Belle Announcements Designed Christmas Cards

If I designed your Christmas cards this year, thank you!!!!! I really appreciate your business!! Please consider posting this image to your social media pages.

Woo hoo!! New Inspiration!

New inspiration has arrived!! I have been in love with this photographer since the first photo I saw appear on my facebook stream. So I am super pumped to partner with Olivia Reed Photography for some of my new cards! Her beautiful photos are the inspiration behind my second wave of 2012 Christmas cards. I'll post them soon!

Olivia is an on-location photographer in Huntsville, Alabama. Her mini sessions are sold out in minutes so you won't be able to catch her again until her 2013 sessions start. I am anxiously waiting to set up mine!! Take a look at her facebook page and plan to support this talented photographer in 2013!

Check out these adorable twins!?! How cute are they?! Look for them on a 2012 Christmas card arriving soon!

Keep Calm and Take a Nap

I was asked to design this for a baby's nursery.  Such a cute idea.  I liked it so much, my daughter made  one for Mother's Day. It is made of blue construction paper and markers. Perfect. I think I like her's best but here is my version as well. If you are looking for a Keep Calm poster, please let me know. I can do most any design, color and size.  You can choose to print yourself or I can print the design for you.  I can print these on photo paper and mount them to matboard for durability.
