Koen - 6 month card

Posted by Crystal's Blog

Isn't this little guy just adorable?!? I especially love the picture with him in the tie!! Lindsay Renee did another fantastic job of photographing this little guy and I once again had the pleasure of designing photo cards for another one of her clients!! Here are the 4 cards that I designed for his 6 month old card. The mom couldn't decide on just one so she choose to get 1/2 of her order with the brown card and the other 1/2 of her order with the blue argyle. What a thrill it is for me to know that someone can't decide because they love so many of the samples that they receive!! It is truly a wonderful feeling to know that I can create these designs for a family.

Christmas Eve is tomorrow and I'd just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! I will be posting my Christmas card gallery next week.

New Blog address

Posted by Crystal's Blog

Welcome to my NEW blog address!!

I made up some business cards recently and my old blog address was too long to fit onto the business card properly which is one of the reasons why I created a new blog. This new blog is also easier to remember because it's shorter and consists of my business name. Thank you for making this transition with me and I look forward to your continued support! Keep checking back for the 2008 Christmas card gallery that will be posted in a few weeks. I've been busy designing cards and it's not slowing down which has been awesome!!

Have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hildebrand Family

Posted by Crystal's Blog

These pictures seemed to give me a tough time at the very beginning. For some reason the creative ideas just weren't flowing, but as I started playing around with the pictures I started coming up with more and more ideas and I didn't want to stop designing!! The kids are just so cute and I absolutely love the colors in the little girls shirt. That made it even more fun to work with all those colors. I LOVE the cards that I ended up creating and the family was also very pleased and will likely be coming back in the next few weeks for Christmas cards!!

Hiebert Family - Christmas card 2008

Posted by Crystal's Blog

I have now started designing Christmas Cards and first on the list is my family. If you'd like to have Christmas cards ordered for your family I'd love to do that for you. Please email me at ctdesigns@mts.net and I would be more than happy to design something for you also! These are great to hand out at Christmas in place of your regular card. It's personalized with your pictures and you can also add any quote, scripture or message on the card if you'd like to do that.

Dalliah Raine - Birth Announcement

Posted by Crystal's Blog

I had the wonderful blessing of designing these photo cards for some good friends of mine. I became so caught up in creating cards that I ended up designing 4 card samples for them. I feel so blessed and honored that people allow me to express their emotion and love for their children and family in a photo card. I feel that every card is individual to each family and I try to portray the uniqueness of each family in all the cards I design.

Reid - 2 year card

Posted by Crystal's Blog

Of course I think this is a gorgeous card because it has the pictures of my son in them. It's always so much fun when I can actually create cards for my own family and it has a deeper sentiment. The beautiful photography was done by Lindsay Renee {Photography} and what a great experience with a patient & talented photographer!
