festive flowers

red is my favorite color, and flowers are one of my favorite objects in nature. so, naturally, when the holidays roll around, i love seeing all of the big, beautiful red poinsettias everywhere. and, of course, my holiday line would not be complete without a few poinsettia designs. here are some samples, and also a sample of one of my favorite cards. it doesn't have poinsettias, but it does have flowers, just to prove that flowers are not just for spring! be sure to check out all of my other holiday designs at somethingaboutstationery.com.

more photos = more fun!

today i am posting samples of some cards i have created which have several photos. even though these are the only designs that show multiple photos, any of the cards offered can be customized to fit any number of photos. that is one of the benefits of ordering custom cards! all of my layouts are customizeable. you choose the design, the number of photos and the greeting you would like to create a holiday card that is unique to you. once you upload your photo(s) and place your order i will send email back your proof within 1-2 days. so start choosing your favorite photo

(or photos) of your family and customize your card today! http://www.somethingaboutstationery.com/

patterns and plaids

i like using patterns and plaids in my layouts. i enjoy the way the shapes come together and repeat to create a cohsive, symmetrical design. patterns can be played up using contrasting or complementary colors, or kept simple by using a monochromatic palate. either way, patterns and plaids make a bold, yet elegant statement. here are a few of my latest holiday cards using patterns and plaids, and be sure to check out my entire line at somthingaboutstationery.com.
