Year in Review Newsletter

With our Christmas cards, we like to send out a little newsletter about the events that went on during the year. We don’t get to see a lot of our family and friends throughout the year as they span from Hawaii, BC, Ontario, FL, CA, well all over. This year we decided to create a little infographics newsletter. Kev was psyched! Anything where he gets to design he is always on board for. We were totally inspired by the amazingly talented Amanda Jane Jones (LOVE HER!) and by Nick Feltron (so cool, huh?).

Kev worked his magic and made an awesome graphic for us. We got them screen printed at a local shop in downtown Troy and voilรƒย ! the finished product…

We love getting a little extra creative with things!
p.s. somewhere in all the revisions we made, we lost/forgot the names under each pie chart. Whoops. Can you guess who’s is who’s?

  1. we received ours yesterday! Love love LOVE! and I liked that the pie charts didn’t have your names, it was cute to “guess” who’s was who’s (even though there was no guessing needed, knowing full well Kev’s cheeseburger addiction and Rowan’s preference for Cheddar Bunnies)

  2. Aww, I love it! Very fun. I’m a big fan of anything that involves a pie chart *and* a flickr mention. ๐Ÿ™‚ Well done!

  3. so cool!!

  4. You are too cute! This is great!

  5. This is wonderful! So creative, love it!
