Mother’s Day Photo Inspiration

Posted on May 10, 2013 by Jennifer Cisney

You know your Mom would love a card from you for Mother’s Day.

And you know she would really treasure a photo card with a personalized message.

But what photo do you put on the card?! Here are a few ideas.

Scan in an old photo of you and your mom for your photo card.

The “vintage” photo looks nice on a card and the memories will choke up your mom.

Are you a dad helping the kids make a card for mom? Have the kids post with letters that spell out M-O-M or I love you. You could also have them make a sign to hold, write it on a chalkboard or even spell it out with their limbs and bodies!

Note that my card had M-O-M spelled out by pets. Don’t forget Pet Moms too!

Some other ideas for Dad’s “helping” the kids make a card – use a card of your children when they were babies. Or take a shot of little kid shoes next to Mom’s shoes. You could even scan in a drawing your child created of Mom and use that in a card!

Don’t forget Grandma on Mother’s Day! A card that shows all the generations makes a sweet and memorable card. If you don’t have a good photo of Mom and kids, an appointment with a professional photographer for a photo session would make an amazing Mother’s Day gift.

Leprechaun pugs & Greeting Card Universe

Posted on March 16, 2013 by Jennifer Cisney

If you thought I was going to let a holiday go by without dressing up my dogs and taking photos of them, boy were you wrong.

For St. Patrick’s Day, I posed them with a store-bought leprechaun hat and a homemade felt ginger beard.

Unlike typical leprechauns they are looking for a pot of corned beef at the end of the rainbow.

I have a few St. Patrick’s Day-loving friends that I want to give cards to. It was really easy to upload these photos to Greeting Card Universe and addthem to St. Patrick’s Day card templates.

I could have had them shipped to my house but I need them right away so I had them directed to Target for pick-up. I can stop at Target on my way home and get them!

I might try and get some pics of the cat in the outfit too!
