{NEW Christmas DESIGNS} How To Order & Print Christmas Photo cards

I LOVE the holiday season as it is MY favorite time of year, as I am sure it is for most! But this year, I have especially LOVED designing for it & wanted to share some of the FUN, modern designs I have added to my shop for YOU this season.

These are the 4 NEW designs I have added this year. Have you ever done photo cards before? People you send them to LOVE them as they enjoy seeing pics of your children or family. 

It is really simple to order & ALL DESIGNS can be CUSTOMIZED with YOUR colors & text & is INCLUDED in the pricing.

Introducing my 2011 Christmas Photo Card Designs:

You can choose this "From Our Family to Yours" argyle design

Or choose this "Have Yourself a Merry little Christmas" chevron design

And this "Wishing you LOVE" photo card design

And finally this "Wishing you a Merry Christmas" traditional photo card design

If you want to order photo cards this year, here's some tips on how you can:

Step 1: select the design you wish to purchase & add it to your cart

Step 2: in the notes section - request YOUR color combo & type out the text of exactly what you want it to say

Step 3: find your most FAB photo & attach it to your order (uncropped & 300 pixels is BEST) or email it to me at laura@eyecandyeventdetails.com

Step 4: You will receive a proof from me within 24-48 hours with ALL of the requests you have made for your approval

Step 5: I send you the file right away (after approval) & just simply upload it to your favorite photo processing site & pick up when ready!

It REALLY is THAT simple. People have asked me who I recommend for printing & I would suggest someplace like Sam's or Costcos's as they do a fabulous job & many people have told me the same thing (and their prices are GREAT!)

Some additional design choices from last year:

The "Mod Snowflake" photo card design

The "Penguin" photo card design

And the last one,  "Damask" photo card design

Have a custom design request in mind? I can do that too - just email me for a quote. Please let me know if you have any questions about ordering any of the designs as I would be more than happy to help you out. 

  Just post it here or send me an email at laura@eyecandyeventdetails.com

So which one is YOUR favorite? I would love to hear! =)

Thanks for being here & I hope you have a fabulous holiday season!

{PRESS LOVE - a NEW gig} LOVING my job & all the great opportunities

I LOVE parties! I LOVE designing! I especially LOVE weddings!

So did you happen to see my contribution last week to Best Wedding Sites e-magazine?

REAL PARTY :: Halloween Party & Dessert IDEAS

Halloween is almost here . . are YOU ready?

I wanted to share some ideas on how to have a fabulous Halloween get-together with some friends and (of course) I used the GLAM Halloween "Shock-tail" collection from my shop.

There's still time to send out an invite - just pay, print, write in the info & send this week! 

Plus I have made it really simple for you as the whole collection, including the invite is on sale and you can get them here

Next is planning the decor! 
Some simple things you can do to dress up the party. Use lots of decorated pumpkins. Grab some candles and try to use what you already have on hand. Plus you can use the artwork from the collection to create graphics to help with the decor too.

A few spiders that are fun add interest to your table along with the tissue pom bouquet, that I made. Some colored hanging tissue poms ALWAYS look good plus I added a paper lantern too to keep the color scheme throughout the decor.

I made this FREE Chevron Halloween Subway Art that you can download for FREE here, put it in a frame & add some glitter pumpkins (found in the dollar bin at Target) to add an inexpensive display.

One of my favorite things to make for Halloween, that's inexpensive & looks good, is to get some mini pumpkins, spray adhesive on them & apply glitter. I went a step further here, & added a feather up near the stem along with a mini glitter spider.

Next up TREATS! 
Every party has to have some sort of candy bar - especially at a Halloween party! Keep it simple by throwing some fun colored web on a table & place some fun containers with some fave candy in for your guests to 'trick or treat' in! 

And the FOOD!!! . . . (I realllly mean the DESSERT TABLE!=) . . .

Make some cookies & cupcakes or buy them, throw some veggies & dip on the table, make homemade marshmallow pops . . . just dip some marshmallows, poke a stick in it & throw some sprinkles on them - it doesn't have to be elaborate or expensive. =)

What IS your favorite Halloween snack? Mine is taking peanuts & mixing them with candy corn - tastes JUST like a PayDay candy bar is you have never tried it. I just tried it for the FIRST time a few years & let's just say I ummm . . .am ADDICTED!!!

And what's an adult party without some festive FUN drink ideas!?

If you have been inspired & you like this collection, I have it available in my shop, which includes the invite as well. It comes with the invite, toppers, banner, drink flags, napkin wraps, glass/wine labels, food/candy bar labels. Just click here to purchase.

I hope you all have fantastic parties this Halloween week & you have found at least one idea to take away from this & incorporate into your own!
