"WYATT" — Birth Announcement

I've been waiting a long time to add this birth announcement to the blog because I didn't want to ruin the surprise for any of the recipients, but I absolutely love how it turned out.

The kraft envelopes are a beautiful addition and go wonderfully with the fabric little Wyatt is wrapped in on the front of the card. It has a "satin" finish with rounded corners and I couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out.

Congratulations to this beautiful new family!

Me.

I'm a mom, a wife, and a designer...and lots of other "titles" too. In 2004 I got my first design job in the book publishing industry. I began in marketing and transitioned to book cover designs. In 2006, I started my freelancing career which has allowed me to work continuously despite many moves and adding a wonderful baby boy to our family in 2008 and 2012.

In the past couple of years, I've branched out a bit to design customized stationery for friends and family. I love to create personalized pieces that make people smile, whether it is a party invitation, Christmas card, announcement or simple notecard.

In the spring of 2015 I was asked to create a collection of prints to be sold in my friend's children's boutique. This sparked my interest in gold foil as well as vinyl personalization and my office that once mainly held paper and envelopes has become the crafter's dream with all sorts of new toys to work with. This new adventure has been a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for me and my little business.
