Krahn Family - Milestone cards

Posted by Crystal's Blog

Kristel Bueckert has been keeping me busy with photo card designs lately. It has been so much fun and I'm really enjoying creating each individual card. Here are 4 cards that I designed for the Krahn family. They wanted a card for the kids together and one for each child individually. In the samples provided to the client there were samples that had themes for each card that flowed with each of the other cards. It was something that I have never done before, but it was another interesting challenge to make the cards flow together, yet give them each their own look. I love taking on a challenge!

Wyatt Barkley - 1 year card

Posted by Crystal's Blog

There are not enough words to describe how cute this little guy is. This card is one of my absolute favorites to this date. It's such a fun card and if you notice that in the main picture there are stuffed animals that are characters from the Dr. Seuss books....hence the theme of the card. This card actually came together completely by accident, but I love it when I'm playing around and magic happens.

Jennifer & Devin - Social Tickets

Posted by Crystal's Blog

Jennifer and Devin approached me about doing social tickets for their wedding. I showed them a sample of a social ticket that I had seen and they liked it so I created it very similar. Here is the final result!!

Eric & Amanda - Wedding Invitation

Posted by Crystal's Blog

Here is an invitation that I designed for this couple recently. It was something new that I am trying with a different concept to the photo invitations. This is a double sided invitation that was printed on card stock paper. It was then folded with a 3/4 fold in order to reveal the three pictures on the side. This card was so much fun but we had a lot of headaches with the printing process. It was a learning process in order to continue improving on the services that I provide. The couple was extremely patient with the whole process and I am so thankful. They were absolutely fabulous!! Thank you Amanda and Eric for allowing me to design your wedding invitations for you and God bless you in your marriage!

Piper Vimy - Birth Announcement Card

Posted by Crystal's Blog

I have been waiting to post this card for a few weeks now. I always wait about 3 weeks before posting the cards that I make so that I don't spoil the surprise. This is probably my favorite Birth Announcement card to this day. This little girl is so precious and she just melted my heart with her sweet pictures. Just take a look and I'm sure you'll fee the same. :)

Jennifer Klassen Photography - Logo Design

Posted by Crystal's Blog

Wow, this project was something that definitely challenged me and stretched me creatively. I really like projects like this because I like to be challenged and learn new things. I was so happy with the end result. The first one is the one that she really liked the best and the others were top favs which may be used in the future. It was a real pleasure working with Jennifer! Thanks for allowing me to help you with your new look.

Dane - Two year card

Posted by Crystal's Blog

I think for kids, one of the best places to take pictures is the playground/park. It's just loaded with color. This little sweet heart looks like he really loves his Thomas engine and once again Kristel Bueckert has just captured those sweet, innocent moments of him playing.

Seth - One year card

Posted by Crystal's Blog

This little one year old is so handsome. He will definitely be a heartbreaker some day. I just love the green in the one picture which allowed me to play around with that color and I think it really makes the card stand out. Enjoy.

Gavin - Birth Announcement card

Posted by Crystal's Blog

Babies just melt my heart and this one was no exception!! Kristel Bueckert has an amazing way of capturing how precious and sweet that little bundle is. I also feel so flattered that the last few families have had trouble deciding which card to choose, so they end up choosing two cards to get printed. I usually only post the ones that clients have ordered and the past few posts have included two card designs. Thank you to all the families I have had the pleasure of designing cards for. It truly is an honor. Here is baby Gavin!!

This little guy looks like he is a ball of fun. His expressions are priceless. My favorite pictures are the ones with the firetruck. He looks so proud to be sitting in the truck and wearing the firefighter hat! Love it!

Josiah - Birth Announcement card

Posted by Crystal's Blog

This card is very special to me and I felt so honored to be asked to design this birth announcement. My husband's cousin who lives in Alberta asked me to design their birth announcement for Josiah and I was obviously thrilled. He is such a sweetheart! Both of our families have two children and they are both close the same age which is another special bond that we share. Thanks for allowing me to design this card for you!!

Vitamin Experiment

Posted by Crystal's Blog

This is something totally out of the realm of design, but I am also a Usana Distributor and I was curious to see how the Usana Mega Antioxidant compared to other multi vitamins on the market in lower price ranges. The results are very interesting and it's definitely worth the watch!! Enjoy.

Brielle Faith - Birth Announcement

Posted by Crystal's Blog

This card is near and dear to my heart because this is my beautiful daughter! The pictures were once again done by Lindsayrenee Photography and as always, they are priceless! I absolutely love pink and brown (you should see her closet of clothes).
