Striped Baby Boy Photo Birth Announcement - {Free Photo Birth Announcement}

This is another announcement (4x6) that I made a few years ago and just forgot about. I think the thing I like the most about this design is the colorful stripes in the middle of the page.

I found the picture of the little guy on the Internets. But I am sure that you could recreate this picture pretty easily at home. Maybe Michelle might be willing to do a post about DIY baby photography.

The only thing you need to do is customize the babies information. It really shouldn't take more than 15 minutes for you to start and complete this little announcement.

After you download the PSD file you'll need to download the fonts I used. The two fonts for the announcement are Halo Handletter and Geo Sans Light. Both are downloadable from DaFonts.com

Photo Holiday Christmas Card - Peace on Earth {Free Christmas Card}

I know Halloween isn't over yet, but I'm just getting more and more excited for the Holiday Season.

Today I wanted to share with you a Christmas card that I created for you to download for free. I borrowed the picture from Michelle's Photography work. It's a picture of her and her family that she did. Pretty talented huh?

It's pretty simple but I really like how the Peace on Earth turned out.

You have four colors to choose from red, blue, dark green, and light green. Plus two sizes to pick a 4x6 or a 5x7.

The file is in a Photoshop format since you need to be able to change the family names and the picture. You just need to download one file and it will contain all the different elements you need to finish your Christmas card.

If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment with your name and email and I will be happy to answer it.

One more thing....You will need to download and install the font Halo Handletter from DaFont.com (pictured below) in order to change the wording of the font.  Otherwise Photoshop will try to find you a replacement font and it never does a great job at finding a new one.

Enjoy and as always, it's free.

Save the Date - Baby Style {Free Printable Card}

I am sorry that we've been gone the past little while. I have a pretty decent excuse that I'll be sharing with you today.

I am 16 weeks pregnant. You would think that by now my morning sickness would have disappeared, but, alas, it has not. I spend most of my time at work actually working and normally during my limited free time, (bad worker, I know) I work on Loving Life ideas, but because of the 24 hour morning sickness I tend to sit and stare at my computer screen, during my free time, hoping the feelings will subside. It never does. Now you know why I have not worked on any projects for a while.

Today I wanted to present to you the baby announcement I made for my family, announcing the arrival of our precious little monster. I thought it was a creative way to announce a pregnancy.

I present to you my feeble attempt at being cute and what not.

I printed it and put it in a frame (intending to replace the save the date card with an actual baby photo) and presented it to my mom...thats how I wanted it to happen but it didn't quite go like that. You can read more about what happened here at my personal blog.

Today I have for you a photoshop file for you to download and adjust as needed. You might have to do some kerning to get the date to be inline with the save the date. You'll figure it out.

The file is intended for a standard 4x6 picture frame.

Enjoy and as always it's free.

Princess Party Invitation

Here is a princess party that I designed. I think it's really cute. I'm thinking of doing one with the same concept for a 4th of July party.

Again this is a PSD file so you'll need a program that can view and edit PSD files. I found this lovely paragraph from ehow.com about viewing PSD files without the Adobe product.

If Photoshop is not available, the PSD files are compatible with other free image-editing programs. Some of these include Picasa 3.6, from Google. The GIMP, or the GNU Image Manipulation Program, from The GIMP Team, and Paint.Net, which is based on Microsoft's .NET Framework. All of these can open PSD files to view or edit them as if they were a native format. But they do not have a separate viewer to simply view the files.

Both are free and, from my understanding, have a small learning curve and shouldn't be too hard to figure out.



For the main text of the invitation I used a font called "Teen" that can be downloaded from dafont.com.

For the "you're invited to a Princess party"text  I used the font titled "my own topher" it can be downloaded from Kevin and Amanda's Free Scrapbook Fonts page at from kevinandamanda.com. Can I just say how much I love all those fonts. That is all. I simplified/rasterized the type layer so that you don't have to edit it. But it's an incredible font and I suggest you download it.
