Welcome & Thank You

Welcome and thank you for stopping by DESIGNEDbyemily. A few years ago God opened a door in my heart and it has been an adventure ever since. He has blessed me with an eye for design and a heart to serve. Together they allow me to create an affordable, one of a kind announcement, just for YOU. I truly believe God has blessed me with this passion so that I may bless others. Please take your time to explore all the designs and contact me with any questions.

{GIVE}away

I have a huge 6 foot long piece of wood hanging on the wall in my living room.  It is painted RED, to be sure I don't ignore it, and reads, 'There is always something to BE THANKFUL for'  I believe this saying, in its entirety, and have witnessed and experienced first hand the amazing power of positive thinking.  Count your blessings, be optimistic, keep your cup half full....what ever you call it, however you do it, be thankful.

In the spirit of the upcoming holiday, I am going to {GIVE} away a Thanksgiving design file.  All you need to do is leave a comment, telling me 1something you are thankful for, 2. which design you'd like and 3. what size card you'd like (4x6, 5x7 or 6x7.5) 

Only one entry per person.  I will choose a a random winner and contact you by Midnight MST, tonight.  If you are chosen, be prepared to email me a photo, or two, that you'd like to be used in the card and I'll email you the final design file within 24 hours.  My goal is for you to have time to print and mail them early next week in time for Thanksgiving.

Today I am thankful for my family...what about YOU?

Sincerely,
Emily

Birth Announcements Design "Vault"

For the past 3 years I've only designed announcements & cards for family members or friends. It allowed me to create something memorable for the special event in their lives and saved them a few dollars at the same time. The photos you see here "in the vault" are a result of those opportunities. They are all available. If you see something you like, please email me.











meet ME cards

Something new and fun...meet me cards, aka mommy cards. You no longer have to be "Colby's mom" go ahead and reclaim your name. I can't count how many times I've scrambled for a pen and scrap of paper or saved a number in my cell phone but forgot who it was for. These informative little cards eliminate that akwardness of "our kids are in class together, what was your name again?" and make life a little easier on us busy moms. Who doesn't need that?
