Happy Birthday Finn!!!

One of these days I'm going to have an organized order to the way I do my blog posts!  For now, I'll continue doing them when I have a few minutes to sit down & remember, oh yeah!  I haven't put that one on the blog yet! 

A few months ago I had the honor of designing birthday invitations for one of the most stylish, cool little dudes I know, Finn who turned one back in February.  Mr. Finn comes by his dapper style quite honestly from his mama, CoCo, who is a good friend of mine.  CoCo is also a mighty talented lady with a budding photography business.  Check her out at www.cococollierphotography.com and just remember you heard it here first folks, one day this gal's gonna be famous :)

I was quite pleased with the way Finn's invitations turned out for his "Happy Monster" first birthday party!

Announcing baby Jack!

I felt especially honored & privileged to design this handsome little fella's birth announcements.  Sweet baby Jack is the son of my wonderful friend and business partner, Karen and her husband, Joe.  I cannot get enough of this darling little face, he is so incredibly precious!  LOVE how Jack's announcements turned out--and Karen had them printed with a beautiful pearl finish that was just perfect!

I love big brother Luke's expression too--SO proud of his little brother!

A bit late, but Christmas designs nonetheless :)

Okay, so I started this post in February which was indeed late, but then due to some tech issues, it was delayed even further...so yes, it is now MARCH & I'm just now posting my favorite designs from this past Christmas :P  

I was once again privileged this past year to partner with my dear friend Karen of Karen Baker Photography for Christmas Mini Sessions. The long and the short of it is that I take her beautiful photography work & create custom Christmas cards for our clients. This partnership has been in the works for 3 years now & I pray God's plan is for it to continue for many more to come. I don't have words to describe what a blessing & joy it is to work with Karen & I am so thankful for her, for our friendship & for our partnership. So without further ado, here are some of my favorite designs from this past Christmas...

The first several are traditional 5x7 flat double sided cards

 (I've only included the fronts of the cards for the most part, otherwise this would make a long post even loooooonger!)

I had to include the back of the Baker's card too, 

their card was in my top favorites this year!

Sweet baby boy

Here is a birth announcement I did for a family a little while back announcing the birth of their second born son.  I had a sweet chat with this new mama of two about the joys of raising brothers so working with her was a little extra special knowing we share in that blessing.  This little cutie pie was so fun to design an announcement for--oh that perfect little face, be still my heart--and his knit hat is just too presh!

Monster Trucks & Ladybugs



Recently I the opportunity to design birthday invitations for two of my very favorite kiddos {that I didn't birth myself} They were for the son & daughter of one of my dearest & longtime friends, Sara.  Jack's & Marley's birthdays are 2 days apart...well, 2 years and 2 days apart that is ;) so Sara & her husband, Richard, held a joint birthday party for them.  The party turned out too cute for words with Jack's monster trucks & Marley's lady bugs!  Since the 5x7 photo cards that I design are double sided, Sara had the brilliant idea to do Jack's invitation on one side & Marley's on the other...yep, she's a smart one that girl!  Here are the invitations I came up with to go along with their Monster Trucks & Ladybugs party...

Cupcakes, Cocktails & 2 Cuties :)

I cannot even BELIEVE I never posted these! I was just looking back through some work and realized that somehow I let these slip through the cracks. Here are some invitations I did (almost a year ago!) for the 1st birthday party of two adorable little twin boys. I have done several custom card designs for this family and each time working with them has been an absolute joy...I mean how could it not, would you just take a look at these cuties?!

Precious in Pink

Goodness, I've been meaning to post these for some time now, but I'm a bit behind!  I did these birth announcements for this absolutely precious little baby girl a little while back & I am so pleased with the way they turned out.  The subject definitely helped make these announcements turn out well--she is too adorable for words :)

Save the Dates!

I recently designed some Save-the-Dates for a gorgeous couple getting married this coming fall.  As an added bonus these two lovebirds are the brother-in-law & future sis-in-law of my sweet friend & business partner Karen Baker of
Karen Baker Photography
so it was extra exciting & fun for me to work with them.  I love the vibrant, beautiful colors this bride is using &
I think these Save-the-Dates turned out beautifully :)
