photography for christmas cards

Tip 1: Christmas photos: kids looking up or down can make your photo soft and natural. Stand on a stool and shoot down and get them to look up.

Tip 2: Choose locations with a natural enviroment. Laying on the grass, leaning against a wooden fence, the beach or just a white room.


Tip 3: Capture your childs personality.. whether it's is laughing, hanging upside down, in a superhero costume, jumping, picking flowers or cuddling their siblings.

All the personalised chrissy card designs are uploaded website.. stop by and have a looksy... $2.20each with red envelopes, magnets and a diamantee on each card for extra bling.

gone batty for halloween!

Thought I would inspire you with some Halloween themes this week.
Here are some fabulous lanterns from the legendary Martha Stewart.
I do like the lolly bags with the bat tags too! simple yet effective.

eat me - no shower with me....

Sometimes, being innovative can be as simple as presenting or packaging something old in a new, refreshing, and visually stimulating way.
How fab are these.. I have lost the link, but this was at a spanish market stall.
An imagination for marketing this product is priceless!

mathilda's markets - june 2010

As a first timer at the markets.. I must say it is a well oiled machine when it comes to being a firt time stall holder. Everything was perfect. It is a great concept and the quality of these boutique markets is exceptional and I advised all mums in Brissy to attend to find a unique selection of delights!

My invitations have made some new friends and contacts and I now am busy with orders and designing some new themes.

Now to upload onto my website all my party packs and the rest of my lolly bag tags... a very time consuming task and a wine may be needed to support the repetitive task I am about to do.
Thanks for all the support from friends, family and fans...
