Why to choose “Custom Invitations” August 16, 2011

If you are wondering why you should choose custom invitations, well you’re in the right place for me to convince you. I will admit this is a bias answer as you know I own Nomee Creations where customized invitations are my niche. But the reason I got into creating invitations on a one on one basis was because I love seeing a customer happy for getting exactly what they wanted, or to change that one little thing that would make what they want exactly how they envisioned it.

When you look at websites online that offer pre-designed invitations, you’re looking at exactly that, a design that was not intended for you specifically. You get to choose from a selected group of colors, maybe some fonts, and a few designs. With customized invitations, that’s exactly the opposite, you come with an idea of what you would like and it’s the effort of a good designer to match or create your vision. If that is done, the end result will be beautiful- for you and those receiving it.

Im sure the ease of purchasing an already made invitation is convenient, and with the stresses of planning a wedding and having to make thousands of decisions throughout the process can be exhausting. What you’ll have to remember is that this is the first thing your guests will see that references this amazing event. It will be their only insight to the vision you’ve made a reality for this day….YOUR WEDDING. So why go with the everyday when you can have it your way?

To list out the reasons:

1. It will be personalized to your specifications

2. With a good designer edits and corrections can easily be made

3. Everything will match exactly what the feel of your wedding will be

4. You will more than likely pay about the same as you would for those invitations that were created for the mass and you have to work around to fit what you are looking for.

Bottom line is you’re going to be happier with the end result when you’re choosing something that is specifically for your wedding  and your idea of what the feel of it should be. So be sure to find a reliable person/company (Nomee Creations) to create your invitations. Find out if there are discounts with purchases of other stationary (thank you’s, programs, place cards) always make sure you get a timetable for how long they will take and last but not least don’t be afraid to ask for changes, as a designer we want to make sure what we create is what you like. Nothing will make you happier than getting exactly what you envisioned!

A New Year a New Adventure December 15, 2010

….I plan on coming back at least once a week until January 1st to remind you and hopefully convince you to join us for Project 365

Hello everyone, 

I know we are all busy with the holidays coming up, but do you have anything planned for 2011, aside from the New Years’ Resolutions that will be left behind by mid-February (I’m just acknowledging the facts) is there anything else that will keep your cold days warm or your evenings from searching through you tube for one more funny video because you just don’t know what else to do.

Well we might have the thing for you. Beginning January 1, 2011 we will be embarking on a project…PROJECT 365. You’re wondering what cheesy thing could this be…well I beg to differ this is not cheesy if anything this is your chance to capture 365 days of non-cheesy…here’s what you do, you take one photo a day (hence the 365), each day has an assigned person, place or thing to photograph. The goal is that at the end of the year you can view your life for the past 365 days. Now you’re thinking oh my that is a lot of work…well I’m telling you it isn’t. How long can it take you to snap a photo? Think about it, at the end of the year you can complete an album and along the way you’ll learn new tricks/tips from other photographers, you’ll also get a chance to play with that expensive (or not so expensive) camera of yours…all camera types welcome even from your phone, the point is to sort of document your life through your camera teach yourself new techniques and grow…grow as a photographer and the ability to see everyone else and how they view the same things through their cameras.

So come join us (Crafty Susanita and Nomee Creations) on this 1 year journey….to register go to http://Project365.forumotion.com get acquainted with the site and be ready to start posting your photos January 1, 2010

Here is January’s Calendar of what to photograph, we made it pretty easy to start, we want to make sure you’re not discouraged right away.

I’m also looking for a good deal for those registered to get a discount on a book at the end of the year where you can have all of your photos printed. I’ll post more as I find out more further into the year

Project 365 December 8, 2010

I didn’t have a chance to update you last week with our (Crafty Susanita and I) plans for Project 365. So here it goes: for 2011 Crafty Susanita and I will be embarking on something fun- taking one photo a day each day making it something different and never trying to duplicate it. We’ve created a forum PROJECT 365 here you will be able to view the details. So to let you know a few details, each day has an assigned person, place or thing to photograph. We’re hoping that all of you non-professional photographers come and join us with our mission to have 365 new photos that depict our lives in 2011. But since we didn’t think 365 photos was enough, we’re also going to be creating one 12×12 scrap page weekly (this can be of any photo(s) you wish to use) and one 24×12 Scrap page weekly (this must include the photos of your 365 project).

Now all you have to do is head on over to the forum and pre-register (so you can get acquainted with the forum before you start on January 1st). The forum is free and you don’t have to do anything but take photos and post them on the assigned days. I really do hope you come on by and participate. It will be fun and exciting….I can’t wait….I’ll be updating this blog with the photos we take. as we get closer to January 1st, I’ll post a full calendar for January to show you the assignments and you can prepare. Head on over to my Scrap Blog to see any new pages there.
