the gift of family

the sukharev’s had just taken some really great family pictures and wanted to incorporate them into their holiday card this year.

this is the design i came up with for them. the front looks like a gift with the main family portrait and the back is a collage of images with a sweet little holiday greeting.  i thought it was only appropriate as their family was blessed with the gift of twins this year.

photographs were taken by j luna photography, an on-location photographer specializing in portraits and even shots of nature to the boudoir. check out more of her work at jlunaphotography.zenfolio.com.

happy birthday to me

here is how my finished birthday cupcakes turned out.

raspberry filled chocolate cupcakes decorated with chocolate frosting, a fresh raspberry and my custom cupcake topper.

and here’s me taking a bite out of 30!

you know that saying, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em?  well i’ve decided i’m going to embrace 30 and all that it has waiting for me.  after all, 30’s is the new 20’s!

custom holiday greetings by in a card

this holiday season serendipity magazine will be sending out holiday greetings with an “in a card” touch!

these custom holiday cards were designed especially for serendipity magazine with a personal greeting of their own on the inside to express their sentiments to all their vendors this year.

each card was embellished with 3 tiny silver ribbons and paired with an elegant metallic silver envelope, which will be a real stand out when each recipient opens their mailbox this holiday season.

what to make a statement this holiday with custom cards by “in a card”?  email me for more info and don’t forget, if you don’t make it in time for christmas, new year’s greetings are just as special!

just like auntie!

according to my sister, my niece kayla, is a lot like me.

loves polka dots, pajamas, purses, nail polish and anything that involves being creative. kayla was a huge inspiration to me for the new “color me” notecards i introduced the other day. so today i decided to create some custom ones for her and decided it would be a great addition to the notecard line.

these notecards will be great for her to color, decorate and send out once christmas is over and she can thank everyone for all the wonderful gifts she will have gotten.
