Hello, I am Elena Wilken, a graphic designer and a photographer. WELCOME to my photography's home on this corner of the web. HAPPY TO SEE YOU HERE. Stay a while, see the world through my eyes and lens, let your soul be inspired, and don't leave without a smile.
... is being released tomorrow. Newsletter will go out in the evening. Sign up for the monthly free template downloads here, if you haven't yet. Enjoy, and pay it forward! :)
The templates match the free marketing set made available for download in January '10.
The files will also be featured and available for download on Michelle Black's website, The Photo Professional.
Well, well, well... I'm in the middle of a treatment for a second really bad cold, in the past five weeks. I'm not sure if it is funny, sad or just simply an inconvenience. Audrey was diagnosed with walking pneumonia, a little while after getting over the stomach flu. The 104.4 fever, the first day, had me quite scared. And yes, we do wash hands a LOT, use sanitizer, and are very much aware of the good old rules of proper hygiene, but the way the doctor put it I was just unfortunate to have this happen again and Audrey is at the age when she's building up her immune system and this is 'normal'.
It's life ;) ...It sure feels like a country song, though!
All that aside, or I should say because of it, February's freebie is going out a bit late (Sunday evening to be more precise). {Go to EW Couture Collection site and subscribe to the mailing list, if you are not on it and would like to receive the monthly freebies.}
The set of bookmarks will also be available for download on the Portfoliositez blog, during the coming week.
The shoppe will be opening on March 2nd. I am really content with the date, as it has a deep meaning for me. My dad passed away unexpectedly at 37, 15 years ago, on a late February morning (I was 15 at the time).
I feel this would be a really awesome way to celebrate and honor him and his entrepreneurial spirit. Dad grew up in a communist Romania. Different times... Even though plenty of times he had to skip school to tend to the animals on their small farm and help around the house, that didn't keep him from working hard, learning things on his own and making a good living for mom, myself and my brothers. As we grew up he encouraged us a lot and pushed us to 'go and be somebody' and follow through with the things we want to do in life. He was a firecracker :) ... Love you dad. It wasn't easy, but both you and mom did a great job with all three of us ;) Thank you!
Just a quick reminder, for those who asked for one.
If you haven't had a chance to download the card templates before today, visit MCP - they will be available for download on the blog. If you enjoy them, take the time to signup for free monthly inbox goodies, and spread the word ;)
Thanks for stopping by. Wherever you are enjoy your day, and stay warm! :)
The camera breaking down is somewhat a blessing in disguise, just because I now have a little more time available to pour in the EW Couture Collection project. Here is a peek to one of the pages of the website. As of right now only two of the pages are active, and one of them allows people to sign up for the monthly inbox goodies. Here is the link, if you would like to sign up - www.ewcouture.com.
... Lovely things, to keep me busy. Not too busy though, to keep me from having a lot of fun with my husband and my girl this long weekend. The other day we went to the park, to feed the ducks. We had an awesome time! I do wish I would've had a camera for that! ...But you know what? A cute point and shoot is on my Christmas list now ;)
Tomorrow we're going to the lake again. It is such a refreshing things watching a two year old experiencing new things, enjoying life in her own childish ways and the contentment and smiles on her face while she watches Paul and I together. One of those things that you just can't put value on... Priceless.
Here is the last set of free templates that was and will be again up for grabs.
The first two business card size referral card template sets, that I have made available a while back:
