merch with a message

We are ridiculously lucky to make products designed almost exclusively around Celebrations, and we wouldn't trade our jobs for the world. But sometimes we just want to make something super fun for everyday life, too. (After all, who said there has to be a reason to celebrate, right?)

With that in mind we've decided to devote just a wee bit of time each week to bring you a new design that makes us smile, and we hope it will have the same effect on you. If you like it, go give us a big thumbs up on Facebook. If you LOVE it, click here to get it for your very own! We're starting small, offering tees, prints, skins, iphone cases...just the basics, but just like a smile, these fun messages are meant to be 100% contagious...how will you share your favorite?

so much to celebrate

Of course we love Holiday Photocards every Christmas, but there's something extra fun about finding the perfect one with a year as amazing as we've had. In the past 12 months, we celebrated one incredible Winter Wedding (yes, on Valentine's Day!) and welcomed yet another tiny niece to our crazy clan: Little Miss Carson Lee (who had the lovely timing to arrive just in time for Mother's Day. :) And then, there's our newest furry nephew, George...who may weigh only 25 lbs now but is expected to end up at over 200 lbs! Yes, our iPhones are overflowing with happy pics. Lucky for us, we get to make cards for all our closest friends and family, otherwise choosing just one magical event to focus on this year would be pretty much impossible. What will you be spotlighting this year in your Holiday Cards?
