Wedding Products

I was so excited to receive the custom wedding album from Nicole and Markus’ Wedding. These images don’t do this album justice. The colour is yummy perfection (not on this post though). The construction and quality is hard to capture here on the web, but trust me, it’s simply STUNNING. It was hard passing this over to the bride but I will bring in more samples to have on hand. I’m just so impressed with the album.

We took one of the best portraits and created the cover……..

Then inside, we told the story of this special day. The album is 12×12 and made with Italian leather. The pages are not photo paper or magazine like but much thicker (this is where I have to email my album maker to get details). When open, the album lays completely flush. The binding is flawless.

The following are samples of some of the album pages. My style is simple and clean. These are the 12×24 spreads, so you are looking at 7 examples of the left page and right page. I hope that makes sense?

and I thought it would finally share the 5×7 custom cards created last summer. Two styles since we could not decide on a favourite wedding portrait. (These pictures were not shared in the original wedding post since we wanted ‘save’ them for the cards.)

Everlasting, timeless memories preserved forever. Love it.

Alphabet Project

This summer, while at the cottage, I started my own alphabet in photographs. I had seen it online many times and loved the idea. I have been working on it for some time and was able to find others doing the same thing and we traded letter images. We were at a craft show on the weekend and I was surprised to see a booth of Alphabet Letters being framed for people on the spot. People jam packed this booth and sales looked brisk! It was great to hear Quin say that he wanted his own name done. Perfect… he’ll having a birthday later this week… so don’t tell him

Thank You & Announcement Cards

I’ve been meaning to share the original images from ‘card’ shoot we did for awhile now. Natasha was 9 days old here. I received many compliments, especially on the Thank you cards we sent out. So many of the gift bags were just so nice (as were the gifts!), I wanted to somehow incorporate them into a card. My original card idea was something like ‘thanks for the gift, it was great, but the best one was from God’ LOL, but that is just a given, so I kept it simple and just ‘watermarked’ the image on the inside and wrote personal notes over top. ~~I couldn’t bear to write on her head on the inside of any of the cards I wrote.~~

I should mention the fabulous LISA REICHMAN for her great design help. The front of the Thank You card is based on one of her announcement templates that I love.

And the Announcement;

Enlargements

I love the idea of enlarging a few photos this way and adding text. Wouldn’t this look great on a wall somewhere? This is an 8×10 but the possiblilites are so endless….

Check out Tina!

So neat to see my friend Tina use my photos in her newest set of Baby annoucements. She is very talented! You can check Tinas blog HERE

I’ve also been working on a few links on the left side bar, including a new link to designs/cards. Be sure to check it out.
