Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from my family to yours. I hope you have a wonderful holiday with all of your loved ones.

Ethridge Family Christmas Card

Growing up with just the two of us, my sister and I have always been close. For the past 9 years, she's been living in Missouri and I have been hoping and praying for her and her husband to move back to Minnesota. This past summer, I got my wish and they were both able to move up here. I was really excited to take a few pictures for them and design a Christmas card for their first holiday season in snowy Minnesota.

Merry Christmas! It's not too late to send out a custom family Christmas card. Email snapdragoncard@gmail.com for more information.

Family Christmas Card - The Shannons

Besides graphic design, another passion of mine is photography. Needless to say, I was quite excited when I got to play photographer for the day and take pictures of the sweetest family, and good friends of mine, the Shannons.

I never realized how tricky it can be to take photos of a baby. Mira behaved perfectly, she just never wanted to look at the camera! In the end, we got lots of great shots of this adorable family. Here are a few samples of Christmas cards with photos from their shoot. (In case you are wondering, Anka is Croatian and the second line says Merry Christmas in Croatian).

Wedding Thank You Card

I helped Kelly and Ross design the invitation for their fall wedding. They wanted something simple and full of elements from nature like leaves and birch trees, which was very fitting for this outdoorsy couple. Here's what their invites looked like:

After the wedding, every couple must face the dreaded task of writing the Thank You cards. Kelly asked me to help design a thank you card that would match their wedding invitations with a simple design. The thank you card is a great place to put a picture from your wedding and tie in the themes you used at the wedding.

50th Anniversary Invitation

When an old co-worker of mine asked me to help design a 50th wedding anniversary invitation, I was more than excited. Celebrating 50 years of marriage is a wonderful milestone. In order to showcase their many years together, I decided to design the invite with a timeline that showcases the couple throughout the years.

Autumn Maple Wedding Invites

Kathy and Jack are planning a small family wedding ceremony followed by a reception with friends and family. They wanted a wedding invitation that was simple and subtle, but would still reflect the warm feelings of fall. The maple leaf invitation and accompany RSVP card is classic and not overly ornate, reflecting the mood the couple hopes to evoke for their upcoming November nuptials. Congratulations Kathy and Jack!

Fall Wedding Invitations

Fall is the perfect time of year for a wedding. I have always had a soft spot in my hear for fall, when the leaves are changing and the air is crisp. If you are going to have an autumn wedding, embrace the beauty of fall in the theme of your invitations by drawing from the colors in nature like rust, maroon, gold and brown. Here are just a few samples of autumn-themed invitations.

Wedding Photo Thank You Postcard

Writing thank you cards after a wedding can be a daunting task, and it can be expensive to purchase Thank You cards, envelopes and stamps. Instead of sending a boring, traditional Thank You card purchased from Target, why not send a postcard that is personalized with photos from your wedding? Everyone loves to see professional wedding photos, but you probably won't have the chance to show everyone your wedding album. A photo postcard is the perfect way to thank your guests and let them see some of the beautiful photographs from your wedding.
