Commencing Operation Create New Christmas Cards

Have you seen them? Christmas trees in the stores. Seriously? We can't get through Halloween first?

Ready or not, it's time to start thinking about all those things we have to do to prepare for Christmas. Why not get one easy item on your list taken care of right now? If you're like my family and had a decent family picture taken recently, you can easily order your Christmas card right now. Just take a look at my Christmas card gallery and pick a design you like. And while you're at it, check out the newest design below. It's card #133 Merry & Bright Trendy Card.

Contact me using the form on the upper right-hand side of my blog. Tell me the card number you would like. I'll send you details on how to get your photo and other details to me. It couldn't be easier!

  

Spotted: Color Palettes Trending for Fall

There's a nostalgic coolness in the air. Leaves are starting to change colors. Fall clothing is making it's way to store shelves. Pumpkin recipes abound. Autumn is definitely around the corner. That's what inspired the new sets of color palettes I've created for you.

As I looked around for inspiration, I noticed dark wine/burgundies pairing up with familiar fall neutrals. I also noticed some blue-grey tones mixed in with traditional fall colors for some pop. Enjoy these new palettes, and welcome autumn! 

Introducing Sweet Shoppe Birthday Invitations

I've been busy once again whipping up some cute, stylish birthday party invitations that would be great for your party person. They are called the Sweet Shoppe line and they come in adorable color combos including, aqua & coral, red, white & blue, yellow & gray, hot pink and aqua, lilac & yellow, navy & kiwi and black, white & kiwi. There are color combos to fit boys and girls. They would work great for young people and young-at-heart people. You can check out the entire line here.

These invitations measure 7 inches wide by 5 inches tall. They can be customized with your own photo and party information. These work best with a portrait-style photo rather than a landscape photo. These cards cost $15.

All Charming Bliss designs are digital files only. No hard copy will be delivered. You will receive the rights to your digital file and you can upload them for printing either at home or at your favorite photo center.

Use a Babysitter? Then You Need This!

Do you use babysitters at your house? I do and I find I'm constantly jotting down the same information over and over. I knew I needed to create something, and that something HAD to be cute. Introducing the Babysitter Information Printable. This is an 8x10 .jpg file that you can print at home. You can laminate it or drop it into a sheet protector. Write on the sheet in wet-erase markers to fill in your information. Show it to your babysitter and then leave it by your phone for quick access when you leave. Cute, organized, informational...all for $5.00. If you want to order this form, contact me on the lower right-hand side of any page on my website and tell me you want to order #1001 Babysitter Info Sheet- Caribbean Polka Dots. I'll send you an invoice. Once payment is received, I'll send your file to you.  

Organization Printables and a Cute Print for Valentine's Day

There are some exciting new additions at Charming Bliss! With the start of a new year, I caught the organizing bug. I made resolutions to get organized and to do it in a cute way. One of my resolutions is to cook at home more. I always do better at this when I have a plan. I created a cute printable weekly meal planner that I can print and place in a frame in the kitchen. I can use a wet-erase marker to write the different meals on each day of the week. You can get your own customized weekly meal planner here. Currently there are two color choices: Yellow and Grey and Orange and Grey. More colors and patterns are coming soon. 

While you're checking out the Weekly Meal Planner, be sure to sneak a peek at the printable Chore Chart, the printable To-Do List, and the Organization Centers. I'll dedicate a future post to them.

  

Also new at Charming Bliss is this darling 16x20 Important Dates customizable printable. You can personalize it with birthdates and your anniversary date. Wouldn't it be cute in a big frame on your wall? You can add as many dates as you want. This would make a great gift for parents and grandparents too. I know my mom would love it. It's cute enough to display year round, but it would be especially fantastic at Valentine's day. Hurry and order your print soon.

The other option is for a Full-Custom card. For $40 you can pick whatever size card you want. You can use as many or as few pictures as you'd like. I can create your card using your favorite colors or I can pull the colors from your photos to create a perfectly matched design. You can also include your holiday letter or a personalized greeting on your card. It's a great choice.
