We have had a lot going on behind the scenes at Forever Family Designs… In October I have been faithfully working away at profiles, and have been notified by four families that hey have been matched or brought their babies home! Congratulations to all the new families! I was also able to get away for a few days to a photoshop conference which was a great experience both for inspiration and learning some great new tricks. We have also brought on a new designer, Megan Caston and are excited to see all the new designs she is working on.

Our super exciting news is that I have also been hard at work on a new website, and shoppe! While the website is not quite ready to go live yet we have our Shoppe up and ready to go for those of you waiting to place your Christmas Card orders. To celebrate the opening of The Shoppe, we will be offering 20% off of all of our Christmas Cards, Baby Announcements, and Custom Birth Mother gifts until the end of October. The coupon code for the savings is octsave09, hurry up and place your holiday order early and take advantage of the savings!

We are pleased to welcome Megan Caston to our design team!

Megan and her husband, Jeff, are the parents of three beautiful girls. When not designing Announcement, Cards, and custom Birth Mother gifts,  you will find Megan digital scrapbooking, sewing/crafting new projects, decorating her home and others, baking yummy treats or hosting a get together. Megan and Jeff are personally touched and blessed by adoption; they are very close with their nephew who came home through domestic adoption.  Megan has a great eye for design, and we are very excited to have her join our team and look forward to the diversity she will bring with her design. You can check out all of our announcements, cards, and custom birth mother gifts at our new Shoppe.

We were recently contacted by a friend of a friend to design a custom birth announcement for baby Allison. Congratulations Mark and Joani she is adorable!  Thank you to Carrie Lambing for taking the beautiful photos.

We had these printed front and back on high quality card stock.

Here is a sneak peak at some new modern baby announcement designs we have been working on… stay tuned there will be more to follow. These designs may be ordered as a one sided design and printed as a photograph, or both sides may be customized and printed on high quality press printed card stock. We also have a design only option if you prefer to receive the JPG and print the cards yourself. You can check out these and all of our other designs in the card gallery on our website at www.foreverfamilydesigns.com. We are always open to custom design requests and we are able to customize any of our designs to create the perfect announcement for your new bundle of love. Enjoy!

My sister-in-law liked her son’s announcement so much that we had it printed onto a canvas so she could hang it in his nursery. The canvas turned out great, I would be happy to offer this as a special order item, here is how it looks:
