Emily's Picks- '09 Favorite Holiday Designs

Of course we asked Emily for her favorite designs. She is so much fun! :) enjoy.....

mas: i love the fun text on this one (and am going to use it for my own christmas cards!). i actually changed the colors of the text to match our family photo ~ which you can do too because we change color for FREE!

wish: this card is awesome for showing off a great family photo ~ because you get to use the entire card for your photo. and i have seen some really great updated wording on the bottom ~ i love the stacked text and you can change it to say whatever your little heart desires :) oh and the aquamarine cardstock is my fav.

ohlittlestar: i love this card for the same reason as the above ~ you get to use the whole card for your photo! and this font is one of my favorites... i love the vintage chic feel.

celebrate: love the zebra stripes! and you can change the lime green color to match your photo ~ bright colors look awesome with these stripes!

the new year, paper: i love the old feel of this card ~ like old paper, complete with cool old typewriter font. this card looks great with black and white or bright, fun color photos. or, maybe it's because it's my cute kids on the front ;)

Ryan's Picks - '09 Favorite Holiday cards

We asked Ryan to send over his favorite designs. Here they are! :) enjoy.........

Amazing - aqua, pink, and gray and three amazing photos - what more do you want for the holidays?

Merry - simple but so cool

Windy - this was actually an idea of a client last year - throw in some outdoor snow pictures and bam... it's December.

Happy - Karli just gave this one to us and I'm really digging it - it's got her cool vibe all over it

Sing - why don't more people order this? maybe it's just because it took me a long time to do but I still love this card... I wish more people would order it. : )

Happy Birthday Mango Ink!!

Mango Ink is celebrating FOUR years today! We LOVE our job!

It all started when our baby girl, Anna, was about to turn one. I asked Ryan if he could make a design for me that was orange, had a photo of when she was a baby, the number 1 on it, a current photo of her and a pumpkin theme. He sent me this design. I loved it and that's how it all began.

We talked about what we wanted to name our company and Ryan built our website and created more and more designs. It's hard to believe how far it's come in the past four years! We love offering personal service and therefore actually feel like friends to many of our clients. Starting out as complete strangers, but getting to watch families grow and celebrate milestones and also grieving along side families when hard stuff happens. We are blessed in more ways than we ever anticipated.

Thank you fabulous clients! You are the BEST!
Stay tuned for a Birthday Celebration Newsletter.... and more and more! :)
