Jill purchased this holiday card from my Etsy shop and I wanted to share it since it was such a great idea! Santa photos throughout the years!
Tim Colbert & Associates Holiday Card - 2014
I have had the pleasure of creating a holiday card for a firm in northern California that works with the diary industry. We started the first year with just a few caricatures of all of the employees and we've tried to do something a little different every year. Here you can see the cards we did for 2011 & 2012 and for 2013.
2014 was no exception and we had fun turning Mr. Colbert into Mr. Claus himself!
Our Holiday Card - 2014
I typically wait until the last minute to throw together a holiday card for my family. Last year's card didn't even get mailed until a few days before New Year's Eve.
This year I made a point to not procrastinate. My husband and I were already planning to take our two boys to a local studio called FotoFly that does wonderful Santa photos, so I made a point to schedule our session before Thanksgiving so I could get a head start on our holiday cards.
I love how they turned out!
It was my 5-year-old's idea to wear matching PJs with his little brother.
Since printing these two-sided was no extra charge from VistaPrint, I put this on the back:
Happiest Christmas!
Laura's Holiday Card - 2014
I've worked with Laura a few times on some truly fun and creative projects. Her holiday cards have become infamous for being really creative and unique. This year's card was no exception! It's amazing how much fun you can have with a little bit of Photoshop knowledge. Check out last year's holiday card too.
Laura wrote all of the text on this one and it’s hilarious! I can't wait to see what she comes up with this winter!
Check out all of the fun holiday cards Laura and I have worked on together.
Lauren's Birth Announcement
Lauren's mommy wanted to combine her birth announcement with their moving announcement and the timing on when they were getting these mailed meant we could also make this their family holiday card. Convenient!
Here's what we came up with (names and info have been changed to protect privacy).
Audrey's Birth Announcement
When Audrey was born, her mommy and daddy had JUST moved into their new house. They closed escrow on her due date! It was also a great time for them to combine both announcements with their holiday card. So that's what we did!
We included a Christmas greeting and the family's new address (no, that's not their actual address!).
Welcome to the world Audrey!
Tim Colbert & Associates Holiday Card - 2013
I got to work with the folks at Tim Colbert & Associates again this year to revamp their holiday card. This is such a treat to get to work on every year!
Of course, that's Mr Colbert himself hanging onto the back!
Our Holiday Card - 2013
Even though we took some great family photos in July of 2013 with my dear friend Cari Hollis, it took me forever to design a holiday card and get them printed and mailed. I was newly pregnant and dealing with all of the "fun" that comes with the first trimester. Knowing I wouldn't get them out before Christmas, I turned them into a Happy New Year card instead of a Christmas card. I thought they turned out pretty awesome.
VistaPrint continues to wow me with their print quality and affordability.
This design is one of the ones I have listed for sale in my Etsy shop. Check it out!
Happy New Year!!
