sleek sophistication

A few months ago, I was contacted by Leah to create custom wedding invitations for her big day. Needless to say, I was more than overjoyed because I knew she would want something simple and sleek. The colors of her wedding were ivory and black and this fits her style to perfection. I was not surprised by the color selection because Leah is a quiet gal; nothing "loud" about her.




Many thanks to Leah and Eric. Wishing you many years of happiness together!

simple yet elegant

Late last summer I had the wonderful opportunity to create an invitation for two of my good friends, Randy and Jenn. They had decided to have a simple outdoor country wedding. These two are the most laid back couple I know and their wedding was a perfect representation of their style and personalities. Their wedding day could not have been any more special. Although it could have been about 20 degrees cooler!


Thank you Randy and Jennifer. Here's to many years of marital bliss!

happiness - joy - peace

This card was extra special to design for me. This specific design was custom made for my parents who were my very first greeting card clients. Although they are more traditional holiday card senders, I was able to talk them into a non-traditional color scheme consisting of plum and green!



Thanks mom and dad!

H3 - Ho! Ho! Ho!

I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to design cards that really fit my style. The use of typography is different than any other card in the collection and the colors are super fun. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!




A special thanks to Sarah and Brandon for the creative freedom!

String of Lights

These cards were designed for one of the spunkiest people I know. I was more than delighted to design a special card for this gal. I knew she would be happy with anything that was presented to her but I thought something a little less traditional would fit her style perfectly. If you know Sarah I, you know exactly what I'm talking about ;)

Merry Wishes

This is the first of many posts from the 2009 Holiday Card Collection. The abstract hot pink and green wreath was an element designed for our non-traditional holiday friends.

Merry Wishes!

Inspiration - Vintage

I have a folder on my desktop where I keep images of things that inspire me - colors, antiques, decorations, weddings, fashion, etc. I thought maybe I would try creating some inspiration boards to share with you. I have compiled a group of vintage pieces that I absolutely love. It amazes me how far we've come in the world of technology. I have a great appreciation for people who created any piece of clothing with a sewing machine that you had to crank or an accountant who used an adding machine (like the one below) before there were calculators. I sometimes forget how easy we have it!
