It’s been busy lately! No posts since April. Gosh…not good. I like to update my blog with new stuff often, but I guess life just got in the way. For all the parents out there…you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Here are some graduation announcement cards I have worked on for some of my seniors. A lot of the cards have the same basic design, but are tweaked a little to fit each persons personality. One of my clients told me jokingly that she wanted to order all of them. Fun! I wish you guys all the best.
Enjoy! Feel free to comment. : )
I had the pleasure of making quite a few Christmas Cards this season. Here are a few. Enjoy! Also, wishing everyone a very merry Christmas and everything good for the new year. God Jul og Godt Nytt År!
Laura called me to come out and get some pictures of her kids. I had fun chasing the kids around. Gavin was as willing as Gunnar was not. Gunnar wanted to drive the ATV around instead. Forget doing pictures, this kid is a machine buff. : ) We had fun and got a variety of fun images. For their 4×8 Christmas card I did a variety of styles and Laura immediately went for the retro look. Thanks for the fun day!
This little princess was her mother’s favorite for the 5×7 folded watercolor card. It turned out beautifully! Kenny herself came up with the wording, which I think is soooo sweet!
Here is the inside that folds down. Aren’t the kids just yummy!
Artsy feet. Too cute. I especially love how Pauley’s shorts look so short and Gabe’s shorts look soooo oversized. Let’s not overlook the baby chubs on Libby’s arms. Sweet!
A 4×8 card from one of this years weddings. Natasha’s favorite shots are all included. Even the horses in the background. Great memories from an amazing day!
Here is another one of my options.
…and this one.
My sister-in-law called me up, as usual : ). “Hey, Kathrine, would it be any trouble to make a card for us?” Of course not! I love making cards and took the cute shot she emailed, enhanced it and made three different ideas. Both her kids and ours agreed on this design. This card is a 5×5 and as always metallic. I LOVE metallic!
The first time I met Heather and Abe and their kids I did pictures for little Theron. He’s not so little anymore and this time I got to photograph the whole family. First we went up to a cabin and did some shots by appletrees and tall weeds. What a blast! Later I went to their hose to do a couple of headshots. Young kids are always challenging, because you have about two minutes to get what you need…then the’re DONE! : ) Big brother Joey and Theron were awesome and I had a hard time putting my camera down. Thanks for playing with me! This is the front to their 5×7 folded watercolor card. The blue turned out just as bright and blue as I had imagined. The icy blue is Heather’s favorite color as well. Cool!
Here is the inside. I just love the wording Heather added. Gotta love those toes!
What a sweeeeet moment with the boys! I have to do something artsy with this shot later. It is just too cute!!!
This is our card this year. I wanted a little space to add a personal message to each and every one. Usually I add a letter with updates from the past year, but this year I just didn’t have, or take, the time. There’s always next year! I enjoy getting them, so I’ll do my best.
…and the backside.
…is what we wish for you this Holiday Season.
I put together a beautiful Christmas card for Kenny with her words. On the front is a shot of her daughter that just looked, well, heavenly. After putting the card together she also asked me to make an 8×10 of the same shot, but to make it different, just for Libby. Here are some of my ideas.
The idea for the butterfly illustrations were taken from the actual designs on the bottom of Libby’s dress.
Here again, details from her dress.
Here is the Christmas card. A 7×5 folded, printet on watercolor paper.

Thanks for letting me photograph your beautiful family! My treat, for sure! : )
Rachel and Christian, my niece and nephew, have a beautiful little boy – Christian. He is not quite one yet, but Rachel is planning his party. Rachel brought him over one morning and my kids helped get his attention. As everyone knows, kids that age have just figured out that there is so much more to this world than sitting around looking cute. We had a fun time.
As soon as I get the text to put on the back I will be sending it off to be printed on a watercolor card. I’ll add the back as soon as it is finished.
Here is Jennifer’s graduation announcement. I added some texture and thought it turned out fun.
Here is the Christmas card I made for my sister and her family this year. One of my favorites.
