I would like Thank you cards with pictures of my boys. They get so mad at me for making them write thank yous. I think this might help.

Reeva said...

I'd like to see more masculine color schemes. There are lots of dads out there who would like to have their signature look on things like this :)

AudreyO said...

I apologize if I missed it, do you offer pet photo cards? We are just dog lovers. We have photos of our pets on our phones, on our computers etc. Everyone knows we are dog owners.

Rachel said...

How great! I would get the moving announcement cards. We just moved from Ohio to NC and with four kids 6 and under I didn't get a Christmas picture taken. I'd put the family on the front with our new contact info. Hope we win.

I love the first birthday card in the pink and purple polka dot's!

Paige said...

I like the "Jordan" thank you cards. Cute!

EllyBean said...

I'd like to see grandparents day cards.

Jodi said...

How about Birthday cards? An idea could be that someone would put a pic of themselves and the birthday girl or boy on the card. It would make it really special for the recipient, I think! Thanks for the giveaway!

blueviolet said...

I think graduation cards would be wonderful.

I really love the photo collages, but I should do a birthday invitation if I won! num1twinkie at yahoo

Ginny said...

I love the bday princess collage, adorable!

How about a new addition to the family card, but the new addition is a new pet. That would be really cute for those who love animals.

ariyana9501 said...

Anniversary cards. I would love them! Thanks!

okaat said...

I would like to see graduation cards available.

PisecoMom (Mom's Marbles) said...

Although some of the birth announcements could be used, I'd really like to see adoption announcements! We often don't know the time or weight at birth, so traditional birth announcements look empty - and we'd like a place to put both date of birth and date of adoption. The cards you have are very cute!

Stacy said...

St. Pattys day cards. My BIL is obsessed with that holiday he would probably send out cards for that.

NMLady said...

All kinds of anniversary cards, not just wedding anniversaries. I'd specifically like to see Anniversary of First Date. Our wedding anniversary is New Years Day and often gets lost in the holiday celebration so we celebrate our First Date anniversary as well.

punkinmama said...

How about graduation cards?

soanywaytoday said...

I would like the Valentine red cards.

Liz said...

I would like to see some font suggestions that can be played around with on the card.

I like the Ella Birthday invitations.

meghan said...

I would love a polka-dotted or striped first birthday card. I'm looking forward to my son's first birthday this year!

divaqueenie said...

I love the idea of the Landry Thank you card. What a nice way to say "thank you!"

A true friend is not a friend that you can see and know that they are there without a doubt. A true friend is a friend you truly have faith in without a doubt. True friendship is when you don’t see that friend but you know that they are there and you learn to trust and believe in them…that one day you will see them without a doubt! I wa t everyone to feel this way…I WILL make everyone feel this way. Runescape gave me that chance…to know what true friendship really is. Together, we flew in the sky , over the ocean , in a dream that lasted forever! With unbroken bonds of the new existence. I DECLARE THESE BONDS UNBROKEN. I will fly with them forever in a dream that turns to the new reality.I am a blinding light made new, emptied of all preexisting darkness, and I will guide those in the darkness.Believe me..when I say I will do something, I will most likely do it eventually. I live to be the very best, not fine, not decent, good, amazing or outstanding. I live to be the very best.I burned fires of infinitism down the longest path that existed for eternity shedding tears…with my friends in the most magical and legendary lake of all time.These friends are the light that shines in the distant…you are the one in the darkness…looking for that light! That light. Is the only thing there to trust, you leave it to chance. One day you find it but it disappears. You can only have faith. That the light is still there. I found that light and I constantly lose it but I learn to trust it even more. I WILL win THIS. I DECLARE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
I JUST want to win a contest already!!! I WILL I Would like to see best friend cards.

Jessica said...

I'd like to see some primary colored b.day invites. I am having a Mickey Mouse themed party for my almost three year old and primary colors would be perfect for the invites.

La Pixie said...

I think wedding cards with silhouettes would be really cool!

Tracy said...

I would like to see Miss You or Thinking of you cards. I could sent updated pictures of my boys to people I was thinking aobut.

Erika said...

I like the thank you cards. I would like to see Easter cards or back to school cards

Andrea said...

I would buy the fantastic Boy birth announcements like the Jason one. Love that

Sarah Berry said...

How about a just because I love you card. I am sure that many families that live far away would love to recieve photo cards just because. I think that it would be very sweet.

An iMperfect wIfe said...

I think you should consider a package deal where you could send "smiles across the miles" for kids who are growing. If I designed my own with kids I'd do a "my first" series so that you could send the first bath, first day at the beach, first plane ride... at a package rate people across the miles could watch their grandkids, nieces, nephews, cousins, etc grow!

Diane said...

Awesome giveaway thanks for the chance to win! I would love to see birth announcements with monkeys!

diane@diane-anderson.com

goin-crazy said...

I think I would pink the Photo Collage Valentines card or the brown and pink valentines card. We have family spread all over so this would be a great way to send out cards from the kids and include pics

Ashley said...

I would make Save the Date cards for my wedding. My fiance and I really want picture cards, but we can't afford them. This would be a great place to get them from.

Joyful Noise said...

I've always wanted to send April Fools Day cards that say - Have a horrible day - April Fools! But then again my sense of humor is a little off....

Thanks for the giveaway...

paula h said...

How about a Think of You card or a You're so Special type of card? It's nice to send card even when there is no holiday or celebration day attached to it.

Emily said...

Gosh, you've got so many different designs I don't even know what to suggest!
Great giveaway! Thanks for offering it!

Gretel said...

How about a Rock Star theme? Guitars and drums....stars, and microphones.
Way cute stuff!

gretelbaker@gmail.com

Sharon Dixon said...

I agree that Thank you cards with pics would be a great idea. That way people who werent there would be able to see your child celebrating.

Rita T. said...

I didn't see graduation cards. That would be great.

auntrene said...

Are you kidding, they have it all. What a great Site. The only thing I could think of is just maybe a Thinking of you Card, or Just Because Card. Something you could send any and everyday not because of a holiday.
Great, Thanks for sharing!

One of the things I did not see on the site was Graduation Cards. That would be extra cool to make up photo graduation cards to invite or thank people.

Beautiful cards!

I love the Mother's Day Collage. I'd love to do this for my best friend :)

claire said...

Great cards! I love silhouettes, so it would be fun to see some silhouette designs on the cards. Or maybe someone could submit pictures of side-views and then you could turn them into silhouettes! Thanks!

3LittleByrds said...

I'd love to see Baby Dedication cards as this is an important event in our family when babies are born. Cute cards.

holiday thank you cards, like for christmas

Nancy said...

I think a "I'm headed away to college - please keep in touch" card with the student's name, college address, phone, e-mail and photo would be great! If more people from home stayed in touch with a student, that first semester away at college would be less lonely!

Mommy's Home!! said...

I didn't see any birthday cards - that would be really nice - a collage of birthday pictures to share with family that couldn't come to the party.

Teri said...

It would be really cool to see some kind of picture recipe cards...I know that makes it difficult w/ the type of paper needed for photos & then to be written on for recipes, but I think that would be cool!

Anonymous said...

They have such a great selection. It is hard to see what could be added... Very nice website.

I didn't see any "just saying hi" cards. Those are nice to send.

micaela6955/Michele P. said...

I don't necessarily need a special occasion to send out a card, and I would love to have one just say Hi-but in Spanish, HOLA! for my hubbys family and friends so we can take a family portrait or send out a pic of the kids to show how much they have grown that year...

micaela6955 at msn dot com

Andreah said...

The only thing I could think of to be added would be my ideal birth announcement which would have purple and paisley on it. Thanks!

Erika Lynn said...

I would create my own "feel better" card with a picture of me and my sisters for our great grandmother who just had heart surgery and is a trooper at 82 years old. I would like something in blue and yellow because I know she would like that. Thanks!

Donna M. Clark said...

I would love to see a card with maybe trucks along the border, or maybe even in the shape of a truck. That would be ideal for me.

~Sandy~ said...

I can't think of anything that needs to be added...they seem to have covered everything! I really like the birthday invites...easy and cute! thanks so much for the giveaway

Earthtokarmen said...

I was thinking that some graduation announcement cards where you could put the senior/college picture on them would be a beautiful addition to the collection.

Really cool site, loved their cards, did'nt see any Easter cards though, thanks for the great giveaway

tristanjh said...

I would like a greater selection of holiday cards. For example, I would love to send my family pics for Valentines Day, but the only one offered is too girly for my two boys. I like retro inspired prints with a modern flare.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Qwill said...

What about some thank you cards for coaches that could have a team photo.

Proud Wife of a U.S. Soldier said...

Being an Army Wife, I think the company should add Homecoming Announcements. Having a loved one serve overseas is so rough. When they come home we get so excited & want to share it with the entire home that our Soldier is back in our arms! Maybe Announcements that say "Welcome Home Soldier!" with a picture of the couple on the front would be cute. Also, the date & time the couple reunited would be very cool. I would LOVE to buy cards like these.

cookiert said...

Hmm...what about Happy Easter cards?

Lori said...

My daughter really wants a halloween birthday in June so the Molly Halloween Card would be great to customize as an invite for her party. THanks!

I've been incredibly sentimental lately as my oldest just turned 20...I'm the mom of a wonderful college sophomore and am always looking for blank cards or cards that encourage and tell her to dream dreams, follow them, etc. Giving her 100%, leaving it in God's hands and seeing where he takes her....

Thanks for this great giveaway!
Blessings!

Thrifty Thread Chic said...

I would like to suggest "Memory Cards". Unfortunately, in 2008 my 24 yr old daughter was killed in January and on Dec. 7, 2008 my 21 yr old son did not wake up. Other parent can give children birthday cards every year, but I think it would be nice to create a memory card with pics and things about your loved one that you would like others to remember anytime you would like.

I would love to have a card that can be personalized with a photo offered.

Amanda said...

I don't know if you have had this idea or not, but it would be really nice to have a photo card that says "Pray for [name(s)] today"- sort of like prayer reminder cards to put on people's refrigerators. You have some lovely designs, by the way. Thanks for your generosity! God bless you!

Maybe, a Thank You Card that has a place to write a personal note also. Thanks :)

I wish you had some cards specifically for adoption. My sister and her husband will be adopting, but he or she will most likely be a toddler, and not a newborn.
