The zebra print seems to be popular this wedding season. Here are a couple of ideas using the zebra print. Like the general design of a different invitation or card but still want to use the zebra print? We can easily customize to suit. The options are endless.
As a side note, all designs are back on the site. Thank you for your patience during the last few days. I'm so relieved to have everything back to normal again!

Site Issues
If you've been on the site or trying to get on it within the last 48 hours you may have noticed that there's been some upload issues as well as general "where did it all go?" issues. We've been working hard with our host provider to figure out what's going on and to restore the site. Neadless to say, it's been a bit of a stressful weekend. Hopefuly all the designs will be visible shortly and all will look as it once did.
Thank you for your patience. All questions/ concerns can still be emailed to dolcettodesigns@gmail.com

Photo Birth Announcment and Matching Thank You Card
I just had to post this adorable custom design I did the other day. Isn't this little guy just too cute?!? In fact, many of this weeks orders have been custom, which has been fun for me. Sometimes people ask me about the matching Thank You card idea. It can be whatever you want it to be. In this case the family just asked me to create the thank you with one of this photo. Most people write their note of thanks on the back of the actual announcement, others like a seperate card. Anyways, here's an idea of what's possible.

My Baby is 2!
It's amazing how fast time goes by. Today my little girl turned two! We had a low key kind of day since we already celebrated last weekend and will be having another party in May when we're visiting family. She's a spunky little girl with lots of character. We love her to bits!

Baby Memorial Cards
We are pleased to offer infant memorial photo cards as keepsakes to help those who have experienced the loss of a child. The digital jpeg image is available at no charge. Printed photo cards are also available at a discounted price. Just over a year ago, some of our dear friends baby was born stillborn. When you or someone close to you experiences the loss of a child, your life is never the same. When our second child was born I couldn't help but think of the loss that our friends experienced only a year previous. So many mixed emotions. Each new life is a gift and should never be taken for granted.
Our friends were blessed to be able to have their baby photographed by a Now I Lay me Down to Sleep photographer. NILMDTS is a not for profit organization of professional photographers that connects parents to a local pro photographer to have photos taken of their child. What an incredible gift for parents during such a sad time. I recently came across NILMDTS several times which made me think about what kind of memorial announcements are available to parents to experience such a loss. After much research I learned that there is hardly anything out there on the huge world wide web (at least not that I found). Most of what I found were questions in a variety of forums written by parents, all wondering where to find memorial announcemenets, infant bereavement cards for their baby. All babies are precious and should be announced. It wasn't long before I decided to make infant memorial cards available on the site. If you are interested in this service please contact me directly at dolcettodesigns@gmail.com, as I would be honored to help you create a special keepsake.
The memorial cards can be given out at a memorial service, sent out as thank you cards, etc. Join me in helping break the silence of infant loss/ death.

Kim Mallory Photography
I am thrilled to post about an amazing BC Lower Mainland Photographer, Kim Mallory. Kim has been incredibly generous by allowing us to use a collection of her photographs for our designs. Yesterday I posted a bunch of new designs in both the boy and girl birth announcement galleries. These new designs are bright, fresh and perfect for spring. They can be found throughout the design galleries, therefore you will be unable to see them all by only going to the "what's new?" tab. When asked what my favourite design is I am at a loss for words, I simply don't have one anymore.
Kim specializes in newborn, child and family photography. She is also an incredible wedding photographer. Kim has a passion for photography which is evident in her beautiful work. Live in the BC Lower Mainland and are thinking of getting some photos taken? Check out her website at http://www.kimmallory.com/, she also has a blog (which you can connect to through the website) as well as a Facebook page.
Below are a few of the new designs featuring photography by Kim Mallory.
Thank you so much for the images Kim; they are truly beautiful!
