go way down on the bottom under “labels” and click on “greeting cards” or “holiday” as a category and past posts will come up.

Thanks to everyone that sent birthday wishes yesterday – it was a nice, low-key birthday. Just the way I like it!
