Children's Specialized Hospital

We have been very busy creating numerous brochures, trifolds, invitations, newsletters, corporate identities, posters, etc. for The Children's Specialized Hospitals and their many locations. They are the largest and most preeminent pediatric rehabilitation hospital in the United States. They treat children and adolescents from birth to 21 years of age. Here are some samples among the many that we've designed.



Menu Design

Bruno Pascale, a well-known chef, has been keeping me busy with his three restaurants he owns. I "branded" The Mad Chef in Flemington, NJ for him and he loved the menu design and format so much that he had me use the same idea of his other restaurant Marley's in Hackettstown, NJ. Here is the final product.

Babies Galore

A good friend of mine, Maggie, is due to have her first baby around the same time I'm due for my third! Her shower was wonderful and I included these personalized baby notecards in her gift basket. She was so touched and I knew she'd appreciate it.

It's a Glamour Ball Party

We designed Kristin's 6th birthday party invitations last year as a December Nutcracker theme which are proudly shown on this blog. Her mom has come to us yet again to create invites and favor tags for her 7th Birthday "Glamour Ball" this year. We layered white shimmery paper with pink and included splashes of purple with a Swarovski crystal add-on at the top. The circular favor tags complement the invite and will get attached to mini purses that have the girl's makeup for the party. These girls are going to get made up and enjoy doing the things that girls do!

Children's Art

It still ceases to amaze me how children learn how to draw things, everyday things without any instruction and only through their imagination. I had a busy little bee today making art on paper, on the chalkboard, on the floor.... here is my daughter Madisen's interpretation of balloons and water balloons. Not too bad for a 3 year old!

Fun & Whimsical Wedding

Alison's wedding is going to be so much fun! She's having a "country fair" sort of theme. Bright colors such as turquoise and pinks with the possibility of a photo booth, balloons as table assignments for guests, popcorn and cotton candy, and jugs of lemonade.  She sent us some photos for inspiration which led to these super cute Save the Dates. A Pocketfold invitation set was also included to match and she loved it. I can't wait to get started on those. But for now these self-mailing Pouchettes will be sent out tomorrow to California fully assembled so all Ali's mom has to do is hand address the mailing panel.

We Love Rounded Corners

We designed Gina's baby shower invitation on a nice thick cardstock with rounded corners to match the style of the envelope. We always keep the envelope in mind as part of the design, not just what the invitation is delivered in. These style of envelopes are my favorite and in a mustard yellow color (I'm sure something pops in your mind) will certainly stand out in the mail!
