Cookbook Cover

Such a good idea for my son and daughter's school to produce a healthy eating cookbook. Here is our contribution besides recipes: the Cover!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our family and friends. We are thankful for health, happiness, lots of business and the wonderful people we get to work with.

Shirt Designs

After numerous design options, this is the final outcome of our shirt design for Fox Run Storage Sheds. Check them out, they have everything from chicken coops to garages to sheds.

Holiday Creativity

Sonia has an amazing business with such a cute name Peapods & Pansies. She does fine gardening and creates beautiful landscapes, containers, and wreaths. We designed her logo along with a holiday postcard to send out to her clients.

We got a Badge!

Glitter and Sparkle!

Ashley & Keith have been coming to me for their holiday dinner party invitations for the last couple of years. This year we took advantage of the new glitter paper, silver Envelofold and signature wrap around mailing label. Since she loves sparkle, I was more than happy to make it shine!

Save the Date

Jen and Jon are an amazing couple who came to us wanting an elegant, yet earthy Save the Date for their wedding at The Skytop Lodge. Jen's mom created this beautiful logo with J's since their last name will be Jacob and whether you see it or not doesn't matter, it's a piece of art. So we created this foldover Save the Dates held with silver brads and layered it onto a metallic swirl paper. We also created custom magnets to match!

We're Back!

OK, back to reality. Costa Rica was beautiful, exhausting, amazing and I'd go back in a heartbeat. The sunsets were almost unreal so I thought I'd share a couple photos with you.

We're going Surfing!

Paperworks Design Studio will be closed until Thursday, October 3rd. We like to have fun over here so we are going to Witch's Rock Surf Camp for a quick getaway. We'll make sure to take tons of pictures with our new high tech camera.

We are expanding!

Flashback to 10 years ago when I got married.... I got the urge to create wedding invitations for everyone I knew. I never charged for them, I bent over backwards to find the best products and best design based on their personality, style they wanted, and unique touches. It was only natural to design and make my own and try to squeeze it in while working in an advertising agency ;)

I attended the National Stationery Show and was so impressed with the products from Envelopments, which were new at the time, that I convinced the agency to become a dealer. When I received the kit filled with all of their products and color swatches I instantly fell in love. I used them for my entire wedding and all of my friends as well.

Flash ahead to 10 years later, I am now an official dealer only this time it's for my business. We are proud to offer all of their products, enclosures, papers, envelopes, etc. The best of the best in the paper world.

Hunterdon Central

As some of you may know, I do some work for my former high school, Hunterdon Central. I played soccer for them back in the day and now I have the honor of designing some things for them. I am also an avid snowboarder so I jumped at the chance to design the Ski and Snowboard Club logo.

Here are some soccer magnets that I did that are pretty much on every car I see driving in Flemington along with some Posters that are hung around at local eateries and stores and their Ski & Snowboard Club logos.

Banner Mania

We've been doing lots of banners whether it be for tradeshows, parties or outdoor advertising. Here is one we did for Pelican in Whitehouse, NJ. They were for the Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning.

Loving Lime Green!

Our newest design complete with a custom monogram for Sam. He LOVES tennis and wanted a tennis themed Save the Date and Invitation. Since we mostly do our designs as "packages" so everything has that nice consistent look, we were very excited to pull this bright and fun package together. This nice rounded corner magnet serves as the Save the Date and you will have to check back to see the coordinating Bar Mitzvah invitation.

Coffee Table Directory

So we were asked to come up with a Coffee Table book style directory for Seniors living in Hunterdon, Mercer, Somerset and Warren Counties. This is a publication of Hunterdon Helpline and 5,000 copies of Choices for Seniors will be distributed. It will link to Hunterdon Helpline's site and Facebook and will have a website with flip-the-page format as well as a printable pdf. You can take a look at the site now http://choicesforseniorsdirectory.com. Here is a sneak preview of the cover so keep a lookout for this if you provide a service, product or program for seniors and their caregivers.

Surprise 30th!

We love when Ashley comes to us to create anything "invitation" for her because she lets us do what we do best. This time it was for her husband's surprise 30th Birthday. Here is the finished product and now we're already onto her holiday party invitations!

A Chevron Package

We promised to show you the coordinating pieces to LaTosha and Brandt's cheveron style invitation package so here it is! We did square shape, tent-style Escort cards, Table Names and layered Menus. Flag shape die-cut Escort cards just for the bridal party which were stuck into lovely orange clementines. So cool! We also created their vertical Programs and Signs set into frames for the event. Take a look at everything.

Small Affair

Kenny came to us looking for an invitation to celebrate his daughter's wedding, that was going to be a small outside affair. Since only family was invited, he wanted to celebrate with friends at his house for a big party. So we came up with these invitations below for the "laid back summer affair."

Summer Parties

Every summer I get to celebrate two of my own kid's birthdays and it gets harder and harder each year to come up with a theme. Not every party necessarily has to have a theme, but it does make things a little easier. This year my daughter wanted the animal/reptile guy to come back that we had for my son's party and to tell you the truth, it was great for the adults too. Enzo has such a great sense of humor that I figured "why not do it again." So these are the invites that went out to please the boys and the girls. I am obsessed with string tie envelopes so I had to use them for a little something different.

Pool Time!

Since summer is vastly approaching, we've been called upon to design postcards, ads, and flyers for Sahara Pools in Lebanon, NJ. Take a look and feel free to stop in and check out their selection of pool supplies in the summer (Sahara Pools) and snowboard/skis in the winter (Hunterdon Ski & Snowboard).

Music to My Ears

One of our clients just started up a deejay/entertainment business and we've just finished up a Standup Banner display for them to promote themselves on stage. Take a look and if you're getting married, having a party or need some music at any type of event you should really check them out.

Busy Month

May has been a busy creative month for Paperworks Design Studio. We have been developing a lot of logos which tend to be our favorite. Besides the recent ones in earlier posts, here is another for a local insurance company who is rebranding their company. They were formerly Raritan Valley Insurance and are now known as Cedar Risk Management. Their new website is not up yet but here's a sneak peek of their logo. They participate in a lot of local events (marathons, etc) so they also wanted a secondary "fun" logo for shirts or hats or sponsorship banners.

And here is another logo we did a while ago for a local liquor store.

Once Upon a Time...

A bug and a fish got together. This is the story between one of my clients who want a personalized logo to represent their nicknames for each other. She calls him fish and he calls her bug. So cute! Well they were ecstatic when I designed this cute illustration to put on all of their wedding materials, from save the dates and invitations to table decor. The couple wants this to be more of a BIG PARTY than a typical wedding. Printed on white shimmer paper and enclosed in a metallic silver envelope up the elegance factor to this cute Save the Date.

I LOVE Chevron!

So I've been dying to do an wedding invitation with chevron stripes, something I am totally into right now and would paint my walls with it if I had the time... Well, this is the second invitation I've done for the Maritime Parc in Jersey City and I LOVE that place. LaTosha came to us because she was looking for "graphic design", not just an invitation house. Her colors are orange and gray and we are going to pull this whole look together with her Programs, Table Cards, Menus, etc so be sure to check back to see how they came out. Here is the Pocket invitation, although without the flap which is different, and a diamond embellishment on the belly band seal. Ombre was something she liked so we set the invitation apart with a nice fading gray one. We printed everything on a nice textured shimmer linen paper to add some texture from the sleek metallic white pocketfold. Take a look!
