Founded in 2006 by two moms from the family-rich community of Naperville, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, Marmalade Ink is an online retailer of Premium Photo Announcements.  Co-founders Pascale Pace and Alicia Johnson based this business on providing personalized announcements consumers were asking for.  Pascale Pace, who ran a Chicago-based graphic design firm, turned stay-at-home mom was continuously being asked to design birth announcements and invitations for friends and family and looking for a way to combine her artistic abilities and desire to work from home.  Enter, Alicia Johnson, Professional Photographer and Graphic Designer.  Alicia has owned her own professional photography studio for over 12 years now and during that time has been designing announcements and invitations for her clients.  The growing demand for unique and exciting greetings was enough for Alicia to approach Pascale with the idea of an online photo announcement business.   Together with their husbands they founded Marmalade Ink L.L.C.
