I can’t believe how fast the weekend flew by! Super excited to share with you another giveaway opportunity in celebration of the new year (yes, it’s coming!). Here’s your chance to win one of two free CUSTOM thank you card digital designs from the fabulous Canadian vendor, Dolcetto Designs. Dolcetto Designs specializes in photo cards, creating wedding thank you cards, birth announcements etc and each order can be fully customized. Shari, the owner, can take elements from different designs and create a card that her client dreams of.

So all you have to do is provide the photos and your information and you’ll receive a custom digital design which you can print off yourself at your local printer. So easy.

I asked Shari, the owner, to give us a bit of insight as to how her company started and what she does:

We live minutes away from Niagara Falls. We moved to Ontario from BC just over a year ago so that my husband could complete his degree in oenology/ viticulture to become a professional wine maker. I was an elementary school teacher in BC with a love for the arts. We have a 20 month old daughter and a 2 month old son, it’s busy times.

Towards the end of this past spring I was feeling the need to do something for myself that utilized my creative/ creating side. With a young child at home and one on the way, my options were limited. I kept wondering if I could have an online custom card business, it would be something that I would enjoy and could mostly do from home. With the itch not going away, I figured I would create a simple website and give it a go. A couple of months later I realized the need for a better site, and Dolcetto Designs was born. It’s been a total of 6 months since I started from scratch, and I have already had over 200 orders from over 170 different clients from all over Canada and just had my first from the US.

I’m recently had a lot of brides visit my site to order thank you cards and some invitations and save the dates. What’s relatively unique about my busines is that I sell a customized digital image (& for a very reasonable price), allowing people to do their own printing. This is by far the most ordered item on my site. In the age of the DIY wedding and soaring wedding costs, this is extremely popular with brides. I am looking foward to growing my business, adding new designs and seeing what 2010 has in store.

THANKS so much to Dolcetto Designs for this giveaway.

Ladies & gents, to enter, all you have to do is visit the Dolcetto Designs site and leave a comment for this post telling me which one is your favorite design!. Winners will be chosen on January 4th, just after the new year.
