A co-worker friend pointed out that I'd mentioned in Jack's 6 Week post that I took some photos for a special project but never shared what that was. Most of you received it in the mail, Jack's birth announcement. I knew that I wanted to do a superhero birth announcement ever since my BFF Cathy pointed out that pretty much any name with "Power" sounded like a superhero. Then, come to find out, Jack Power is, in fact, a Marvel comic book boy superhero. So there you go. Also, please note that we often refer to Jack as "Jack Jack," who we found out (we're out of the loop) is the baby from "The Incredibles." Interestingly, his name is Jack-Jack Parr, which is pretty close to Jack (Jack) Power. It was meant to be.
I realized that with a graphic design Art Director sister, I had some resources at my disposal, namely one of her artist co-workers. So the wonderfully talented Tait Jeter took the idea and ran, and came up with the above, Jack's birth announcement. He even created some cool address and return address labels for the accompanying orange envelopes. The cards were 5x7, and were technically post cards that I could have sent without envelopes, but I didn't want them to get messed up in transit, so I went the envelope route. I used a website called Winkflash to print them. They turned out so well, I love them.
