New striped birth announcements
These are so cool, and so versatile! There are 10 designs with two bonus variations, and they come in both pink and blue versions. Just about everything on the cards can be changed - the text, of course. But you can also change the size of the picture box, or make the distressed layer more or less visible - or get rid of it altogether for a clean, modern look.
The set of all 10 cards is $50 downloaded, or you can buy single cards for $6 each. Send paypal to Heather@lovebugsphotography.com with a note of whether or not you're buying the full set, or which design(s) you would like. If you order individual designs, you'll receive both the pink and the blue versions.

Yeah, it's July. Christmas seems so far away, but in photography world, it's just around the corner. This is a set of 12 designs with 6 variations that are a little mix of several styles - clean, modern, distressed, etc.
The templates are so easy to use - each photo box is a layer, you'll just drag your photo onto the layer just above that photo box. Right click create clipping mask and there you have it - whatever part of the photo is on top of the photo box area shows through, anything outside of it doesn't. Much easier than cropping and guesstimating only to find out you cropped and guessed wrong!
The set of templates is available for download for $60. To order, go here and check out using the shopping cart. These are the 2008 holiday cards. I'll get your link to you once I get your order. It's a pretty big file - 75.4MB zipped - so sit back and read a book, drink some ice tea, relax for a while. You can also Paypal me at Heather@lovebugsphotography.com - just let me know what you're ordering!

Pimp my Photocart!
Photocart is an awesome program, with a ton of capabilities and customizations that can make your life easier as a photographer. But a lot of photographers don't have the time or inclination to do the work necessary to take advantage of Photocart's capabilities.
Is your Photocart site sad because it doesn't look so great? Are you not feeling the love? Lovebugs Design can help you out. We'll do the not-so-fun work so you can get back to the photography part of your job!
Here are some sites I've set up recently:
Kallhoff Portraits
Little Cupcake Photography
Roberts Photography
Kami Laux Photography
Alison Stumpf Photography
Jonnye Bower Photography
Barbara Breitsameter Photography
So what's it gonna cost me, you ask?
$50 will buy you a basic tweak, changing the colors and look of your site to make it more lovable. If you've already set up your price lists and just want to make things look a little nicer, this is what you want.
$75 will buy you the basic tweak, plus set up the accessory store, collections, etc. I'll also go over your current pricing set-up to make sure it's meeting your needs in the nicest, most efficient way to match your pricing structure.
$100 will buy you the whole shebang - I'll set up the price lists, accessory store, collections plus make it look groovy.
So what will I need from you to get this started?
First, you need to have Photocart up and running on your website.
Second, I need to know your user ID and password to log in to your Photocart site.
Third, I need to know the user ID and password to your FTP site.
Fourth, I need to know what you want me to do - this means all of your pricing info, collections info, what sort of colors/theme you want, etc. If you have a logo, send me the file. If you have a photo for the front page, send me the file. If you have a pretty background you want to use, send me the file. You get the picture! My e-mail is Heather@lovebugsphotography.com.
And, of course, you'll want to know how to pay me. Go to my Photocart site (of course!) and enter the access code Photocart. Click on the little red Pimp my Photocart box, add what you want to the shopping cart and check out. You can also Paypal me at Heather@lovebugsphotography.com - just let me know what you're ordering! If you're buying the whole shebang, you can also click on the little box right below here and it will take you directly to paypal. Easy peasy!

Color-Blocked Birth announcements
This is a set of 33 different templates, all 5X7, that can be changed in many ways - change the colors, or the size of the photo - and of course, change the text!
All files are layered PSD files, fully editable. They are very easy to use and the design is meant to be simple, so the photo of the beautiful newborn can be the focus of attention.
The full set of templates is $45 for a CD shipped priority mail. To order, go to my Photocart site and enter the access code Photocart. Click on the little red Templates box, add what you want to the shopping cart and check out. You can also Paypal me at Heather@lovebugsphotography.com - just let me know what you're ordering!
Collage templates
This CD has 100 different templates for making collages. All of the measuring and aligning has been done for you - just drop your image into the green boxes and resize so you can see the crop the way you want it!
There are templates for 4X5, 4X6, 5X7, 5X8, 10X20, 11X14, 16X20 and a few assorted other sizes. The sample only shows the 10X20, but that gives you an idea of what the templates look like. Whether you call them collages or storyboards, save yourself some time and effort by using a template!

You can try a couple of the templates by downloading the 11X14 "baby parts" or the 10X20 "funny faces" collage. They are simple to use - open your image, drag it to the psd file and position it over the green box where you want it to appear. On your layers palette, click on the photo layer and drag it on top of the green box layer. Right-click "create clipping mask" and your photo will only be visible where you have the green box! No guesstimating the crop of your image beforehand, you can resize and move it easily on the template to get it exactly as needed.
Senior graduation annoucements
Here is my newest set of templates - 20 fully-editable layered psd files for Senior announcements. They can easily be used again and again by changing the text for the year, and many of them would even be usable as non-graduation announcements and invitations. They are full of the grungy look and colors that are popular with today's seniors. Many of the colors can be changed very easily, so you can always match a color that isn't quite right for the image you are using.
The full set of templates is $55 for a CD shipped priority mail. To order, go to my Photocart site and enter the access code Photocart. Click on the little red Templates box, add what you want to the shopping cart and check out. You can also Paypal me at Heather@lovebugsphotography.com - just let me know what you're ordering!
