DIY Christmas Gift Tags

Ok, so, up until today I’ve published exclusively for your enjoyment, my own work. However, while out playing with “Stumble” I found this post; Best Of: Holiday Gift Tag Printables. Go on – take a look.

Wow. Aren’t they great?! I just can’t help but sharing. Not only are these beautiful examples of creative graphic design but with Christmas looming just a few days out and most of us getting ready to start the massive task of wrapping, (at least in my family) this beautiful collection of tags helps to encourage me to get started. I love them – and think maybe I’ll create my own set to share with you next year!

Wedding Banner

I didn’t think I’d be able to come up with a wedding banner with hunter green and pumpkin orange as the dominant colors… challenges are always fun! This is an eclectic mix of colors and elements but I don’t know the couple, and the mom loved it – I believe it’s going to be used at the reception.

Arab Shrine Cash Calendar

This is the third year I’ve created a calendar for this Arab Shrine fundraiser. I did a very different look for the calendar grid part of the calendar this year. I love it. (So does the customer, which is always nice when you try something new!) It looks clean and neat and it’s easy to read from a distance with plenty of room to write in.

I have to admit though, with out the calendar script from Scott Selberg I would have never been able to do it. I took the basic generated calendar (with all my dates added pre-processing) and modified the heck out of it. A thorough knowledge of character, paragraph and table styles is required to make this work, but wow. It’s amazing. And totally worth the effort for the end product!

If I get a chance to photo them once they’re printed, I’ll add one of those to this post too. If you want to see what the whole thing looks like, download the (low-resolution) PDF from this link here.

Topeka Carnival Supply Board Sign

This was a walk-in, “need-it-today” job at Hall’s. I love stuff like this, where they’ve got a loose idea of what they want but they really let me just go with it and see what I can do. After about an hour, this is what I had. He wanted to highlight the Halloween section of his store but also have the phone number and address in it. It’s going to be used in a parade tomorrow as a sign board, and then as a sign out in front of his shop. There’s more I could do to it, but I didn’t have any more time… so, this is it. Customer loved it and wants to make yard signs too.
:) Yeah! it’s a success!
