We are LIVE! I could write a long post about the transition, but the new site says it all. Check it out! We have tons of product offerings and a branding gallery that is growing by the day. We are celebrating our new launch with 25% off new products - hurry, go now! www.luxecetera.com
We have been SO busy and let me just say how THANKFUL we are all for that … and for all of you! Although our web site isn’t finished quite yet, we have decided to start releasing some of our new products early. Because we have had so many requests for the things we have sneak peeked we just can’t hold back anymore. To get any of the goodies that you see below all you have to do is send payment via paypal to payments@luxecetera.com. You will then receive your templates within 24 hours.

The paperwork (rather, the box with a big notebook full of important legal documents that I hardly understand) came in today! Luxecetera is official… complete with cute little stock certificates! Ha! We’re opening the bubbly over here! It feels great to have that one knocked off our to-do list.
We have been getting quite a few inquiries about our rates, time frame and process so we wanted to go ahead and give a status update on Luxecetera. The web site has officially been designed and is being sent to the programmers as we speak. Our incorporation papers have been approved and we should have the official papers any day now. (So excited!!) Rates have been established and so has our time frame for projects. We are currently adding clients to our waiting list. We will begin work for those on our list beginning April 1st. If you are interested please email for more information. Click here for our rates.
A few people have also inquired as to how the whole communication process will work. Will it still be a personal experience? YES IT WILL!!! NO WORRIES! The reason we joined our businesses in the first place was so we could pool our resources but still retain the personal level of professionalism we have always been so proud to offer our clients. We are going to be just as personal and connected as ever, we promise.
Lisa and I will be co-directors of the brand development division. When you hire Luxc to develop your brand you will work directly with one person (Lisa or I) the whole way through. But the BEST part is that we will all work together to fully develop the best brand possible for YOU and YOUR business.
Eva will be directing the Fine Stationery and Templates for Photographers divisions. Eva will also be helping with brand development, heading up the Album Design division and whatever else comes up. Oh … and Lisa and I will also be helping with these things as well!
Stay tuned because we still have a lot more to share of what’s to come at Luxc.
This is another new template collection that is in the works. We are affectionately calling it Itty Bitty right now. Another 5×7 folded birth announcement template set that will include original illustrations and patterns. Stay tuned for more!

Just another sneak peek of what’s in the works at LUXC … We will also be offering custom album design. We are working on the pricing and options as we speak so there will be more information to follow soon. Stay tuned … more to come!
This will be the first post of several over the next week or so with sneak peeks and information about what is happening at Luxecetera. Along with wrapping up our individual clients, making decisions about our new brand and designing new things we have also been working on our product offerings. MANY new template collections are in the works, including a line called Luxecetera Signature. Luxc Signature will include several collections (baby and holiday to start). Below is a quick sneak peek of Luxc Baby which will debuting in about a month. Luxc Baby is a set of 5 folded 5×7 birth announcement templates complete with 5 original signature illustrations, original pattern designs and 4 panels for a completely customizable look. This is just one of the MANY new things that will be debuting in the boutique. Stay tuned for more!

I’m sorry to say that I cannot take on new clients at this time… I am nearly to the point of being overwhelmed. I am still just one person at this point and find that I can’t do it all. I am looking forward to being three people very soon! HaHa!
We (Lisa, Eva and I) are trying to tie up all of our current clients and projects so we can start fresh with our new brand. We will be publishing new rates and packages soon and are scheduled to have our new site up in a month or so. Be on the lookout! We will be starting a waiting list for Luxecetera in the coming weeks.
Walter is my brother… you would have never guessed that, huh?! Well, he is. And he is really a cool dude! He’s has decided to join us (Lisa, Eva and I) in our design endeavors and has been working on all kinds of awesome designs and illustrations since he started a few weeks ago. You will not believe the talent he has in his pinky finger! Unbelievable! He’s a natural illustrator and has taken our work to a whole new level! He’s the cute one in the two images below. If you see him on the street - be sure to tell him hello and “YOU ROCK!” If you scroll down a little further - you can see some of the projects he’s been working on with me.
Some of these are final logos, some of them are lonely orphans and some of them have not even been presented to the client… so shhhh.
He is also responsible for the Luxecetera Illustrations. Oh yeah - and he’s working on some killer new templates for photographers that will debut when our new site goes live. Here’s a little peak from one of our new template lines.
A couple more things…. One: Pray he doesn’t tire of working on girly logos. Two: if you have any projects that lean toward the masculine side - shoot us an email - Walter would enjoy a break from all this feminine stuff. (;
Get ready for that BIG, BIG, BIG news I’ve been talking about….
I am so proud to announce a new journey that I am about to embark on. Eva Talley, Lisa Reichman and I are combining our talents, resources, clients and businesses into one entity… Luxecetera {lŭks sět’ər-ə} where art meets luxury. The three of us have been friends and respected colleagues for quite a while and it finally occurred to us that we could pool our resources and do more of what we love … and do it together! Luxecetera is a design boutique that will specialize in three main areas; fine stationery, templates for photographers and brand development.
We have so much to share (AND TO DO!!!) so for now that’s all we can reveal. Look for regular updates of our progress on all of our blogs. We are so excited to be working together and we cannot wait for you to see some of our collaborative work.
For now - we are all working together on current client projects… trying to wrap things up so we can start fresh. We are still in the process of combining accounts, client files and portfolios as well as getting our site / shopping cart up and running. I am sure you all have lots of comments and questions so feel free to email us at our current email addresses.
