 I'm Sarah.  This blog, like me, is kind of all over the place.  A little bit of this, a little bit of that.  Basically it chronicles my life and my interests:  homeschooling and parenting, clean eating, sewing, photography and art, living slow, graphic design, music, growing my faith, home decor... and anything else that might catch my fancy!

Custom Cards 

One of my absolute favorite things to do:  create custom cards for people.  It's such a joy and challenge to try to get to know someone to create a design that they will love and perfectly express the sentiments they want to send to loved ones. 

I recently did a card for a family that had moved this year, are expecting their second child, and wanted to send greetings to family and friends.  When I have Leann's photos to work with- as I did this time- I know that I'll have excellent images to start with.  I also knew from the mom's descriptions of her aesthetic preferences that we were already on the same wave length.

Here is the card that we worked together to make.  I must say, I'm pretty excited about it! 

It's a 5"x5" inch trifold card.

outside spread- back, middle, and front {in that order}

 

inside spread- left to right

Sarah! We love this holiday card! They came elegantly packaged in the mail yesterday. We can hardly wait to share the beautiful card you designed for us with friends and family. It expresses all that we wanted to convey and much more. Thank you so much for your creativity and excitement. It was great to work with you and I greatly appreciate the quick turn around. What a fantastic keepsake; we will treasure it always.
