Making Personalized Cards, Invitations and Signs
I enjoy making my own greeting cards and did it before the age of computers. Now I have lots of fun learning new ways to make them. One of my favorite things to do is to swap heads using clip art and a picture of the person I am making the card for. I have a program that let's you do a few of them but I always wanted to do more and different ones so finally figured out how to do it. I think people enjoy receiving their very own personalized greeting card, don't you? I am going to show some of the cards, invitations and signs that I have done. I have covered names and other information to protect the innocent.
NOTE: When I began this lens, I was just intending on showing cards, signs, and invitations that I did for fun or for non profit groups. Since then I have joined Zazzle and Cafe Press,print on demand companies, and am making merchandise from my original artwork and photographs. If the particular item is not showing as a Zazzle or Cafe Press product, it is because I used clip art from Microsoft Home Publishing or Picture It. These items can not be sold due to copyright. I am enjoying selling my Zazzle and Cafe Press Products. Thank you.

Thanksgiving Card
Clip art border from Microsoft Home Publishing
This card contains a prayer that was adopted by our Tate Family the Thanksgiving after our father's death. Dad had always said the blessing at our family gathering for Thanksgiving and we did not know how we were going to get through that first Thanksgiving without him. I found this poem in one of our mom's old "Ideals" and we made copies for everyone and read it in unison. Thus, beginning another tradition. The prayer is now also used as part of the closing ceremony for our Tate Family Reunion.Tate Family Reunion
Now my sisters and I send this card each year to anyone we know who has lost a loved one during the year. We hope that it brings them as much comfort as it has us through the years.

I decided to make a lens about our Thanksgiving Prayer tradition. This is near and dear to my heart and I wanted to share our story.

Pilgrim Head Swaps
Fun for the Thanksgiving Table
Last year I did these pilgrim head swaps and had one at each place at the table with the person's head on a pilgrim. I printed on cardstock and then fixed them where they could stand on their own at each place. At first I thought it might be fun to make them into napkin rings which would have been easy enough but they showed up better this way. It was quite the conversation piece.

- Some lovely designs here. We have a friend who always does one of those "head-swap" cards with his children's portraits and different Christmas pictures each year. Too cute!
