If you haven’t check out Villa Nova Pizzeria in New Buffalo, add it to your list of places to eat while in Harbor Country. Here’s a project we just finished up last month. We photographed their catering menu, and designed the menu as well. Keep up with them on Facebook for specials! And don’t forget to try the cannoli’s!

Several months ago I was contacted by someone in Tennessee to design a birth announcement.  By communicating via email and looking at images of the babies nursery, I was able to come up with a design that the client loved. Her photographer, Brandy Jaggers did an amazing job with the newborn photography, and the whole design came together perfectly. The bamboo paper gave a soft luxurious feel to the card, and we turned the orientation of the accordion card to better fit the images. I love how they turned out, and was glad for the opportunity to create something special for the new addition to the family.

I’ve added a pre-designed template in the store for a pink and coral birth announcement card. You can also contact me at elicia@thewhimsytree.com for custom design projects.

The mini accordion albums came in from this Little One’s session and I thought I’d show you a little peak! Everyone seems loves these handy albums, as they are perfect for a purse, fridge, or desk. It really is a great way to show of your family! And it comes with most sessions!

After seeing a demand for baby announcement designs here at The Whimsy Tree, I’ve decided to create a couple custom designs for the store. I will be offering design services to finish the card with your own images. For now here’s a sneak peak of some inspirations, including some great finds from local antique stores such as, vintage baby bonnets, books, luggage and an old watch spring tin. I love finding vintage goodies that inspire me in design and also for session props.
