The Peanuts are at Minted!

Sunday, August 28, 2011
A few months ago, a friend of mine e-mailed me and told me about a holiday model/photography contest at Minted.  My sweet friend, wrote, "This is yours to win, Kim."  I was flattered but really did not think I had a chance.  However, I quickly e-mailed them a few photos and much to my surprise, I won. Then Minted asked me to send more photos in too.  I kind of forgot all about it until some blog readers e-mailed me concerned that the peanuts photos were on the Minted site.  Thank you for alerting me and making sure I had given consent.  It is very exciting to see the peanuts featured on some holiday cards at Minted.

For allowing Minted to use the images, I won a credit toward some holiday cards.  And I also earned a special discount to share with friends and family.  I am not permitted to post it here or on Facebook but would be glad to share it with you if you are a friend and plan to order from them.

Here are some of the shots they have chosen to use (but I seem to discover a new one each day):

I laughed SO hard when I noticed that when Kate is with the boys, we are the "Sullivan" family.  But in this photo of her alone (on the card below) she is the Cheng family!!!

This is the original photo I took last summer at the beach with my old D-80:)

Kate is featured pretty prominently on the Mommy card page.  They are having a good promotion now on Mommy calling cards.  I think you can get 25 or 30 free cards. I ordered some of the above style in green.  So, head on over to Minted to see the 3 peanuts and look at their great card selections.

  1. I noticed the pictures of Kate when I ordered mommy cards for a friend and wondered if you knew it. I'm relieved it is a legitimate use of your images. Picture perfect peanuts!!

  5. Hi Kim

    These are so cute! I must admit I thought your "xmas card surprise" was going to be that you were going into business with photography and greeting cards!!

    I have not commented in forever but life has been very busy. I still check in daily with your blog. We ended up moving back to Atlanta from NJ, and are so happy to be "home". I'm also 7 months pregnant with twin boys!! Those are just a couple things that have kept me so busy, and I can only imagine with soon to be 4 boys I will be even busier.

    Hope all is well!

  13. Would you please come take my Christmas card picture? How on earth do you get such fabulous shots of all three of your adorable children? Every year we have to sacrifice one child, closed eyes, goofy grin etc.
