Hello Fall!!!!

The leaves are officially changing and the crisp air is in full effect!!! My FAVORITE time of year is here.. and has been for a few weeks now! Yep, I Love Fall!!!

I am super excited to share a few fun designs with you all today, especially because I rarely get the chance to design something JUST for Halloween!!! But today is that day! Recently I have been working with a local Church helping with some fun designs, posters, flyers, logos etc. And one of these fun projects was a community wide Trunk-or-Treat at the park. The poster turned out so fun and colorful, I just love it!!! Here's to a good night of Fall Family Fun!!!!

ENJOY!!

Summertime Fun!!!

I LOVE Summer and all that it brings with it. Swimming, sun, outdoors, hiking, bbq's, and my all time favorite CAMP!!!

There is something truly amazing about living in the Rocky Mountains that can be lost and taken for granted in the midst of every day life. We have such grander and awe inspiring majesty just waiting outside our door. I recently worked on a few fun summer themed projects for CMC that gave me the opportunity to really display the colorful beauty of a Colorado Summer!!! I love how these turned out and I am excited to hear about all the fun adventures these students had with their summer learning experiences!!

ENJOY!!!

Hello and Happy Sunny Summer Tuesday!!!!

One of the best parts of my job is getting to work Small Business to Small Business!!! I have met so many awesome small business entrepreneurs in this line of work and I LOVE being able to help them out in their ventures. One of these amazing entrepreneurs is my dear friend Rachael who owns Spirit Love, a Mobile Fashion Boutique. I have been constantly inspired and encouraged by her passion for what she does and her drive to keep growing and following her business dreams and goals.

I was recently asked to help design some new marketing postcards for her to hand out at shows and parties and I LOVE how they turned out!!! If you ever need fashion/shopping advice or are in the market for some super cute unique clothing items Rachael is your girl!!!!

ENJOY!!!

Get Closer...

Hello and Happy Tuesday!!!

Woo Hoo! The rain has come and gone and the spring birds are singing joyfully in the trees! Today I thought I would share a fun little design I did recently for a local sermon series at Family In Christ Church. I love getting to work alongside ministries like these!!! What a blessing to be able to use the gifts I have been given to help bless others.

ENJOY!

Everything's so Green!!

Hello and Happy Earth Day!!!

We just got back from a wonderful field trip exploring nature and the beauties of creation with my girls where we got to get dirty and enjoy this wonderful world we are blessed to live in. Hope you all are taking time to enjoy the beauty outside today!!!

As you all may well know I LOVE the color green!!! And since Earth Day has a lot to do with green things I thought I would share a few fun "Green" projects I have been working on recently with CMC. It is awesome to see a college and community committed to keeping this wonderful world we live in a beautiful place for generations to come.

ENJOY!

Happy Spring!!!

The first Tuesday of Spring is here!! I love the change of the seasons... and apparently so does my daughter. She has been running around wishing everyone "Happy Spring" since Friday as if it was some kind of national holiday! Love it!!!

So to kick off this wonderful time of the year as we celebrate the Newness of Life in all the little flowers and buds around us, I wanted to share a fun New business I have had the opportunity to work with recently.

My talented Brother-in-Law, Jon Downing, has recently started up a new lawn care business called Northern Landscaping Services and asked if I would help them design a logo and some marketing materials as they kick off this new adventure. I love the ideas he had for a fun, fresh, 'clean-cut', look for their Logo and coordinating flyer and I was honored to be a part of this start up process. I am super excited for this new small business and I can't wait to watch the clients just come rolling in!

ENJOY and Happy Spring!

By a Nurse, for a Nurse...

Happy Tuesday!!!

Just wanted to stop in and share with you one of the fun new designs we have been working on recently.

Often I find myself getting to work on custom cards, or logos, or flyers for various events and marketing needs. BUT it is a rare thing to get to work on package design, well at least for me it is. I love the new challenge it brings to come up with the perfect size and placement for whatever the product may be.

I recently had the opportunity to partner with a wonderful nurse at Nurse Born Products who had designed an awesome new product. I loved her idea and it was super fun getting to come up with a creative way to help her display and sell her idea.

Small business to small business, this is why I do what I do!!!

ENJOY!

A Family That Travels Together....

A Family that Travels Together...
                                          ..... Stays Together!

Ok so this might not be an actual saying, but I think it should. I LOVE traveling and I hope to pass that love of culture and adventure and excitement in my daughters. Which is why I was super excited to be able to design a little Logo/Blog Header and Photo Watermark for a friend of mine who will be documenting their family travels and adventures together on her new blog A Funky Family Travels.

I can not wait to see where the wind will take this cute little family and I am so excited for the amazing memories their daughter will be able to cherish forever!

ENJOY!

Something New!!!

Something Old. Something New. Something Borrowed. Something Yellow!?!?!?!?!

Yes, that is right, did you notice? We have a new look! Many of you who know me personally know that I have a deep love of the color green. Which has been a part of my logo for a long time. BUT after 10, yes TEN, years this summer that I have been in business here at tÜsdé productions I thought it was high time I updated my look a bit.

Something Old:
Yes, my something old is the name of course. I may be changing my look but I am not changing my name. So here is a little history of my company name for my something Old. I LOVE to dance, and when I was first learning to dance the best night was Tuesday!! Then a few years later I was living and working in Germany and my day off was Tuesday. See a trend?? Tuesday quickly became one of my favorite days and when I was in design school this word served as the template for many a class project. The Ü and the é of course are throwbacks to the various languages I encountered during my two years spent in Europe.

Something New:
A new look is not complete without a new font group. Yes it is true I am a font nerd!!! I wanted a clean simple look for my business update and these fonts did the trick. Simple. Elegant. FUN!

Something Borrowed:
Ok, so not really borrowed but more of an image that holds many good memories in my life. This would be the little bird in my logo. I love birds, grew up with two little parakeets when I was a child and have always liked the image that the Lord takes care of the birds of the air, so how much more will He take care of me? It is an image of comfort and strength for me. This bird version is similar to the previous but with a little clean up and simplification.

Something YELLOW!
Ok, we are finally getting down to the root of the new look here. Yellow, and grey, and fun zig-zags.. oh my! As I was contemplating this new design look I thought back to the first few times I knew I wanted to be an artist. I have many fond memories of when I was a small child taking art classes at our local community center or with a dear artist friends of ours. The one project that stands out in my mind is a little yellow house I did with oil pastels. It was framed and hung up in a small art gallery for a while and as a child of 5 or 6 I thought this was SO AMAZING!! Yellow was my favorite color as a kid and it is with this new look that I am making a little nod back to where it all began. Plus it is a super fun, crisp, fresh, happy color!!!

So there you go. It has been an amazing 10 years with my little business. I am grateful for all the wonderful clients and friends I have made along the way and I can not wait to see what the next 10+ years will bring!!

ENJOY!!

Christmas Showcase #17 - Delightful Designs...

Happy Tuesday to all my lovely readers!!! I am so excited to share our shop small showcase with you today. As I have mentioned before I love the local small businesses I get to work with and I really enjoy seeing such talented people taking their creative dreams to new levels.

One such business is Dawna's Design Threads. This wonderful lady has taken her passion for sewing and her eye for art and design and created a business out of her quilting patterns. LOVE her work, and I am honored to have been asked yet again to help her with some marketing design projects.

Dawna's Design Threads is growing and they are in the process of updating their new website. I don't get to work on web design very often so I was excited to have this opportunity to try my hand at something new. Here is a quick little preview of some of the fun designs we have been working on recently.

ENJOY!

Christmas Showcase #16 - Children Matter

Hello and Happy Monday!!! I thought I would kick start this week of Shop Small Showcases with a look at a few of my favorite local small businesses.

Over the past year I have been honored to be able to work with an amazing team of women over at Children Matter. A local speech, language and occupational therapy center. Their business is growing and expanding and they recently opened up a third therapy location. YAY! The work these ladies are doing with these kids and the impact they are having in their lives is making a world of difference or as their motto states, "Changing lives one Child at a time."

I love being able to be a part of this growing small business and I wanted to share a few of the recent design projects we have worked on recently.

ENJOY!

Christmas Showcase #11 - Making Some Music!!!

I know I have mentioned before, and I will mention it again, I LOVE working with local small businesses!!!! This is what makes my job so fun. That little groups of people trying to live their dreams can connect and help each other out with their dreams. I also LOVE when I get to see some of these small business make a BIG impact and watch these dreams become a reality!

My dear friends and clients at Sonic Audio are one of these businesses that have big dreams. Dreams that are becoming reality! If you are not familiar with the hit show The Sing Off, you should take a look. This year Sonic Audio has not one, but two clients, Home Free and Voice Play, who made it on Season 4 of NBC's The Sing Off!!! How awesome is that???

I was recently asked to help design some new variations of their logo I designed a few years ago. I just love the simplicity and personality of their logo! Sonic Audio, I am so excited to see what the wind may bring you all next and many blessings in your amazing business dreams!!!

ENJOY!
