Christmas & Holiday Photo Cards and a free gift for you!

I just designed a fun bunch of Christmas/Holiday Photo cards... they really are "not the norm"... with bright colors and non-typical Christmas themes :) 

I'm trying something new, selling at Payloadz.com. 

They are S4H/S4O friendly and small business photography friendly.

And here's a free card (one that is included in the bunch) for you to try! Download HERE for a limited time.

And become MY fan on FACEBOOK! And get this kit free! Details to come soon!

Wow, I've had so much positive feedback for a charity kit that I am doing for WALK NOW FOR AUTISM. I'm so excited for it and hope I can raise lots of money for this charity through it. All the proceeds will go DIRECTLY to the charity through their website and I will email download links to those who buy it.

I'm also excited that I started selling my digital kits at Artscow.com. You can prepare stunning photo books in no time with their software! 

I have an alpha and a page kit FREE this week... and my Kerfuffle kit is only .99 cents!

In the photo book gallery, I started to make a few examples of pages using these kits -you can see them in the shared products. It's really easy to use the software and I hope that everyone can enjoy making beautiful photo books with my kits :)
