SAM — Traditional GRADUATION Announcement

This style of graduation announcement is a great way to highlight various aspects of a senior's personality. It is a 5 x 7 single sided card with a high gloss finish to make the colors really stand out.

The style of script can also be changed to fit the personality or overall feel of the card. There is also plenty of room to include additional information about the graduate.

BACHELORETTE Beach Weekend (Silhouette)

It is almost wedding season, so I've had several request for the beach bachelorette party invitations that I designed last year. This single sided design is a bit more economical and uses the same silhouette concept and large block of lettering as the previous, double sided version. There are many many ways to customize! Let me know how you'd like to tweak it or tell me your vision for an entirely new design.

"MAYA" — Lavender Baby Girl Birth Announcement

"MAYA"
Isn't she a doll?! I only wish you could see her full head of dark brown hair! I just ordered all of these announcements yesterday and I can't wait for them to come in.

I actually used a little Photoshop magic to turn what was a pink hat, purple. :) Her room is decorated in a subtle lavender and gray and I spoke with her mom and dad about the announcements even before the photo shoot took place. Kaity did a great job with the pictures and mom and dad purchased the rights to these two shots, allowing me to use them on this card.

The back of the card is a full 5 x 7, frame-ready, photo for all of those receiving the news of this beautiful little bundle.

Welcome to the world, Maya!

Bird on Branch BABY SHOWER Invitation

Something about spring time means lots of babies are on the way, thus lots of baby showers!

I'm really pleased with these baby blue and royal invitations. There are subtle, dashed diamonds in the background and a silhouetted bird as a symbol of new life. The whimsical script is the perfect choice to highlight the mother's name and registry information.

The color scheme of this design can be customized to be the perfect complement to the shower you are planning. Email me for a quote.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse BIRTHDAY Invitations

Is your little one a big fan of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse? If you are planning a party around that theme, check out these invitation options. There are 4 single sided 5 x 7 options available and I am happy to customize with your little one's name, party information and age. The sets come with white envelopes, but you can also upgrade to any color. You can find recommended color options in the thank you card options image.Perhaps you have a little girl that is having a Disney birthday and you want something just a little more feminine with all the characters. Or maybe your little one doesn't have an "o" or and "i" in his/her name.. I can add polka dots and/or ears to any name or number. This is just one way that I can really customize the invitation to fit your needs exactly. Just tell me what you have in mind.
 Due to the popularity of this design, I've decided to offer it in a more economical 4x6 size in addition to the 5x7. Any of the designs can be ordered in either size, so please specify.  I'm also testing out providing pricing on the blog. We'll see how it goes. Please click on the image to enlarge. Please note that if your design requires significant additional work, I will notify you of an increased design fee.

Below are options for thank you cards. There is a fold-over option and 3 flat card choices. I can also convert one of the flat card designs into a fill-in thank you. Thank you card sets come with colored envelopes, so the color choices are on the right. (I can also switch out the Mickey for a Minnie!) Seal your thank you cards with coordinating address stickers. There are 12 stickers per sheet and each sheet is $3.50. (Girly options that match the invitations are also available.)When ordering by email, please include the design you prefer, quantity and, the party information you want included on the invitation. Once I have received payment (PayPal or check), it typically takes me 1-2 days to get you a proof of your complete invitation set. Shipping via the USPS will take place within 2 days of approval.

Here is another more classic option. This one features Minnie, but it is easy to adjust for Mickey, too...also available in pink and white!
