They are the same except for the header, correct? I vote for A.

I think I'm blind Suzanne! They look the same to me. It's a wonderful design. The pictures are my favorite ones. Carol

Both look great, but I vote for B :o)
Hoping you all are doing well!

How stupid of me Suzanne! Yes option B is my choice. I must be looking at too many legal documents. Carol

Melissa said...

I vote for A ... I like the trees kept in there and the name across the bottom.

B looks like its blocked together and busier.

Definately A

Elle said...

I am going to go with B. From a design stand point they are both great, but the dark trees are what my eyes are drawn to instead of the children in A.
I did vote in your new nifty widget.

I'm voting with Melissa...same input as she gave! :-)

These are wonderful! Can't wait until the day that all my dumb application paperwork is over and I can do the fun stuff like adoption announcements!

They are lovely. I like B best - in A you kind of miss the "Chandler Family" line.
Although whichever you choose will be perfect. The pic of the kids waving is priceless!

kate said...

I utilized the nifty poll widget (thanks for editing or I would've overlooked it) to vote for A. It looks like a tight race--which means they're both winners. ;>

Personally, I like B better since you can see more of the kids, But the options are both just gorgeous and bring me to tear!!!

One thing you also may want to consider.....when I've ordered pics of the kids with the white "hazy" shadowing, the elderly members of our family complain that they can't see the pictures very well. "Soft Focus". My mother-in-law swears she can't see any pics I give her with even soft focus on the edges. Why doesn't she wear her glasses to see these pics? She even wears her glasses to see these pics and still complains.

Personally I love all the uniqueness you can get out there these days. Unique I said, not off the wall.

Your photos are absolutely lovely. Just thought I'd give you the piece from the aspect of the elderly I've sent photos too though.
Best wishes, Alison

Melissa said...

I came back and used your nifty little widget.

Still voting for A ... love the kids, they're just adorable !!!

Hi Suzanne -
the announcements are VERY unique and attractive. I guess I am a copycat but I just used the link you provided and ordered Alexander's adoption announcements from the same company.
I voted for A.

hi there! I think B is better because you don't have the dark trees in the middle, taking your eyes away from the kids... and the trees don't really have anything to offer. I like your name at the bottom in A, but it does show up better in B... you don't have to hunt for it. I don't think it's blocky... it's beautiful!
(And A is good too, if you go with that.) My two cents... sandy

Laura said...

I vote for A. I think B takes away from the St. Basils scene in the background.

both are beautiful though

Had to look back and see your children. They are lovely. I adore the name Yuri and have a "new to me" "granddaughter" (my son Sergei's older sister's baby) who is named Yuliana.

Hope the homeschooling is going well; wish I could with this crew... The "Family Matters" book is one of the best I've read; also the books by Raymond and Dorothy Moore (at least they really fit our lifestyle).
