Herzlichen Dank!

I am so excited to share this post with you today. This cute little man turned ONE yesterday and since I did not share his card earlier I wanted to do so today to wish him a Very Happy Birthday!!!!

In Germany they do birth announcement cards a little different and I LOVE it. Instead of just an announcement they use the card to take the opportunity to thank those who helped them when the baby was born. Meals, childcare for older siblings, gifts, well wishes, and all the other fun things that parents with a new little one can use when baby first comes home. I love this idea and think we should incorporate it more here in the States. Plus, is he not the cutest little thing????

So Happy First Birthday Tobias!!!! I am so honored I was asked to design this card for you and I can not wait to finally meet you in a few months!!!

ENJOY!

The BIG 60!

What a wonderful long weekend this has been. I am exhausted but happy! There is nothing better than the opportunity to celebrate the birth of a wonderful woman with a bunch of family and friends. Especially when that woman is your Mother!

This past week my dear Mommy turned the BIG 60! So we threw her an all out Birthday Bash at one of her favorite places, Anderson Farms!!!! This year has been one for the books for my family and I think we all needed a party to look forward to, even in the midst of struggle and change. Celebrating the wonderful years God has blessed my mother with was the perfect opportunity to dwell on JOY and the HAPPY things in life instead of the harsher things that have come our way. It is safe to say that my mom is the glue that holds us all together. She is so much stronger than she will ever know and yet she can still approach every situation with gentle grace and patience. She is a woman of God, a youthful spirit, a faithful friend, a loving wife and a very caring mother.

Sunflowers were the main theme for the event and I had so much fun designing not only the Invites, Map, and Thank You's, but getting to coordinate them to the party decor as well. Yes, it was a bright and colorful, sunflower-filled, summer-on-the-farm party and I enjoyed every minute of it!

Happy Birthday Mommy and know that you are very Loved and very Precious!!

ENJOY!

I have been so excited to share this fun design with you and today is FINALLY the day!!! I love it when clients come to me with a fun and wild idea in their heads that I get to play off of and create something new and unique. This project was definitely one of those!!

Everything from the bold Spray Paint for a Baby Shower to using the Chinese Year of the Horse symbol which will be the theme for the baby room. I LOVE it!! Move over soft pastels and flowery lettering, this baby boy is gonna make his grand entrance in BOLD, BLUE, all BOY, style!!!

ENJOY and Happy Tuesday!!

A Beautiful Day for a Beach Wedding....

Happy, Happy Wedding Day to my Beautiful Cousin!!!!!

Today in paradise my lovely cousin is getting ready to walk the sand covered aisle and say her "I Do's". I could not be happier for her and her husband-to-be. So in celebration of today, I want to share with you a little something fun.

I was honored to be asked to design the invites for their BIG day and I just LOVE how they turned out!!! Simple, fun, and perfect for a destination wedding in paradise... I can almost feel the sand in my toes and the ocean breeze on my face. I have been so excited to show these to you and today is the day!!!

Congrats Lauren and Todd on your big day!!! I hope it is everything you have ever dreamed of and I wish you both a lifetime of blessings as you start this new adventure together!!!

ENJOY!

On the 6th Day BEFORE Christmas...

"On the 6th Day BEFORE Christmas, I present to you...
... a Big Heartfelt Thanks!"

- This card design just about brings tears to my eyes every time I see it. A few weeks ago I was given the honor of designing a Thank You card for an amazing young hero who has been through more than most of us ever will in his little life. He, and his family, got to experience their Christmas Miracle early through the amazing recovery and healing of his little heart. Shaun, you are such a blessing in so many lives, Thank YOU for letting me be a small part of it! - 

ENJOY!

On the 12th Day BEFORE Christmas...

Happy December!!!! I guess a little "Welcome Back" is in order since it has been about 2 months since I posted anything. I have to confess I have been a little busy with the birth of my 2nd daughter in October... BUT I am back.. and I have tons of fun designs to share with you all.

I decided it would be fun to do my own little version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" and make a somewhat backwards countdown to showcase some of my recent work.

So without further ado.. I give you "The 12 Days BEFORE Christmas!!!"

"On the 12th Day BEFORE Christmas, I present to you...

... A fun little Welcome Back card!"

- Designed earlier this fall for CMC to hand out to teachers and staff at the start of the school year. -

ENJOY!
