Happy October - Class of 2013!!!

Yay!!!! October is finally here!!!! My favorite month of the year has finally arrived. Not only do I love this month because I love Fall but because it is also my birthday month AND this year it could possible be baby #2's birthday month as well. Yes indeed, October is my Favorite!!!

To kick off my favorite month I wanted to share with you some super fun photos of one of my favorite people (who's birthday also happens to be this month). A few weeks ago I got to hang with this amazing girl and take her senior portraits. We had a blast!!!! Bubbles + Rivers + Old Barns + Sunsets + Playgrounds + Awesome Sunglasses make for the perfect photographic adventure!

ENJOY, and Sophia darling, you are a true gem, never forget that! Love you for days!!!!

Colorado Blues Dance!

And now for my FINAL September Showcase Logo... I bring you the new Colorado Blues Dance logo!!! If you have known me for a while (or had the chance to read a few of my past blog posts) I LOVE to dance!!!! I just can't help it.. there is something about good music and a good beat that gets my toes tapping and eventually up and dancing!!!

This year I was asked by a few local dance event leaders to help with designing some of their event posters, flyers ads and a new logo. Of course I said YES!!! It just does not get any better than being able to combine two of my favorite things, Dance & Design!!!

ENJOY!!!!

Dawna's Design Threads...

Are you ready for this weeks September Showcase Logo? I know I am!!!! I have been eagerly awaiting sharing this fun little design with you and today is finally that day!!!!

I love small businesses, I know I say that a lot but it is true. I love being able to help give people who are just starting out, or who want a more professional look, a fun "face lift" to their business. This new client of mine has been in business for a while but was wanting that personal one-of-a-kind logo and marketing look that would help her stand out from the crowd and help her business reach the next level.

My very talented new friend runs a quilting pattern design business called Dawna's Design Threads. She creates fun repeating patterns that fellow quilters can buy and use to finish off their quilts giving them a unique patterned texture to their handiwork. I personally have never quilted in my life, but I just LOVE how beautiful these patterns look on a finished quilt. (You can check out more of her products and examples HERE)

Working with someone who is artsy and talented is always a fun experience. I LOVED her patterns and since she wanted a personal one-of-a-kind logo we decided to use a part of one of these quilting designs she has created and fashion it into a logo design. FUN! It does not get more unique than this!

I just adore how it turned out, simple and elegant and so perfect for her booming small business!!!

ENJOY!
