Cards, invitations & photo restoration

# Skip the photo-kiosk struggle. Get cards you’re proud to send.

Tired of fighting templates, blurry prints, and awkward crops at the drugstore counter? Send me your photos and your idea — I’ll design it, send you a proof, and have it printed and ready to pick up or mail.

A real designer

No templates to wrestle or photos cropped at the neck.

A proof first

You see and approve it before anything prints.

Printed right

Quality card stock, ready to pick up or mail.

My favorite season

## Christmas & holiday cards are my favorite to design — and where I still go all out.

Family photo cards, corporate holiday mailers, custom illustrated designs — every card is laid out by hand, proofed with you, and sent to press with enough lead time to actually arrive before the 25th.

* Photo & non-photo layouts
* Folded or flat 5×7 cards
* Foil, matte or glossy finishes
* Addressed, stamped & mailed for you
* Hand-pressed wax seals
* Custom envelopes & liners
* Personalized “From Santa” tags
* Digital + print delivery

Early-bird Christmas special

Book your Christmas cards by November 27 and save on design: **$20 off** cards with two or more designed sides, or **$10 off** cards with one, folded or flat.

Design prices; printing is extra. Ends November 27, along with guaranteed printing and shipping before Christmas.

Greeting Cards

## A card for every moment worth marking.

Not every occasion needs a holiday budget. Whether it’s a single birthday card or a full set for a shop shelf, you get the same care with layout, type, and color — sized right for print or ready to share digitally.

* Birthdays
* Thank-yous
* Invitations
* Announcements
* Get well & sympathy
* Just because
* Folded or flat 5×7

## Don’t let old photos fade away.

Whether it’s a shoebox of prints, a torn portrait of your grandparents, or photos that have faded to orange — I’ll digitize them, repair the damage, and bring the color back, so the memories outlast the paper they’re printed on.
