so very thankful
/I've been a little light on the blog posts the past few days, as Silverbox has never been busier. I can't wait to show you all that we've been working on. We keep the holiday photos and client's card designs under wraps until they're all sent out, but look for some of these really soon! We are thankful for so many new clients and of course, our wonderful tried and true veterans. During this very busy time of year some days can be a bit challenging, but then you get something like the letter below to remind you that it's all worth it. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for each and every kind word.
Susan, Ever since you sent us a link to our photos a month ago, I've been meaning to email you. You did it again! The photos are absolutely breathtaking - just beautiful! This is our third year doing holiday photos with you and every year it's the same thing. The photo session with you is always an absolute joy. You are professional, yet fun and the hour flies by. Yet when you leave, I always think the same thing - I don't think we got any good family pictures this year because we were never all smiling, I don't think there are any pictures of Jamie because he never sat still, it goes on and on. Then, just a few days later, you send me a link to our photos. This year it was just like all the other years - I opened the link to a wonderful surprise that somehow, magically, you got many great family photos! And Jamie, who never sat still or seemed to smile, is in dozens of beautiful pictures, smiling, playing and even sitting still! Baby Annie, who didn't seem to do anything, but look confused, is in dozens of pictures too, smiling and playing, thinking and giggling. Somehow you captured it all - you captured our family, just as we are, yet somehow beautiful. I can't thank you enough!
Your client for life, Lesli
We had the pleasure of designing these invitations for a very special birthday. The client simply provided the silhouette art and we took it from there. After the design was finished, we added some bells and whistles with ribbon and glitter. These custom invitations were printed on a very thick Italian cotton stock and enclosed with metallic pink envelopes. All the best to this beautiful family. Enjoy your celebration!
I took a moment to get a little creative in the kitchen, (and I don't mean with food), by painting a wall with chalk paint and gracing this newly found canvas with some script from It's a Wonderful Life. Take a moment during this holiday season to enjoy the simple things. The little moments. Remember what's important because time goes by much too fast. If you need a little reminder, here you go...
A huge thank you to all that participated in our Thankful contest. The stories came from afar and the comments where humbling. It's with great pleasure we announce Laura Gonsalves as the winner of our contest. Laura, if you wouldn't mind sending along your address to info@silverboxcreative.com, we'll send you a $100. gift certificate to our studio. We look forward to creating the perfect keepsake for you. Wishing everyone the Happiest Thanksgiving! Look for other giveaways and contests really soon!
