Rock Around the Clock BABY SHOWER

I've heard of this style of invitation for a wedding shower (this style could easily be modified for a wedding too), but never a baby shower....how clever, and I think it turned out very cute!

This modern-day rock n roll style invitation can be customized to fit a color scheme appropriate for a boy or a girl. Standard pricing for a 5x7 invitation can be found on the right of the blog. I actually printed these on metallic white paper and used pink metallic envelopes. They turned out so cute!! (Add 10¢ per invitation for metallic cover stock and metallic envelopes are 17¢ each.)

All you have to do is send me the information for your shower, the color scheme you would like to use and the "times" needed. This hostess used "bath time, bed time, feeding time, changing time, and play time". Of course you are not limited to those. Just let me know how many you would like of each time.

Wouldn't this be a cute idea for a couples baby shower?... After the baby festivities are over, rock out to a little Band Hero or Rock Band on the Wii or PS3!

The design fee for this design is $2.50.

SHAWNNA Graduation Announcement Collage

This design is a feminine, school spirited way to include several favorite senior pictures and announce a graduation. This layout also looks great using black and white or sepia images. (I am happy to do the Photoshop work per your request.)

Designed as a 5x7, also available as a single or double sided 4x6.

MAGNOLIA Birthday Invitation

This is one of my favorite designs for celebrating a milestone birthday as a senior adult. I am happy to include the milestone age in the lower petal of the magnolia or can leave it off (as shown).

It is designed as a 5x7, but can also be formatted to be a 4x6.

GARRETT — Graduation, school colors

I'm privileged to design announcements for so many good looking guys this year!

This design uses school colors and I decreased the saturation of the colors in the image so it didn't clash so much with the red and black. It also looks very nice with a black and white or sepia image.

This is an 4.25 x 5.5 "postcard" with rounded corners. It fits nicely into an A2 envelope.

You obviously see 2 different back-side designs in the sample above. Mom wanted to tuck the announcement into some of the actual graduation invitations (from the school) so I worked it up so that some were simply inserts and the others are actually mailed as postcards. I order the cards in increments of 25, so just let me know if you have needs like this as well.

COLIN — Graduation Open House Postcard

I'm coming to the conclusion that mothers (or fathers) of son's like my graduation announcement style. :) Bring on the boys!

This is designed as a 4 x 6, but can be altered to fit any desired size.

It was a pleasure working with you on this project! Colin, best of luck in all of your future endeavors.

"CAROLINE" — Monogram Birth Announcement

I love the bold, bright colors of this design with the sweet, southern monogram. The background of the photograph is very interesting and adds a lot of texture, so I used the monogram as an "overlay" so it still stands out but doesn't detract too much from the precious baby girl or her name. The birth stats are nestled into negative space opposite the name to give balance to the design.

There were so many great images from her photo shoot that mom wanted to feature a few more on the back. Banding is an organized, concise way to use a variety of photos that don't necessarily "go" together in a seamless way. We added mom, dad and big brother to the back, too.

Thank you, Meredith, for allowing me to design these for your little angel.

Also available as a single sided option in a 4 x 6 or 4.25 x 5.5.

BATMAN Birthday Invitation

 I love classic superheros.

Look closely and you'll see the birthday boy's age is included on the iconic Batman logo.

This design can be ordered in many different sizes. A 5 x 7 is shown above with envelope options (blank white envelopes are included in base pricing) as well as an address sticker option available in either a 2" or 2.5" circle.

Flat or folded thank you cards are also available.

If you child is a bit older, I also have a really cool version of this invitation with a more humanized Batman and Joker...it just isn't so appropriate for kids under 10...a bit too "scary" or intense I think.

CODY — Grungy Graduation

I love the grungy, urban style that is popular with today's high school seniors.

This is a 4 x 6, double sided postcard with a high gloss front coating and matte finish on the back for easy addressing. This size and style allows for low cost printing (no expense of an envelope) and lower cost postage (postcard stamp instead of a first class stamp). Of course this style could be applied to different sizes as well.

FLEUR DE LIS & Monogram — Shower invitation

I designed this invitation for a bridal shower, but I also think it would be very cute as a baby shower invitation (so I am labeling it for both). It uses a seamless fleur de lis pattern in the background and behind the monogram centered at the top. The soft script and pastel colors make this design very feminine, but it is easily customizable to match whatever color scheme you have in mind for your event.

Additional, matching "extras" are available upon request.

Tough Mudder T-shirt: SILVERBACK ATTACK

My husband is competing in his first Tough Mudder event this Saturday. I know a couple of the other guys on the team as well and they asked me to design a t-shirt for their team.

I found the Silverback gorilla image on the internet and did quite a bit of Photoshop work to make it one color and still graphic. The t-shirts will be screen printed, so the fewer the colors, the cheaper the shirt.

I'm excited to see how they turn out and hope these crazy guys have fun during their 12 mile, muddy, crazy obstacle course.

WHITE-WASHED Wedding Colors Shower Invitation

My client requested a customized bridal shower invitation using the wedding colors of red, turquoise, and brown. Without going over-the-top western, she also wanted a rustic flare to highlight the couples interest in the rodeo.

I'm pleased with the contrast of modern and rustic and love the white-washed wood paneling used as a background texture.

This design is easy to customize for any wedding colors and I even think it could be easily converted into a very interesting wedding invitation suite.

This set is designed as a 5x7, but can also accommodate a 4x6 size as long as it is not too text heavy.

Thank you card sets and stickers are also available.

GERBER DAISY Bridal Shower Invitation

I'm very pleased with how these pink and green gerber daisy invitations turned out. The hostess wanted to incorporate the recipe card without making it a complete "recipe" shower. The bridal colors are magenta and green, so with the power of Photoshop, I made the Gerber daisy coordinate exactly.

To use this design with the recipe card, it must be a 5x7. However, if you would like an altered design, without the card, just let me know what size you had in mind and I can modify the design. It should also be possible to modify the color scheme. Just let me know.

And here are thank you card options (flat and fold-over) as well as a couple of address sticker designs that are available in 2" or 2.5" format.

MAP Change of Address card

This card is designed as a 5x7 but is also available as a 4x6. The map is created using an internet directions program. Just send me your old and new address and I'll do the rest.

You may include additional images and an update on the backside or just stick with the front as a single-sided option.

Wording on the front is flexible as long as it is brief and works within your specific design.

Patterned Lingerie Shower Invitation

I'm really excited about how this design turned out. I have quite a few bachelorette options now, but I was lacking in the "lingerie" shower theme.

I just added this design to my NealonDesign Etsy store! Please click HERE for a direct link to the listing.

IVORY & LACE Wedding Invitation Suite

 I am so pleased with how this invitation suite turned out.

The original concept was derived from the Save-the-Date postcards that I designed for them several months ago. We kept the design clean and classic using the periwinkle blue color and ivory lace on a natural 5x7 coverstock with .25" rounded corners. The text is printed in a medium gray.

The response card is a 3.5" flat card fitting snugly into a natural A1 envelope with the address printed on the front.

The inner envelope is embellished with a logo of a L & T that was combined using their wedding font in blue. The traditional outer envelope includes a cleanly printed return address.

I absolutely love the soft detail of the lace and look forward to working on the supplemental pieces as the wedding gets closer.

This design would look beautiful using a variety of wedding colors. Let me know if I can help make your invitations super special.
