brittany + john you're invited!

I loved working with these bright, fun summer colors and can't wait to see pictures from the wedding!

Brittany + John chose to go with a portable pocket style invitation with a response card and envelope and map card enclosures. They also opted to have us address, assemble, stamp, and mail these! The complete package for a busy couple.

We're going to start on their place cards, programs, and other accessories soon - so watch for future posts!

elegant destination wedding

This was such a beautiful job to work on! I love the colors and the paisley - and they got married in one of my favorite places in Michigan - Sutton's Bay!

We did coordinating programs, place cards, and thank you notes too.

more fun summer colors

This was one of the weddings I worked on over the summer. What a fun color pallet!

There are so many ways to take this design and make it your own.

ENVELOPMENTS

AMB Paperworks now has it's own Envelopments website! Follow this link to check it out. This is my main paper supplier. They have great quality products, they can do all kinds of customizations (cutting, drilling, scoring, etc...), and some beautiful color and pattern options.

AMB also has websites with Carlson Craft and Birchcraft. These vendors sell all kinds of semi-customizable invitations, cards, stationery, and imprintable accessory items.

Hopping in to spring...

This isn't the kind of invitation that I usually do (you don't see too many frog themed weddings), but I had a great time coming up with it. It's a frog invitation for my daughters end of the year preschool program. Her teacher asked me to come up with something fun for the the preschoolers to help make, and for Holly to hand deliver to the school board at their next meeting.

Brunch anyone?

This gorgeous invitation was used to invite people to an office brunch. Its versatile style could be used for a wedding or baby shower, a retirement party, graduation announcement - it's so flexible!

This sample used the following envelopments papers:
gate fold card in navaho, cardstocks in white micha kitsch, black linen, and white micha, a black satin ribbon tie closure, and a white micha envelope.

Ring in 2008 with a little Bling!

I was recently contacted by a friend of mine to design some invitation postcards for her Premier Designs Jewelry business. I had a lot of fun with these and am really happy with how they turned out! Also.. if you're looking for some jewelry or want to host a party, give her a call!

Winter Wedding Goes Hawaiian

Here's a wedding invitation ensemble I just worked on for a wedding coming up in February. She wanted something red and white and fun, but not a Valentine's theme. She decided to have a 'luau reception' complete with people changing into Hawaiian shirts before coming to the reception, so decided to design invitations that played on that idea. I used a single red hibiscus flower to make the invitations classy yet coordinated, and pulled that thru the rest of the items.

Baby Girl Stuff

I'm probably going a little overboard with posting on this new blog - but I have one last thing I'd like to share for now - well an ensemble of things, actually. Addison's stationary: Birth Announcements, Baptism Invitations, and Thank You Notes. I couldn't resist using the ultra-popular chocolate brown and baby pink color combination.
