BABY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Recently I completed
close to 60 baby announcements.

I designed & constructed
the announcements and their inserts..
as well as took the inserted photo
one week after Faye was born.

Still need to finished
about 15 more
to have as extras
and to give to Evie.

Don't forget to check out
her photo blog.

FAYE PATRICIA MARTIN

So my excuse
for not posting in a while
is we had a baby.

Faye was born on
March 2nd at 3:09 p.m.

And I created a photo/video blog
dedicated to showcase her progress.

CD PACKAGING

I am in the process 
of printing a cutting 
CD sleeves 
for two of my releases.

These sleeves then go into 
their own sleeve 
of cover paper 
from a collection of paper 
that I have had laying in a box 
from school.

When I get further along 
I will take more photos of 
the finished product.
