Gotta love my next door neighbors!

My neighbor mentioned once a while ago how she wanted to re-create images of her kids that she had done about 3 years ago. I was all for it! We figured while we were at it, we'd go ahead and take some family pictures to use in Christmas cards. So here's a break in my NYC adventure to give you the K Family!

Went back to my roots for this one ;)




My kids love their kids... and their youngest is just a ham. I love that girl!

50 years together

203 of 365: Love


Mema and Pa have been married 50 years!! We had a little mini session on the fourth of July so they could have a photo for the paper, and I made them an invite to the get-together they're having. I'm pretty please how it turned out!





We made minor changes to the back of the card, but overall this was the look. Congrats to them!!

Our card this year

Since Christmas is literally around the corner, I figure I can share our card without ruining the surprise. The most commen response upon seeing the card... "Are all those kids yours?!?!" My answer is always the same "Every single one of them" :D I don't know how I'll ever top it! Merry Christmas!!

My baby is really one!

So here's Claires invite I made for her (I think all of the family has gotten theirs by now... if not, SURPRISE! This is coming in the mail to you!) Just in case the quote is too small to read, it says:

Girls are made of sugar 'n spice

Everything sweet & everything nice

Girls are ruffles, bonnets and bows

Dimpled smiles and dancing toes

They're tears and giggles, dolls and curls

Thats how it is with little girls

When I showed Abby the card at Thanksgiving, she said she wanted the same thing for her graduation invites... she meant the naked pose, but the more I think about it.... How cool would it be to do it with all your school pictures! Like in this card, we have one picture for every month of Claires life... we could do one school picture for every year! And the center picture be the senior picture! Abby you reading this??? I know Mema makes you ... I think it's an awesome idea, and we should run with it! And if you say no, I'll just drive to Upper and get the pictures from Mema herself (she'd hand them over, I'm sure of it!)

the holidays begin

While talking to my stepmom on the phone about the photos she wanted to order, she mentioned ordering a bunch of this one photo to use in her Christmas Cards. I love designing cards, and don't get the opportunity to do it as often as I'd like, so I asked her if I could give designing hers a shot. She loves them!

I keep joking that I'm going to try to insert my children in every card I make (watch out!) ;) This is actually the first time I've made a folded card, and I'm really excited to see how it turns out.
