TODDLER TUESDAY-A SOUTHERN-THEMED BABY SHOWER

What a fun non-traditional party theme for a baby shower?!?  Thank you Allison for giving me the opportunity to design this invite around your Southern BBQ fete.

T.G.I.I.F.- FOIL STAMPING

Yesterday I was at the printer doing a press check for a foil stamped invitation suite that I designed.  I am completely inspired to keep thinking outside the box and I love when the bride and groom are on the same page.  Stay tuned for pictures......I couldn't be more excited with the outcome.

T.G.I.I.F.- A CHINOISERIE INSPIRED WEDDING

I am super excited about this chinoiserie inspired wedding.  The letterpress invites that I am designing for this wedding are a perfect mix of asian flare with modern touches.  Stay tuned in September to see the finished product....

GIRAFFE BABY SHOWER INVITATION

I love everything ombre, so I did not hesitate to incorporate ombre into the design of this giraffe inspired baby shower invitation.

T.G.I.I.F.- INSPIRATION TO DESIGN

It was a great experience to work with a couple that wasn't afraid of color.  The outcome of this New England wedding was FABULOUS!  And Carla Ten Eyck (http://carlateneyck.com/) did an amazing job photographing everything.  I feel honored that I was able to work with yet another creative and fun couple.

Here is an overview from inspiration to design.

TODDLER TUESDAY- HAND-MADE BABY SHOWER INVITATION

I love when I am reminded why I decided to leave my former career in fashion.  Besides the obvious of being able to experience and share every first in my little toddler's life, I am able to do what I absolutely love, craft.  This baby shower invite I designed was a good mix of computer and crafting work.  I was able to break out the dusty ol' sewing machine and assemble an adorable invite inspired by the colors of the nursery and the nursery bedding.
