2009 Seasonal Cards

christmashowtorequest

For $20, I will add your personal photo(s) and personalization information to the 5x7 card design of your choice (see the designs below).  After you email me your card choice, text info and photo(s), I will send you a proof of your card usually within 24 – 48 hours.  Once you approve your design, I will email you the high resolution card and you may then print as many cards as you would like using the printing service of your choice (see quick and easy recommended printing services below)!

REQUEST A CARD:  jasonandtera@gmail.com

christmasprintingservices

I recommend the following printing services for the cards:  ScrappingSimply.com, possibly Shutterfly.com and Costco.  If you choose to use Scrapping Simply or Shutterfly, the cards will be shipped directly to your home and envelopes are included with your order.  If you choose to use Costco, I can offer suggestions for online sources for envelopes (last year I paid less than $20 for fifty cards at Costco).  I will send you super quick and easy instructions on how to use each service and how to order your cards in MINUTES!  It’s EASY…I promise!  ; )

christmasadditionalinfo

I am able to alter the text on the cards to reflect the message of your choice.  I’m very sorry, but I am not offering a print and ship service this year, however, you may upload your card design to ScrappingSimply.com or Shutterfly.com for ordering and you can have the cards and envelopes shipped to your home for a very reasonable price.  Also, I am not creating custom cards at this time (cards that are completely unique to each individual family)…I am only offering the card designs that you see below.  I am taking card orders through December 18th…however, if you order a design past the first week in December, you might want to print your cards locally instead of using an online printing service.  All of the cards were created by me using digital papers and elements from Design by Dani.  I have printed each card in advance…each card design will print beautifully if printed correctly!  I always recommend, if at all possible, to print a SAMPLE card FIRST before you order tons of cards…you will want to make sure that the printing service of your choice is up to your standards and prints the cards correctly.  Thank you for understanding!  : )

A Fun Adoption Portfolio and Seasonal Cards

EDITED TO SAY:  I have been having trouble receiving emails for the past week.  If you sent me an email in the past week and I have not responded, I am so sorry…please resend!  Thanks!  : D

When you adopt domestically, an adoption portfolio book is very important.  It is a book that represents your family!  It is all about who you are, how you live, what is important to you and what your values are. 

I love working on adoption portfolio books…it’s an honor and there is so much heart that goes into each and every one.  I recently completed an adoption portfolio for the Shelton family…what a special family! 

Sheltons…  It was an absolute true pleasure to be a small part of your special journey!  May you hear good news very, very soon!  Please keep in touch!  : D

A few pages…

I have been busy, busy!  I have been working on seasonal card designs all week.  It is my hope to be able to offer them again this year!  I hope to have new cards and ordering information up within a week or so!  This is the only time of the year that I offer cards.  Here’s a sample of what I have been working on…

Not So Random Stuff

“Nothing in life is random, there's a purpose and a reason for everything that we encounter. That's the reason for this blog: to capture and remember the not so random occurrences, the rich events that make life what it is.”

Don’t you just love that?  That is what Gina, the author of the blog “Not So Random Stuff” , has to say regarding the purpose of her blog.  Gina’s blog is SO inspiring…  The posts are all about faith, family and making a house a home.  And, she features truly wonderful photos in her blog posts!  Her blog is the latest blog on my “must read” list!  And, I am SO in love with the design that we put together…check it out:

You just have to visit Gina’s blog in person!  I think that you will decide that you must add “Not So Random Stuff” to your list of reads!

Thanks again, Gina!  You are a dream to work with!

God bless,

Tera

A New Look for Susie Harris

Have you visited www.susieharrisblog.com?  If not, you should! Susie’s blog is filled with inspirational DIY projects and design ideas for your home. Susie also has a very cool Etsy shop that is filled with all sorts of fun goodies including customized family name signs (I have one hanging in my kitchen…love it!) 

Susie sent me and email recently and said that she was ready to give her blog a new look.  Although we will miss the beautiful blue from her previous blog design, her new design is lovely…it's fresh, clean and oh-so-Susie.  : )

Below, you will see the previous design that Susie and I designed together…I will admit, I have some serious love for this design…hee hee…but everyone needs a change now and then…  ; D

And, here is the NEW Susie Harris blog design…

The banner was created using a photograph that Susie took of one of the baskets in her home.  Isn’t this a fun idea for a banner?

Thanks again, Susie for trusting me with your blog!  It is always so much fun to work with you…you are so creative and talented!  I love trying out new and fun ideas for your blog!

God bless, Tera
