So I've decided to share with you all a little hobby of mine. This is something that I really enjoy doing and were it not for an over-saturated market and a slight inferiority complex, I might try to take this whole thing beyond hobby status. I like to design invitations, photo greetings, thank you notes, birth announcements, etc. I've got a lot to learn, but it is fun and I've really enjoyed making them.
Here are a few that I have created.
Asher's birthday invitation
Birth announcement 1
Birth announcement 2
Last year's Christmas card
Chrismas card 2
Shower invitation
Fall greeting
Just thought I'd share :)
You are very talented!! They are all precious! You might do well desinging them for friends, friends of friends, etc!
ReplyDeleteYou are so good at it too. I love all the stuff you designed for me. I had it printed today and it looks AMAZING!! Seriously, start making a price sheet for your stuff. Kendall's B-day is about 7 months away. I'm thinking I might need some super cute invitations!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! That is awesome! Did you design those all yourself at home on your computer?? You should make a business out of it! They are beautiful! How much would you charge to do birthday invites for my 2 year old boy birthday?? Love them!

I love them all! You have definitely have a knack for design!
ReplyDeleteThese are all awesome! We love getting greetings from the Rives Fam! :)
ReplyDeleteYour stuff look great, but, yes, it is hard to make money when everyone else seems to be doing the same thing.
ReplyDeleteBut even if you sold just a few, it's still some extra cash. You could do blog banners, too. People pay crazy amounts for that stuff.
You need to have a SUPeriority complex. These are all fantastic. I especially like the font on the fall one.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. I didn't realize all these cards we get from you guys are homemade! My sister and mother are also whiz's at this scrapbooking and cardmaking thing and I wish all this talent I am surrounded by would rub off a little on me..but alas, it looks like I will continue to be a "party city" gal.
ReplyDeleteRachel--I'd love to do your invitations. Email me at jamierives@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteEveryone--thanks for your kind words :) It's encouraging!
I want to learn how to make stuff like this. Maybe if we ever get Photoshop Elements, you can give me a tutorial. It's very close to the full version of PS.
ReplyDeleteFor now, I will attempt to teach myself on GIMP. That usually lasts 10 minutes until I give up.
