Take Notice: Winning Designs!

Take Notice Card Company celebrates a winning wedding invitation!

Portland, OR,  May 21, 2010- Take Notice Card Company is celebrating! Chosen in a dream wedding giveaway, the Photo Keepsake invitation by Take Notice won the hearts of online voters over other entries as the invitation to announce the happy couple's upcoming nuptials.  The Everyday/VOWS contest, co-sponsored by VOWS, Colorado's wedding collective, and KWGN-TV's "Everyday," included more than $75,000 worth of wedding goods. The contemporary, photographic invitation was

nominated by Lani Kessler of Write Occasions, a retailer of the Take Notice line in Denver, Colorado. Thank you Lani for representing our line.

The award winning card features state of the art digital printing, the Take Notice photographic specialty retouching and a unique tent fold format, providing the perfect keepsake display for friends and family. The winning couple, Archie Martinez and Lauren Doyle are as cute as can be, and make the perfect statement of joy and love with their photograph.

No strangers to the importance of marking life's celebrations with a photograph, the founders of Take Notice, Deborah and John Field, have been creating award winning photographic cards for over twenty years. When Deborah and John's son, Myles, was born, John created a birth announcement that featured a photo of the newborn as a “Wanted” poster. Encouraged by its enthusiastic reception, John and Deborah were spurred on to continue the creation of a popular line of custom birth announcements. A couple of years later, another family celebration inspired a new direction in their product line. John’s mother was turning 75, and he wanted to create a special card to honor the joyful  occasion. John knew that only a photograph could convey the unique character of his mother's life, and selected a favorite picture from her youth.  Tinting it to produce a colorized effect thrilled his mother, and a new line of fine arts cards was born.
