NEW ORLEANS . bachelorette weekend invitation

I've been wanting to add a few bachelorette invitations to my portfolio (New Orleans and Las Vegas specific designs) and I just completed the New Orleans design today!

I wanted to make it very specific to New Orleans, which is full of iconic imagery but I also wanted the invitation to be classy and organized....with plenty of "fun" for a bachelorette! I used the classic purple and green color scheme and chose to play up the amazing iron work of New Orleans. The background has an amazing sketch showing the beautiful architecture, a little bit of foliage, a street lamp, and a horse and buggy.

I love the detail and the simplicity at the same time.

I didn't want to crowd up the front, so I added space for a full itinerary as well as contact information and sizing (if it is a lingerie event) on the back!

WATERCOLOR PAISLEY . baby shower invitation

I just added this precious invitation to my Etsy store! www.etsy.com/shop/NealonDesign

This WATERCOLOR PAISLEY . baby shower invitation design is clean & organized and uses a background pattern from the popular "watercolor paisley" fabric used in the nursery. I love how it turned out and hope the mother-to-be loves it as well! The optional "books for the baby" insert is also available in my Etsy store.

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.
