Assignment: MOM

What was fun about this one (besides it being for my parents) was the fact that my mom wasn't sure she even wanted to send Christmas cards...until she saw this. Like me, she had looked around at all the pre-made options, but none fit her needs. So, she told me which 3 pictures she wanted to use and let me take a shot at it.
My mom has a distinct style and I wanted it to come through in the cards. Apparently, I did a really great job. Thanks, Mom!

Christmas Card-er Than I Thought

I was recently asked to design a Christmas card for a business. "Sure!" I thought, yet when I went to tackle it, I found it a little confounding to come up with something I've never seen before. Let's face it: Christmas card sales could feed a small country because there is a style for everyone...almost literally. And it was a very big deal to me to make the card unique so my client didn't feel as if she should've just run to the nearest stationery boutique.

Anyway, it took me a while to feel successful, but I do...

Photo Christmas Card

Since the end of my year gets busier and busier, I try to do things as early as I can and still get away with it. I started browsing some of this year's photo Christmas cards that several places offer and liked some, but didn't love any. So, I decided to make a layout of my own.
