Today's post is in honor of my daughter heading off to college this weekend. I surely remember when she was three, and all of a sudden she's leaving tomorrow to start a life of her own. Oh the world that awaits... Here's wishing you a wonderful weekend with your kiddos.

winter in august?

A winter wonderland birthday in the middle of August?...you better believe it. Here at Silverbox we have the Christmas music playing as we design your 2010 holiday cards. So when the request came in for an ice skating party at summer's end, you know we were up for the challenge. These invitations were sent out in a snow globe and box with filler to set the mood of this gold medal invite. Unfortunately, our vendor no longer sells these snow globes. We've since started selling this option of a new globe invitation.

 

the power of thumbnails

Ah, the power of thumbnail sketches. A dying art if you ask me. This is how we start most jobs, and find a creative energy in pulling our thoughts out on paper. It's back to the basics, and we could never do without them. These thumbnails are the beginnings of our 2010 Holiday Cards that are currently being worked on here at Silverbox. Yep, some of these baby sketches will make it to the end stages, and some won't, but rest-assured you're getting authentic works of art that will greet your friends and family this winter season in style.
