Smilebox is featured in the pages of Working Mother magazine this month, and we’ve collaborated with their editors to bring their readers and our valued customers a FREE Premium design, Postcards from Mom ($3.99 value). Happy colors of tangerine, lime, grape, and blueberry are used in this day-brightener design with layout options for a boy or a girl. Follow a special animation with a personalized message and up to two photos or video clips.

Email this playful long-distance love note, or print at home or to a local retail store as a 5×7 flat card to tuck under a pillow or slip into a suitcase. You can also post it to Facebook or a blog, burn it to a DVD, or save it to video for a photo frame. Your little one will love hearing your voice or seeing photos of a favorite memory combined with words of affection, encouragement or appreciation.

In a nutshell, Hallmark UK is offering its ecards users a cobranded version of Smilebox, and they are promoting it a lot on their www.hallmark.co.uk website.   Hallmark UK is also creating Smilebox designs using themes from its cards and its popular characters, and Smilebox then adds those designs to its worldwide catalog.  Stay tuned for some fun new designs we are creating with Hallmark UK, some to release soon for Easter and for Mother’s Day!
