Christmas Card Frenzy!!

Ok...so I'm a little behind.  Christmas time always involves a lot of Frenzy around our house but family photo shoots and Christmas card orders make it an even busier time.  The Williams family donned their awesome bright colors and met me at SS Park for their family photo session for 2011.  Crissy knew she wanted to do the Merry and Bright Christmas them so I got excited and started working on the card.  It was unique and different to add all of the bright colors rather than the traditional reds and greens.  I thought it turned out awesome.
 

Another one of my favorite families contacted me about doing some Christmas Cards.  Siloam Springs  Park was our destination of choice and we had a blast getting shots of little Mr. Wyatt.  We went with a beautiful green and cream color theme on the cards with snowflakes all over the card's front and back.  This view is the front of their cards with the back of the card sharing the news that next year, there would be an additional family member in the holiday photo.  Congrats!!!!
 
When another good friend contacted me in November about doing Christmas cards with their photo shoot images, I immediately started snooping on her Facebook page to get an idea of possibly what design would work.  Lo and behold, I found this wonderful and incredible artwork by her father-in-law, Mark.  I've always been a fan of Mark's work so I knew that I wanted to include it as part of the Bradford calendar.  I loved it!
I enjoy designing and wish I had more hours each day to work on cards, photo editing, and more but my teaching schedule keeps me pretty busy.  Before I sign off for the day, I want to leave you with my absolute FAVE picture I took from this holiday season.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
