Children's Art

I grew up with a father who is an amazing artist and was exposed very early with drawing on his lap. I used to go to work with him and I clearly remember drawing with magic markers while he was in meetings and using the photocopier to create unique black and white images. So to this day, with my own children it's wonderful to see the art they create. So much that I want to save everything but am accumulating too many bins full of it. These are a couple that I framed and thought so simple, yet so creative. My philosophy with everything!


The Whole Package

Ashley and Keith's wedding was full of details! We did everything from her Save the Date, Rehearsal Dinner invitation, Wedding Invitation, Programs, Wine Labels, Menus, Table Numbers, and Place cards to Thank You. She wanted everything to match and left no detail untouched. For the Programs we used a unique wood grain paper for the front and back cover and a light green twine rather than ribbons (which she did NOT want in any of her stuff). And she saw some cute Table numbers and wanted to replicate them using their photos and the year from which they were taken as the table number itself. A great personal touch!

Baby Shower: Owl theme

Seasha is having her first baby and does not know if it's going to be a boy or a girl. She also LOVES owls and her sister wanted to reflect that in a simple, muted, elegant baby shower invitation. So we designed the invitation in natural colors and printed on a shimmery metallic linen texture paper. Matching envelopes and soap labels were also part of the set.

Rehearsal Dinner Invitation

Ashley asked us to create a rehearsal dinner invitation reflecting the look of her invitation suite we custom designed. She decided to have it at one of our favorite local restaurants, Matt's Red Rooster and we had to come up with something creative for it. As I cracked myself up thinking of rooster sayings, this is what I came up with. The invitation is printed on a white linen metallic paper, enclosed in chocolate brown envelopes and sealed with a custom wraparound address label.

Client Testimonials

It's always nice to hear back from clients, especially the newlyweds. We are so appreciative to get so many thank you cards and emails. I just wanted to share two that recently came in the mail. And they are both friends that referred each other which seems to be the best form of advertising!

Thank you so much for all the work you did for our wedding. Your work is amazing and flawless. I can't wait for everyone to see it all at our wedding this weekend. We will absolutely be contacting you again in the future for announcements, invitations, etc.

Cool in Copper

We promised you we'd show you the invitation to match the Pocket Sleeve Save the Date we blogged about earlier. Well, here it is, complete and delivered. Ashley was so indecisive at first but with a couple rounds of ideas and color choices, she was thrilled with the way they came out. We were too! We tried out a new shimmery linen paper stock to add some fanciness which really brought out the floral design. Layered with a chocolate brown card stock and using fall colors, this invitation really reflects the environment that the event is taking place in. Take a look and you'll see what we're talking about. We can't wait to do the Menus, Placecards and Programs to match but fitting in the woodgrain chocolate paper stock to add some more texture.
