Today’s fan share comes from…..me! I am beyond thrilled with the new Inspire Guide: Canvases, which I created to use as a resource for my studio’s wall galleries of all canvases. We sell way more gallery wrap canvases than anything else and our clients count on us to create this type of art for their homes. This guide allows us to show two completely different types of looks….one with canvases that touch for an ultra contemporary look, and one with canvases spaced apart in a more traditional manner. Selling wall galleries, especially canvases, is what we attribute our consistently high sales to. In fact, our average portrait sale is more than my complete average wedding collection (including albums) from just four years ago! Try selling canvas wall galleries…this guide should pay for itself the very first time you use it.

Nothing says patterned perfection like this elegant set of multipurpose cards. Consisting of six 5X7 double sided flat cards, this fully customizable bevy of old-fashioned beauty includes everything from baby announcements, save the date cards, holiday cards and more! Perfect for everything, from offering a new line of products to changing up your business branding, you’ll find yourself flipping for these dainty designs.

PERFECT FOR:
•  Two sided postcards
•  Event invitations
•  Marketing materials
•  Quick holiday cards
•  Thank you notes
•  Birth announcements
•  Save the date cards

We are loving these new Deco Chic Proof Borders to add an elegant, fine art quality to images! Clients will love this add-on effect for wedding or portrait proofs and you will love that a quick action does all the work for you, weather you proof  with traditional sizes or modern square prints. Create a super quick album too, one image per page on a 5×5, 5×7, 8×8, 8×10, or 10×10 page.  Five lovely designs are included. See more info right here~

One of our favorite contributors, Laura Novak, shares her studio’s Santa-like workshop assembly line of custom calendars getting ready to be packaged and sent to her top 50 clients as holiday gifts. Laura cropped each calendar, personalized with her clients’ name and images,  to 10×15 inches and is mounting them on foam core board. You can bet they will be calling her in 2010!

Heidi Peters writes to us today, “I’m sharing how a combination of DesignAglow products work together within my studio. My space is very much a ‘working’ space, meaning I use most of the square footage for shooting but I do have a large dedicated product display shelf. Additionally, there are a few nooks and crannies which will never work for shooting.

Because this area is adjacent to where I shoot, I didn’t want the display to be overly strong. I discovered that I had a few extra O’Brien Schridde frames laying around which matched perfectly with some extra prints from a client project using Beautiful Mats templates. The table beneath was picked up at a local vintage shop and is handy for smaller products which clients like to pick up and examine, like Finao albums using proof album borders.

I love how this nook has more or less designed itself!”

Beautiful, Heidi. Thanks for sending these lovely images~
