A Fabulous Couple

I had the pleasure of photographing this fabulous couple last year for their holiday card and they asked me to help out once again this year. We had a lot of fun walking around our little downtown area and were able to get quite a few great pictures.

This is still definitely a "just for fun" aspect of my little business, but let me know if you are local and would like me to snap a few pictures of you and your family. :)

Birthday CUPCAKE

Cupcakes are big at little kid birthdays. Cute. Easy. No cutting. Portion control. :)

This invitation was designed for a first birthday, but I think it would also be cute for a bigger kid as well....just send me the wording you'd like to use. Both a boy and girl version is shown above.

Colors are completely customizable.

Roses 70th BIRTHDAY

 I design invitations for many children's parties, but I think adults should get the same special treatment....especially older adults hitting milestone birthdays!

I love roses and I love line art. The color of the roses in this design are completely customizable. There are also 3 paper color choices: white, natural, and a fancy "metallic white". Use the same colored envelope or pull out an accent color like the gumdrop green in the sample above.

I really want to expand my selection of adult birthday invitations, so let me know if you need to plan something special and what you have in mind. I would love to create something custom just for you!

Bridal Brunch — Wedding SHOWER

Bridal Brunch (Monogram) — Wedding Shower

I've been doing a lot of "cute" stuff recently, so this "fancy" invitation was a fun departure.

I'm sure there are casual brunches all over the place, but when I think of a "bridal brunch" shower I am reminded of fancy serving pieces, little tea cakes, finger sandwiches and ladies in pretty dresses drinking delicately out of tea cups. :) I may be way off, but that is what I think of when I hear "bridal brunch".

Using the brides wedding colors of silver and blue, I came up with several designs with a little bit of glam. This was the design chosen. To make it even a little bit more special, the invitations are printed on a 110 lb. metallic white coverstock with a coordinating, designed metallic envelope.

This invitation is easily customizable to fit your color scheme and is sure to make any bride feel special.

Bridal Brunch (Teapot) — Wedding Shower

I don't usually post images of designs that were not chosen. However, I just love this one and hope that you do, too. There is a subtle toile pattern in the background and a vintage, antique, teapot at the top...perfect for a morning brunch. I also think that this invitation could be manipulated for a generic brunch invitation.

Of course I altered the colors (from the original blue/silver) and I can change them to whatever you wish to fit your needs.

If you would like to order either of these invitations, email me and specify which design you prefer: Teapot or Monogram.

Thanks!

"GIA" — Subtle Zebra Birth Announcement

"GIA"

Double-sided 5x7. Also available in a 4x6 or 4.25x5.5.

I designed this custom invitation for good friends.  She provided a variety of photos and the instructions of "purple and green". I took it from there. I gave her several designs to choose from and she gravitated to the zebra print. With a few modifications, this is the end result. :)

I am happy to customize this design just for you or come up with something unique and special just for your little one. :) Email me for more information!

Pink Tink - Fairy Birthday

3.5 x 8.5 with a white #9 envelope.

Little girls love princesses, fairies, and PINK.

I altered Tinkerbell's traditional coloring to go with this pink design with fun fonts and patterns your little girl is sure to love. The number of balloons can change based on your child's age. The fun patterns open many doors for fun party decorating! I can also make "Tink's" hair brown, if your little girl is a brunette.

Divas & Dudes BIRTHDAY

A cute idea for a young boy/girl party.

The "divas" arrive early to get all dolled up and then the "dudes" come a bit later for a lot of fun!

The client specifically requested using pink and black as well as a zebra print. I think it turned out very cute and we tied in the guys with a silhouette and a punch of electric blue.

These are an economical 4x6 size with matching pink envelopes.

Email me for customization options or to order!

Peek-a-Boo Paintings BUSINESS CARDS

My extremely talented friend asked me to update her logo and design some business cards for her prosperous custom painting business.

She has a love for, and uses a lot of polka dots in her designs. It was only fitting to incorporate this pattern into her new design. I also used youthful fonts because the majority of her work is for young children.

Please check out her work on etsy and order today! You'll see the etsy banner I designed for her when you click on the link to her site!

Classic Minnie Mouse BIRTHDAY

I watch quite a bit of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (with my 3 year old little boy). It should be no surprise that these classic characters inspire birthday parties for many little ones. I love patterns, bold colors and kid-friendly fonts, so I'm very pleased with how these turned out.

These classic, red & black, Minnie Mouse invitations are 4 x 6, double sided, flat card sets. They are available on a heavy matte coverstock, semi-gloss/satin finish, or high gloss. (Allow additional time for the satin or gloss options.)

I think it is a fabulous idea to include a full size, frameable photo on the back of the invitation.  The 4 x 6 size (also available as a 5x7) is perfect for this option and is a true treasure and keepsake for family and friends even before the party begins!

This design can be customized by color changes, various ages and even a vertical option (if you want to match the orientation of your photo). It is also available as a single sided flat card set with only one side of printing.

Another Minnie design.
