Notecards are in!

Hello everyone!
My notecards are in!!!!!!! I just picked them up from Alpha Graphics today. As soon as I get them scanned in I will put them up so you can all see them! =D

I have also finished another name flower! This one is unique because not only does it have the couple's last name, first names, names of all of their children...but it also has flower buds which are made up of the grandchildren's first names. The stem is of course a favorite saying and the leaves are words which they feel were important for their family (i.e.: "hope", "joy", etc...). I am going to attempt to add it to this post. It might get added later.
Until next time...Jamie

P.S. - I think the file is too big...I will have to add it in a little bit. =)

New Note Cards & Stationary

Hello everyone!
I am excited to report that I have finished designing a collection of note cards! They are at Alpha Graphics (my fave) right now! I think they are going to come out well...we'll see. =D Keep your fingers crossed. I am starting on a new wedding comic strip tonight and trying to finish a larger name flower by this weekend! FUN!!!
I'll talk to you all again soon!
Love - Jamie

Hello...

I wanted to mention that anyone can order custom made pieces from me. All I need is for you to:

1.) Email me what you would like (i.e.: a comic strip, flower, note cards, etc...)
2.) Email me what you want on it (i.e.: names, specific life experience, etc...)
3.) Scan in and email needed photos (if applicable)

This is really easy! I do the rest! You will receive the original and be able to use it as announcements, invitations, home decor, gifts, whatever you can think of!!!

I charge $10 per block on the comic strips including the title block (Maximum blocks 13).
The name flowers that I make are $30 base fee plus $5.00 per element (stem, leaf and names)

I also make personalized note cards and "thank you" notes, holiday cards, etc...

Robert's Family Flower

Hello everyone...
This is a flower that I created for the Robert's family. This flower is completely made up of names and words. In the enter of the flower is the word "Christ", because they are believers in Christ. The smaller set of petals is their last name, "Roberts." The larger petals are the first names of the parents and their kids..."Caroline, Elena, Ian, etc. The leaves are made up of words that mean a lot to them as followers of Christ: "Faith", "Hope" and "Love." The stem says "To glorify God and enjoy Him forever."

This was a really fun piece to do. I'm thrilled with the way that it turned out. Right now I am working on another floral piece but this next one will include grandchildren as buds along the stem! I'll share it with you when I finish it!

Julie and John

Julie and John are very close friends of my family. I offered to make this comic for them as their wedding gift. They have since ordered two more strips to be created, their engagement and their honeymoon! They had such a great time on their special day and I hope it shows in the comic strip.
The small bear in the comic strip was created because Julie has had one of these bears (which she lovingly calls "Rikki Bear") since she was a baby. Her original "Rikki Bear" however has been VERY loved through the years and is, if I might say so, quite disgusting. Therefore her parent's actually tracked down a brand new "Rikki Bear" for her. To say that she was touched is an understatement. It was very sweet.

Our First Nine Months

This comic strip represents our total pregnancy experience. This first block shows when we found out from the doctor that we were in fact pregnant! The next blog shows us at the doctor's office listening to the heart beat for the first time. Next, we are at my mom's house and I am showing my husband the ultrasound that shows we are definitely having a boy!!! The last blocks show us putting the crib together, getting toys and baby clothes from baby showers, and just some family time before the baby is born!

Our Wedding Comic

Hey everyone!
This comic strip is about when my husband, Mike, and I got married. It will be 10 years this May!!! I can't believe it. Where does the time go? Anyway, it was such a perfect day and the ceremony was outside of Mike's parents' house. We were surrounded by a woods and our immediate family and close friends. Perfect!
