“Near the forfront of the next generation of parenting tools...Red Tricycle is not your mother's parenting aide. Readers are razr-phone-toting, book-club-joining moms who at least know what a blackberry is."

Seattle Post Intelligencer April 2006

Best of Both Worlds

Should you order your Baby Announcements and Birthday Invitations online for convenience, or head to a retail store to talk to a real person about exactly what you want?

When you order through online retailer Paper Locket, you get the best of both worlds - the opportunity to browse the extensive portfolio online to find exactly what you're looking for from the comfort of home, and the ability to pick up the phone and talk to the designer about customizing your creation, whether you want fit your horizontal picture into a vertical design, change the font or color, or brighten your washed out photo.

The Paper Locket website is a dream of inspiration for anyone who has amassed a treasure trove of kids photos, yet isn't exactly sure what to do with them all. Seattle artist and mom of three Wendy Morales spent 10 years creating paper crafts before evolving her business to incorporate digital arts. With it came a whole new world of possibility - from the variety of cards and invitations available, to the products she offers including photo books, canvas wall art and posters of children's artwork .

The children's artwork evolved as a labor of love when she walked into her son's 3rd grade class saw hand drawn faces of all the children hanging on the walls. Morales scanned the drawings and created a quilt-like piece featuring 20 heart-melting self portraits. Her art evolved with technology and she can now bring these beautiful faces to life on oversized gallery wrapped canvases, which have become hot sellers in school auctions throughout Seattle and the Eastside.

So after you've narrowed down your favorite designs, pick-up the phone and talk to Wendy Morales. She'll happily brainstorm with you to customize your art exactly how you want it. Creativity, customization and convenience - Paper Locket has it all.
