Design 10: Craning for Rudolf

Message: “Just thought you should know Rudolf was spotted flight-testing in September.”

- Specs: Vertical 5×7 card on archival linen with the inside design spanning the inside spread, folded in the middle.
What I love about this design — The message and unposed picture inside is fun and totally unexpected. I wish I had thought of this for my own family! I love it! My second favorite thing about this design is the layout on the back of the card. First of all, that’s a really great family picture in the center. The faded background is kind of a standard shot of a daughter standing on mom and dad’s feet, but this one gives a clear fashion date to the picture with those awesome Ugg boots. And I love how the boots hug my logo. I enjoy designing cards that will be kept in a shoebox or stuck in a scrapbook and remembered with a sense of nostalgia decades from now.

Awesome design!
Besides the great photos, I love the green throughout the card. On the front, in the trees, and especially on the back around the family shot – it really makes that one pop!
My favorite part is the faded image of the kids on the back with the family image imposed on top of it. The kids seem so big in the faded image and then so young again with their parents. Just like all of our kids, they seem so grown up at times and yet we always will think of them as our babies.
love how the inside is full on both pages and shows the season. The kids look like they are having so much fun.
