card designs

I've been working with some new card designs to use for baby announcements and holiday greetings. I like layouts that veer a bit from the traditional. I know....next, I'll be trying to tell you that the sky is blue! To make these examples, I used some shots from past family sessions. For some reason, I thought the black & white images worked best. Let me know if you agree/disagree. I luvs me some input! Johnny 5 needs input! Here's what a geek I am....one of my external hard drives is named Johnny 5. If you get that reference, then I'm sorry that you are as old and geeky as I am. If you don't get it, go to bed, it's past your bedtime (and get a haircut).

Here are just a few of the card designs that I'll be using this holiday season, baby season, wabbit season, and duck season. That reference is even OLDER! I'd better go watch some episodes of "Gossip Girl", listen to some Jonas Brothers albums, and read "Twilight" ASAP.


First, the holiday cards...












...and here are some baby announcement cards...








Although November is packed full of family portrait sessions for the holidays, I can't believe that it's already time to start using the word "holidays"!

mary, i know how much you love the thought of having to send baby announcements, so i'll make sure that happens. i will also watch the baby for you when you want to go out honky-tonkin'.

mary - why don't you just send the baby as your announcement? you could mail the baby to one person and that person could then forward the baby to the next addressed envelope?

Stacey - those cards are so cool - i want to have a baby or get married so i can announce something and have cards made. You are amazing.

wonder how much postage is on a 7 or 8 lb. package.

in the midst of comments about mary shipping her newborn, i also want to point out that i did not design the graphics of these cards. they were created by talented people who know how to do that and are nice enough to sell them to me.
