Rock the Walls with our ProSelect plugins!  They are in the shoppe and ready to go.  I could seriously create wall layouts all day long with my kids photos with these.  They are so fun…and your customers will think so, too!  Both Multiple Portraits and Rockin’ Singles are available as plugins.  If you don’t have ProSelect yet, it is an excellent sales and design tool.  I have received many emails requesting we integrate our designs with this software, and I see now why you all love it so much!  

Rock the Walls info can be found at our  website, and purchased here.  Multiple Portraits function as templates within ProSelect, and Rockin’ Singles as room view images in combination with custom frame files from Firefly Frames.  Firefly Frames will make an expanded collection of frame files for ProSelect available in mid to late June. 

Happy Mother’s Day!  

Our Rockin’ Singles upgrade is available!  I have always loved animal prints…one of my first paintings ever was a collage of animal prints.  I guess the fascination continues.  I am loving the zebra prints in our Rock the Walls designs!  I have chosen to use them for my studio’s Rock the Walls’ print products.  This design works beautifully for integrating studio brand colors, and is so timeless.

For those who are curious, we will again be offering a Rock the Walls bundle of the Multiple Portraits/Rockin’ Singles when the Singles are released.  

If its that time of year for you, I hope you have a great Spring break!

Our Rock the Walls v2 Multiple Portraits are ready to go!  Visit our website at www.lifeartdesign.com for more info.  I fell in love with this layout by Studio 6.23 using Firefly Frames.  Ben and Mindy were gracious to allow me to draw it up for our templates.  They have such a fun sense of style and color.  Check out their amazing studio makeover on their blog! 

Rock the Walls Multiple Portraits V2 will be available to purchase on Tuesday!  The Rockin’ Singles upgrade will be available in 2 to 3 weeks (hopefully sooner, but I am not good at estimating timeframes!).  

We have included layouts with Firefly Frames’ new circle frame line, which we think are gorgeous.  (I love the unroutered/flat edge style.  ProLab Express is printing the circle prints.)  Here’s a sample of a 5×7 presentation file with these new frames.  They are so fun!

Our update is taking a little longer than expected, and so we will be releasing it next week.  We will post when it is ready.  We apologize for the delay for those who are waiting.  We will honor wppi discounts for an additional week due to the delay.  Here’s a sneak peak of a few of our 8×10 client presentation files… 

I hope you are enjoying WPPI in Las Vegas!  We are offering 15% off our design shoppe through 3/17/10 with discount code “wppi”.  If you are a homebody like me, you are of course welcome to use the code, too.

We are fine tuning Rock the Walls v2, and anticipate its release on 3/12/10.  I teamed up with another of my talented sisters and our paint brushes for this update, and we can’t wait to share it with you!       

Also, effective March 1, 2010, we will be contributing 5% of proceeds through the end of the year to 2 causes close to our heart…God’s Littlest Angels, a Haitian orphanage connected with a reputable adoption agency local to us, and the UMDF (United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation).  I have 8 nieces and nephews affected by this debilitating disease, and research funded by the UMDF regarding mitochondrial function is yielding invaluable information and hope for this and other diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and cancer.   

As we enjoy a little warmth this week in Michigan, we wish you sunshine and green grass!

I am excited to be adding products from the Dream Album Company for my studio customers this year!  Coordinating with our favorite designs from our Sketchy Borders, our image box templates are available as Dotty, Star and/or Rose sets.  We LOVE the Dotty set for seniors and weddings!  Each set contains multiple image box options for both the 5×7 and 8×10 boxes from the Dream Album Company (4 cover and 4 back designs are included for each size.).  In addition, several coordinating back of the mat designs (similar to the image box backs) are provided for both sizes in each set.  Each themed set sells for $25, or you may purchase all three together for $50.  You may purchase them here!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
