Special Delivery!

I am so excited to offer a new and exciting birth announcement design that has that "shabby chic" feel to it.  When I saw the simple vintage postcard look to this design, I knew I had to have it.  These birth announcements are press printed, double-sided and can be printed on bamboo card stock for a richer feel.  Prices for birth announcements can be viewed from my website under the RATES tab, and by clicking on custom cards and announcements.

Photo Purse Charm!

I found a new item to offer my clients...a custom photo purse charm.  I will be making these myself so I'm still waiting for all the pieces to come in but I thought I would give everyone a sneak peek.  I will be selling these for $35 and you can use any photograph taken by me and it will be set inside a 1x1" charm using archive resin.

There's another company offering this very thing for $38, but they charge another $9.95 for shipping.  So I wanted to be able to offer my clientele a similar product at a better price.  Let me know what you think!

Save Your Money on Frames!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love all things different.  When metal prints first came on the scene, I was overjoyed.  Then there were the really neat die cut cards...wow!!  Now two of my favorite new items have come together to make an exceptional way to present your treasured images...designer metal prints!  Here's a quick sample:

They can either be hung with a beehive hanger and bumpers, or hung with a metal stand out mount, or my favorite way with an easel back.  The color on these is just amazing!  And you can order them either with some great design graphics like you see above, or just as is.  You choose!

How much are these works of art, you ask?  Here's a quick run down on my pricing:

Fiji or Milan 8x8.......$ 65
Sydney 8x10.............$ 65
Benelux 8x11............$ 65
Fiji or Milan 12x12...$ 85
Sydney 11x14...........$125
Benelux 11x15.........$125

So how can you not afford to get this great way to showcase your family?  Your friends & family will go nuts on how amazingly cool these metal prints are.  I know I did.

Lenticular Photographs Are Here!

What the heck is a lenticular photograph, you ask!  It's one of those cool prints that change when you move them back and forth.  Check out my sample on the right to get an idea.  You've seen them before, but never knew that you could have one made with images from you or your family.  Well, now you can!

Why order a lenticular print?  There are many ways these prints can be used.  You can choose two or three different shots and have one cool image to share with friends & family showcasing them all.  Or maybe you would like to have several photographs of your child from when they were a baby, to being a toddler, to being a child.  See them grow up all over again with the waive of your print!

I'm looking at offering these prints at a great introductory price of $25 for a 3.5x5 inch print.  Let me know what you think of this new product with a comment below.  You know that I'm always on the look out for new and exciting products but your feedback is essential.  And hey, if you see something out there that you think is pretty cool and I should offer, just send me a line!

Vintage Portrait Special a Success!

Thanks to all those who participated in my Vintage Special on Saturday.  I got a lot of cute shots with some of my vintage props, and although is was a little chilly, I think everyone had a good time.  I wanted to share one of my favorite images with you.  This is Lindsay and Scott with their daughter Madilyn.  Aren't they a cute family!

Die Cut Boutique Cards Are Finally Here!

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love collecting gorgeous design templates for making unique and impressive cards.  Not to disappoint this Holiday Season, I spent most of today naming, resizing and uploading my latest holiday card designs.  So if you have a few minutes and are curious to see what all the fuss is about, check my new designs out at www.bluemelon.com/sliceoflife.

Just to give you a sneak peak, here are a couple of the designs.  My boutique cards are printed on both sides, come in an array of different papers (my favorite is the pearl finish...it has an irridescent quality to it!), and include envelopes.  So let me know what you think, and hey, if you already did your holiday card thing this year, just keep me in mind for next year.  I always run specials every October 1st thru November 15th and I think next year's special will include a session and 25 boutique cards.

Happy shopping and a warm & memorable holiday season to you & yours!
