*sneak peak* for my new 2008 holiday designs

i have been hard at work coming up with some new designs for the holiday season. last year, i got started late and never even got all my 2007 designs in my store. so, we are working on those now and in the coming weeks will have new 2008 designs available as well. remember to order early, my process time goes from 48 hours to about 72 hours and we all know how shipping times can be slower the closer we get to the holidays. so don't wait.

here they are, a few of my favorite designs (and some featuring my favorite pictures of my favorite kids - i.e. MINE). i love that i get to combine my love of photography with my love of design.

introducing my newest design... [boston]

i truly do not know how i come up with names. when i was doing the boy one, i was thinking of a name and boston came to mind. the boston red sox are our favorite team and boston was one of the names we considered for my middle son. well, now this design is boston. fun & full of life, that is boston.

what do the return labels look like?

since i get this question often, i thought it was time to share. labels are available with every purchase. I always try my best to match the card so your friends and family get a little sneak peak of what is inside. here are two samples of a card with its coordinating return label.

new designs are here!

i had some time this weekend to come up with a couple of new designs.

first up is this simply.love. this modern design has a soft, muted brown background with either blue for your baby boy or pink for your new little girl with one large main photo and up to three smaller, supporting photos. the center has a strip of your accent color with soft hearts going all the way across the card. i also added a large cursive initial, which could be for the baby's name or your family last name. the girl version also has a soft feminine lace border going across the center.
