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!

Hello, My Name is.....

Happy Tuesday!!! Fall is in the air and kids are all back in school. Schedule are being set and the activities are starting. YAY!!! I love Fall!!!

Just wanted to take the time share a fun little newsletter I worked on recently for a local Church, Family In Christ Community Church. They wanted an updated look to go along with the start of school and the changes of fall. Complete with newly sharpened pencils, bright changing leaves, and crisp clean notebook paper. Just in time to kick off this year in official Back to School style!

ENJOY!!!

Christmas Showcase #15 - Make a Joyful Noise!

Happy Sunday!!!! It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas more and more each day here. Today's To-Do-Before-the-Holiday check list was brought to you by the wonderful voices of my daughters little choir with a delightful Christmas performance at Family in Christ Community Church this morning. I just love listening to, and watching, these kids perform - and as always, todays performance did not disappoint! Complete with: dress twirling, nap taking, shepherds' staff sword-fighting, sibling pinching and a whole lot of mid-song "Hi Mom" waving!!! Indeed, it is the most wonderful time of the year!

In honor of todays entertaining performance, I wanted to share with you a fun little number I worked on recently for our local church. Yes, not only do I have the opportunity to work with some of our local businesses, but I have also had the privilege of working with several churches as well.

Family in Christ (FIC) recently completed a new expansion project and they wanted to share the news, and the new space, with their neighbors. Each year the church sends out a little newsletter/newspaper with info about the church and updates for the new year. This year they wanted to focus the newsletter on the new expansion with a little Christmas flare added in. I had so much fun updating the design on this project. And the cute kids choir on the front was the perfect icing on the cake!

ENJOY!

Let Creation Speak...

Happy Monday!!! Today I want to share with you a fun little project that is very dear to my heart.

In my business I love meeting new clients and designing different projects to suit their needs. Each new project helps broaden my creative ideas and gives me a new chance to learn and grow in my design abilities. Yes, I love meeting new people!!!! BUT one of my favorite things about what I do is that I also get to design things a little closer to home. It is always a compliment to me when my own family wants me to design something for them. I love my family!!!

I was recently asked by my Sister and Brother-in-Law to design some ministry materials for them.
They have an amazing opportunity ahead of them and I was thrilled to be a part of this new adventure!!!! I love how fun this project turned out - clean, simple, and eye catching. Exactly what they needed.
OH, and I also love projects that I get to be "matchy-matchy" with... and this one was just that!!!!

ENJOY and blessings on your new adventure Downings, I love you guys!!!!!

A New Generation...

Happy New Year!!! 2012 is upon us already but I still have a few 2011 projects I have yet to share. So without further ado here is a fun little, ahem, not-so-little project I worked on a few months ago.

At the end of the summer I was asked to help design a Logo and corresponding Marketing Materials for Family in Christ Community Church's upcoming Capital Campaign. I love being able to use my gifts and talents in this way and I was super excited to work and serve with such an amazing team of leaders.

What originally started out as a little logo soon turned into a HUGE portfolio of projects... each one just a little bit different and unique. This was indeed a fun project for me to work on, for as any of you who know me well will know, I LOVE Matchy Matchy!!!! It just does not get better than working on over 20 different design projects that all have to MATCH!!! Whew.. it was a lot of work but they all turned out wonderfully and I am truly blessed to have been such a big part of this campaign.

ENJOY!
