Colleen and Michael's Winter Wedding

I had the pleasure of working with Colleen (and Sarah) on Colleen's upcoming wedding to Michael. We were under a very tight deadline and created a custom wedding invitation, response card, and monogram. Here are the final versions of all as well as several of our monogram prototypes. (All last names have been changed)







Congratulations to Colleen and Michael!

Lilly's Birth Announcement

I'm so happy that I got to work with Heather on a birth announcement for her daughter Lilly. She chose one of my existing designs and we were able to get it out pretty quickly.



Congratulations to Heather and Aaron! Welcome Baby Lilly!

Double-Happiness Monogram/Favor Tag

Erica contacted me because she was responsible for making the favors and favor tag's for her sister's upcoming wedding. She provided me with a sample of their wedding invitation which included a pattern similar to the background shown here. This is our final version...she printed multiple images on cardstock and then used a circle punch to punch out the individual tags.



Can't wait to see pictures of the final favors!

Rebekkah's Calling Card - Business Card

Rebekkah was looking for some help designing her calling card - something that she could leave not only with new acquaintances but also with potential employers. She wanted something swirly and using a deep purple and black. Her plan is to print through vistaprint.


Love it Rebekkah!

Jenn & Noli's Baby Shower - Round 2 - Owl Theme

I love baby showers - it's not a secret! And I really love them when they are for a customer that I have worked quite a lot with! I originally worked with Jenn on the paper products for her wedding...and now she's having a baby! This is the 2nd invitation that I've created for her to celebrate the upcoming birth of her baby girl. I love the color changes on the Owl Themed Shower Invite!

Amy and Joel's Custom Monogram and Save-the-Date

I really enjoyed working with Amy on the Save-the-Date card for her upcoming wedding to Joel. She wanted something crisp and clean and had a couple of ideas to share. Based on her wishes, we came up with not only the custom STD, but also the matching monogram. She'll have them printed through vistaprint which is super easy to use.

I love the design - don't you?

Rennie and John's Wedding Monogram

Zophia's First Birthday - Owl Invitation/Party

I can't believe that sweet little Zophia is turning one! Time does fly! Zophia's mom is hosting a birthday party and decided on an Owl theme. We used one of the cute girl owls in the totally fun green and pink color scheme --- which resulted in a super cute, girly first birthday invite!




Throw in some cake flags and some table centerpieces and the party is just about ready!
