► Baby Announcements


I am thrilled to announce the release of my first collection of pre-designed card templates.
The templates are birth announcements, in a variety of sizes, shapes & colors. The collection contains 10 unique designs, each in a boy and girl version. And 5 of these have also been created in alternate sizes or colors. This brings the total number of templates in the collection to 35 fully-layered .psd files.
Each element in the design can be modified or removed altogether, for a variety of looks that will be perfect for your next card. By simply changing the color scheme with a few simple clicks of the mouse, your cards instantly become Birthday Cards, Invitations, Thank You Cards ... the possibilities are endless. Scroll down to see all the templates in this collection.
Pricing : $35.00 for the entire set (35 layered files)

The collections contain a wide assortment of designs that accommodate an assortment of photos, with multiple variations for each base design for even more variety. Most base designs will also have both horizontal and vertical variations of the layout. The following example is one card design with 3 variations.




The collage collections also contain multiple sizes with matching aspect ratios. For example, included with the 8x10 collection are the matching templates for the following sizes that have the same aspect ratio : 11x14,16x20 & 24x30. The templates have been re-sized while keeping the same design/layout, saving you the time of re-sizing them prior to use.
Collages with "text borders" also include 3 variations by default, one with small/no text in the border, one with medium text in the border and one with large text in the border. The appropriately sized space has been left between the border and "photo openings" to allow for sufficient room for large/tall fonts. See the examples below :

Welcome !
Hi all !! I have decided to re-locate my "extras" page and remove it from my business website altogether. I just don't think it is in my best interest for clients to view the items I am offering within the industry. That site will contain my photography only, and my extras will live here.

It is here that you will find my actions and templates for PS and PSE.

Thank you for your continued interest in my products and services ... and welcome !
