More Info....

So I've had a lot of requests for more info for my card designs. So here it is...
First 2 new design for you...
This one I call Winter Mod.(Got in a snowflake mood)

I call this Holiday Mod...(Again lovin' the snowflakes)

Prices:
Cost: $2.00 per card
Cards come in packs of 25 ( so if you need 40 you'll have to order 50).
I can change or tweek the card anyway you like. Text is at no extra charge and the card can say whatever you want. yea for personalization.
Printing:
They are printed on a high quality card stock including the envelopes(hand stamped design on the front of the envelope to keep it festive of course for no extra fee).
You also have the choice of a regular finish on the card or a very beautiful pearl finish(adds a subtle shimmer) which is very popular right now and gives the card a very luxe look.
I can have them printed in 4x5 or 5x7.


***(side note: I would love to do the printing for you because my computer is calibrated to the printing company I use. So I know and you know as well that your holiday memory will come out just as it's supposed to with the correct color and no unnecessary cropping that happens with big box printing from stores.)
Any question please email me at emilyashdown@yahoo.com
Thanks 80)

Fall Fun...


Sorry it's taken me awhile to post these. They are fresh from being edited. I did some fun things to them and each one has it's own style. The top picture is of my friends Sara's little girl Emma. That's what all the pictures are actually. She a cutie puhtootie! 80) She was having a fun time with her mom who was bouncing her over the fence.

This photo is with a contrast edit so that Emma stands out and doesn't blend in with the background colors.

Emma showing off the bling I let her play with. She's definitely a girly girl.

I love her grin in this one. So excited!

Here is the pond at Fort Buenaventura the fall leaves were amazing this is my favorite fall picture!

In the Ghetto


Last week Josh and I went to a building Josh found while working and it was fantastic. See I've been craving a great wall of graffiti to take pictures of. I wanted something that had some real substance to it not a bunch of gang crud. This wall looked great with it's Halloween theme and bright colors. FANTASTIC. On the picture above I made the garage window and ground black/white and muted the rest of the colors.

On this next picture I muted the colors of the dumpster to help make the background pop. I love the purple suited killer guy. My name for him shall be thriller.

Side view of the wall. Great use of color.

This is a picture of the garage door. I pumped up the colors a bit and then put a crackle texture over it. Make it look a little more distressed. I haven't quite figured out what it says though. What do you think it says?

And lastly this picture of Josh. i pumped up the color a little without changing Josh's skin tone and it worked out quite well. I like the angle of the picture and that it looks like the thriller guy is coming after him. 80)

Las Vegas Pt.2-Valley of Fire



These are the second round of pictures from Vegas. We got out of the city and went to the Valley of Fire state park. It's about 45 mins away from Vegas and is BEAUTIFUL. There were amazing sandstone masterpieces and petroglyphs. If your in the area this is a must see!!! The picture above is my obsession of photographing myself again. 80)


A petroglyph of a small foot. I don't know why is struck me so hard. But when I saw it I thought of all the little children running around thousands of year before me. When we think of ancient villages we usually only think of the adults running them not the children growing and learning in them. This was one of my favorites.


This is looking up at a cliff above. I like the lines and color of the sandstone.


A cliff with a little sun flare. Everyone loves a good sun flare.
