wedding invitation | melissa + tj

I couldn't be happier with the clients I have been blessed with and Melissa was no exception. I really do feel like I have the best job in the whole entire world and it's people like Melissa that make my job such a joy. Melissa had a June wedding and here color palette couldn't have been more fun for a summer celebration! She chose a simple monogram design with a black satin ribbon to add that final touch. The programs were a double sided, tall and skinny design with the same black satin ribbon used in the invitations. Very simple but I think it matched the stationary perfectly!

Thank you, Melissa and TJ, for being so great to work with. I can only wish you both the best in the many years to come. I hope you're enjoying Florida!

wedding invitation | emily + son

Emily and I have been friends for well over 20 years now and I was so happy for her when she told me she was getting married. She is such a kind, gentle and caring woman and her husband, Son, is the perfect match for her. I truly believe these two are a match made in heaven.

Emily is such a gorgeous and elegant woman both inside and out. I wanted to design something that stayed true to who she is. Something subtle and classy but not boring. I chose an apple green pocket that was embellished with an ivory satin ribbon.

The program consisted of four layers and was attached with the same ivory satin ribbon used in the invitation design.



I wish you both all the happiness in the world. I'm so happy that you two have found each other. Your love for each other is very evident. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day.

wedding invitation | courtney + briggs

It's hard to believe that Briggs and Courtney are married! I have known both of them for many years and I have had the privilege of watching them mature into amazing people. I was truly honored when Courtney had asked me to design stationary for their big day. I had never designed a wedding invitation with the color palette of bright orange and Tiffany blue but I was up for the challenge. I think that these colors are fitting for both of their personalities: fun, playful, and young.

I wish them all of the happiness in the world. Although I'm not really sure when they will find time for each other with both of their busy schedules! Courtney is working on her Masters' program and Briggs is still working on his undergrad while playing football for Ball State. Congrats to you both and thank you for the wonderful opportunity to be a part of one of the most important days of your lives.

wedding invitation | pretty in pink

I'm always so amazed at the creative freedom my brides allow me to have with their wedding invitations. I was ecstatic when I learned that Jesika's wedding colors were watermelon pink and black. I love how the pink pops on the crisp white paper and how the satin ribbon embellishes the black metallic folders.

This design was like no other design I had created before; truly a "one of a kind." I love it when people step a bit out of their comfort zone and just go for something unique. Enjoy a few images of Jesika and Eddie's wedding invitations and rsvp postcards.

branding | love always, anne marie

Branding for small businesses has always been exciting for me. I love watching a company grow and expand. Over the past year and a half I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with many different small business owners. Together we have designed a brand that fits their unique products/services.

My most recent client, Annie Metzger, decided to create a business called Love Always, Anne Marie. This small business started as a college advertising project by a young group of gals who had a passion for helping others find a way to express their individuality through fashion accessories. Love Always, Anne Marie is dedicated to bringing you a wide variety of bridal, prom, and special occasion hair accessories at an affordable price. Check out the Love Always, Anne Marie Facebook page for some ideas on how to accessorize your next special occasion.

Displayed below are the price tags that were created to help brand this up and coming small business.

ms. lola mae | invitation

It's a fairly common practice to throw an expecting mother a baby shower. Although the term "baby shower," is a fairly new phrase, the actual practice of celebrating birth goes back to ancient times and has evolved over the years. Traditionally, a baby shower consists of a group of women getting together on a Sunday afternoon to eat hors d'oeuvres, play some games and watch the expecting mother open gifts.

As time goes on, baby showers have become much more sophisticated than in days past. Present-day baby showers have taken on a much bigger and extravagant role in the upcoming birth of baby. It's not uncommon to have the expecting father make a surprise appearance or for there to be a couple's shower. There will more than likely be a theme for the celebration with a color scheme that matches the new nursery. Often times, the expecting parent's will have an ultra sound to determine the sex of the unborn child. It's uncommon to see gifts in yellow and green; traditionally these colors were used when the sex of the child was unknown.

Luckily, I just so happen to be on the creative side of events such as these. I have had the opportunity to create some fun invitations for, what used to be, very traditional events. I think it's wonderful how the traditional baby shower has evolved over time. Below is a baby shower invitation that I created for the shower honoring Ms. Lola Mae. The colors were orange and pink and the theme was a bit on the vintage side. The invitation was embellished with an off-white lace.

branding | twysted yarn

Twysted Yarn was founded by Morgan Zoeller in December 2009 when she found out she was expecting a little girl. After posting a few pictures on Facebook, she received 30 orders within a week and decided to make a business of it. Morgan then contacted me to brand her booming business. I designed a logo and some business cards for handmade items. Morgan was such a joy to work with and very easy going. I appreciated her openness to explore some "not so traditional" ideas.

Over the past six months I have watched twysted yarn flourish. New items are being posted every week with many custom orders being fulfilled. Morgan also has an etsy shop where she sells her handmade goods to patrons all over the country. I have absolutely no idea where she finds time to crochet with two children under the age of 2. She must be a superwoman or have really good time management skills! I admire her determination to be a wonderful mother and wife all while being a successful business woman.


Congratulations, Morgan! I wish you continued success and growth.
