Creative ways to use Take Notice designs
Design inspiration from real orders:
In April, I received 2 standout orders that demonstrated this idea by using existing designs in creative ways...
Who says you can't use a save-the-date design as a birth announcement? Certainly not us! We say YES to creativity and encourage our retailers to think outside the box (or sample). Help your customers understand that just because a design is shown as an anniversary announcement, doesn't mean it can't be used as a birthday invite!
Almost all of our designs can be used for a variety of occasions, so go ahead, give your customers what they really want--more choices!

Inscriptions, Inc., in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado, created a high school graduation announcement using one of our most popular wedding save-the-dates, WD012.
Instead of using childhood photos of the bride and groom, they used a childhood photo, paired with a modern senior picture of the graduate. The text on the cover read "We used to imagine her future...Now we know what it is"
We thought this was a very creative spin on our "imagine the future" design! Happy Graduation Sarah and best wishes on your future endeavors!

Needle in a Haystack, in Dallas, created an elegant menu for a wedding
reception by tweaking a wedding announcement design.
They started with item WD017, then omitted the vellum band, satin tie ribbon and nixed the envelopes! (Removing these details saved them almost 50% retail!) Then they customized their text to display to their menu, added their personalized photograph, and Viola! A beautiful , personalized menu for their special day! Congratulations to Courtney & Evan! And thank you for choosing Take Notice for your special day!

Take Notice Staff News
It has been an eventful week at Take Notice, to say the least!
On Monday, we welcomed Amy to the Take Notice team, as our new assembly artist! We decided to take it easy on her this week, but we promise to start the interrogations next week and report back with a "getting to know Amy" post!
John and our design crew have been working hard finalizing the new designs we'll be debuting at the 2009 National Stationery Show this month! This week he was working on perfecting our 2009 Holiday updates. Let me tell you, some VERY exciting new looks are on the way!
As for me, I was able to sneak away for a few days off to attend the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival at Mt. Whistler, in B.C, Canada! The weather was beautiful, perfect for a day at the mountain! Unfortunately, my snowboard and I had a minor disagreement, that resulted with ski patrol escorting me to the emergency room! I had planned on bringing home a souvenir, but a fiberglass cast really wasn't my first choice!
A special thanks to all of my fellow employees for pitching in to help! I'm lucky to be part of such a great team!
Happy May Day!
