2010 Special: Custom Photo Cards

I don't know about you, but from where I sit, it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

You what that means: Christmas card season!
Do you want an extra cool photo card this year?

Bison Girl is happy to announce custom photo cards at the 2010 price of $25 per design.

Step 1: You supply the photo, desired text, and artistic direction (if you have a preference)
Step 2: I design a fun and festive card that spotlights your photo(s)
Step 3: You receive a high resolution digital .jpg file that you can have printed anywhere and/or post to Facebook.

Photo cards are normally 4x8, 5x7, 6x7, or 6x8 inches, but I can design to any size.

Sample Cost:
$25.00 Bison Girl Custom Card Design
$14.50 Sam's Club charge for 50 4x8 photo cards, including envelopes
That adds up to only $39.50 for 50 custom cards!

Fine print: You absolutely must own the rights to the photo(s) you supply. This means that you personally took them or you have written permission from the professional photographer. Photo retouching (acne, red eye, color correction, special effects) can be added starting at $15 per photo. Prices apply to single-sided photo cards ordered before December 31, 2010.

This special is good for custom engagement/birth announcement/New Year/Thanksgiving (or just about anything) cards too!

Check out a couple of my past card designs in my portfolio.

Thanks to the wonderful world of technology, you need not live in Bismarck, or even North Dakota to take part :)

Easter 2009

After reading the wonderfully thoughtful comments about my Six Crosses quilt, I realized that I never posted about Easter and my confirmation.

I could never even begin to explain and describe all the wonderful details of the day so I'll try and touch on a few of the highlights.

The Mass when I became an official member of the Catholic community was at 9 pm on Saturday, April 11. That afternoon and evening, Corey and I hosted an open house at our home. It was a great evening of fun and celebration. Thank you to all our friends and family who joined us (and helped prepare food). At about 8:30 pm, we headed to the church. It was fairly mild outside, so Corey and I walked - it was such a peaceful and relaxing journey to church. 

I was one of five people being confirmed at the service. The Holy Saturday Catholic Mass consists of many different parts and was about two hours long at our church. It was a beautiful Mass - lots of candles, lots of singing, blessing of the Holy Water and fire. After Mass, Ascension Parish (our church) hosted a breakfast (yes, at 11 pm). Although it was well past my bedtime, it was lots of fun.

This was such a special day and one that I will remember for the rest of my life.

I have to apologize - I was so busy that day I forgot to take any photos. Thanks to my bonus mom, Andrea for snapping a few for me :)

Before Mass: my Grandparents (Darwin and Irene), my sister (Caitlyn), me, and Corey

At breakfast: my bonus parents (Corey's parents - Andrea and Gary), me, and Corey

At breakfast: my grandparent's best friends (Rick and Rosemary), me, and Corey

Our tree has a skirt.

This evening I put the finishing touches on the tree skirt. It's so darn stinking cute - I just love how it looks under our tree. I had so much fun making it and using many of my scraps in the process. It is fun looking at the pieces of red and green fabric and remembering which quilt I used it in and how long ago it was. Some of the fabric I used in high school. The binding (tiny outer border) red dotted fabric was used for the backing of Jesse and Megan's wedding quilt just a few months ago. 

Here's a close up of the stitching ... I'm still learning how to stipple (free motion curvy designed) quilt, so this is by no means perfect.

Recognize the red dotted fabric?

How about some red plaid fabric (also from Jesse and Megan's wedding quilt)?
