HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Our family 'marked' the day with Paper Locket bookmarks featuring our Golden Doodle, Macy, and her puppy love, Cruise! I know - not on the website yet...oops!

We'll just call it product testing. And yes, they turned out beautifully on the amazing pearl paper.

More amazing was the wedding we had for the dogs last summer. Maybe the wedding was just a clever way to become 'related' through marriage to our very FUN neighbors!! I better get busy designing that dog-gone wedding book.

Now go get kissed!

It's time for the HOLIDAYS - so order your holiday cards!!

I hope everyone had a special Thanksgiving with family and friends. And now, suddenly, it's time to plan for the holidays! Some of Paper Locket's customers have already sent their cards out, and many have them in their envelopes ready to go... Now that's organized!  It's not too late to order - see our delivery schedule.
 

henninger photography was an absolute blessing to many this summer and fall with her outdoor photography/card packages. She tells me there might be a few more dates available before December 10th.

As for my family's card...the same night I told my husband I didn't think I'd have time to get our card designed, I magically finished them! Must've been that 'look' he gave me. Thanks to henninger photography, we had so many wonderful photos to choose from. (Take a peek > ) 

What a wonderful feeling to cross that off the list. I'm sure you know what I mean!
I'm looking forward to designing many more unique holiday cards using your favorite photos. Remember that any design can be altered to fit your number of photos and personal style.

It's November!

Wait...it's almost mid November - already! Before we know it, holiday chaos will be amongst us.

Well, I guess I've got a head start in that department! But I absolutely love this time of year - creating personal holiday cards out of special photos is quite an honor. It's exciting to see how families change from year to year. 

The "Linear" card to the left was actually from 2006.

Take a look at how these two went from toddlers to hot shots! Yikes!

I just calculated the delivery dates for Holiday Cards (see it here) and there are plenty of days left to get your order in. The sooner the better though! I know everyone wants to cross something BIG off their list.

Looking forward to receiving your photos and holiday card order! Be sure to look at some of the most recent designs in our 2007 holiday card gallery!

Holiday Card Designs - just added to the gallery!

What's going on in the studio? New designs are 'going on'! Here is a peak at a few new ones just added to our holiday gallery. More and more to come!!

Remember, any design can be altered to fit your photos, and design preferences - like favorite fonts and colors.

(above - Sassy & below - Gracious + a variation)

In the first two designs, the images have been altered to appear a bit faded. These would really look great on metallic photo paper! {images provided by melissa henninger photography}

 

A simple variation to the Gracious design. Many more examples of design variations will soon be added to the website. Check back often!
Off to design-land!
