Cameron's Birth Announcement

I did a newborn shoot and designed a card to go out for his Birth Announcements.
It has been about 6 weeks so all of his announcements have made it to friends and family and I am not going to spoil any surprises by posting now. He is such a cutie!!
Oh, the baby smell.....

Here is Cameron, he was 6 days old.
The Front

It was designed to be a 5x7 card. This way the back was a large 5x7 photo that filled the card. Perfect for family to frame.
The Back

Of course with him as my model, how could they go wrong.
I am busy booking shoots and working on designing some Christmas Cards.
Hope you have a Happy Thursday!

BTW... we are almost at 400 subscribers. Must be Freebie time? =)

What a cute little guy. Nothing like the smell of a baby. I get to go help my daughter in October with her new son when he is born. There is nothing like the smell of a new baby. Love your work. You are a spectacular photographer. Thanks for sharing.

This card is amazing. Well done photos and design. One question for anyone to answer. How do you print something like this double sided card. At home? or a photo lab?
Thanks for any help

Absolutely beautiful, Kimi :) I hope you don't mind, but you have inspired me to make a birth announcement for my new granddaughter, Amelia Ann.

My DIL is being induced tomorrow and Amelia will be born on Sept 4th or 5th -- I'm so excited, as this will be first time to be a "gammy!"

Thanks for the inspiration :)

If you have a rar. folder that you need to unzip. You can download a free trial of winRAR here. CNet has a very good record of safe downloads. It is a 40 day free trial. I downloaded it a couple of days ago and it worked great. When your 40 days are up, you can uninstall it from your computer and be back to normal. Next... If you come to a texture that is just an image such as the Antique1 texture. Right click and copy it. This will copy the image to your computers clipboard. Open CS or Elements. Hit Ctrl N for a new document. Your computer will remember the copied size and make a new document to fit it. Once your new blank document is opened. Hit Ctrl V, this paste your image into the document. Now save in your texture folder. Another thing; if you watch the video but you are working in Elements and don't have a layer mask button. Do This. Open a new levels adjustment layer. Click ok without making any changes. This now gives you a layer mask to paint on. Click on your mask to m...
