Holiday Cards

This year I ran a special offering my clients Holiday cards at a discount price. The orders flew in - thank you so much! Here are a few of my favorites.

Brian, Jessica, Olivia and Owen



Here are my boys. I designed 2 different cards to hand out this past year. As you can see in the picture - I had our Christmas letter on the back.





Rob, Jen and Logan



Nai and Dana



Jeremy, Jody and Ainsley



I did post one of my designs early in December that ended up being my top seller. Click here to view.
I will be offering my discount again next year! And anyone of these templates will be available or I can custom make one for your family.
Happy New Year!

Surprise, Surprise!

Surprise parties are the best. Especially when you can keep it a secret and see the guest of honor's reaction!
Here I created an invitation suitable for a surprise 60th birthday. I brought a little punch of teal to brighten up the invitation and bring everything together.

Holiday Party Celebration

Every year I host a Tapas Holiday Party for my girlfriends. It's a delight to get out of the house and have a fun evening with your closest friends.
The invitation is regular Business #10 envelope size. I used the metallic paper and mounted them on gold cardstock for the back side.
The invitation also had an insert for additional information.

I love Fall colors

Here is designed an invite using the rich warm colors of Fall. The invite is 6x9 and printed on smooth white cardstock.

My niece turned 16!

Happy Birthday Mariah!
I can't believe my niece is 16 - I remember her being born like is was yesterday.
I had the joy to design and make her party invitations. She decided to have a black and white Sweet 16 party. I designed the invites with elegance, yet fun! I used white metallic paper for the printing and mounted on a black matte cardstock.
Have fun Saturday!!!!! Love you

Looking into the Past — Part II

A look at more work I have done in the past...





Julie and Brad's wedding at the Balboa Inn. Julie came to me with the idea of taking her engagement pictures and using them as table numbers. She than incorporated writing in the sand the numbers of the table - such a clever idea! They turned out great!




Classic invite for a night of fun!



I designed this invite for our Open House back in October. Our home town has a festival every year called the Pumplin Festival and we held our open house on that weekend. It was great to tie in the season of the year and the festivities into the invite.

Happy 30th Birthday!

I love taking a turn and designing outside of my comfort zone. Of course, the majority of my clients are female and to be able to design something for a male is great! One of my clients threw her husband a 30th birthday poker party. She had no idea of what she would like to do - so I got to let my imagination run wild and above shows the outcome. I love it!

Looking into the Past — Part I

Here is some of my work I have done in the past year for my clients.


An identity I created for a personal concierge service. My client wanted something fun, spunky, and professional! She just loved with what I created.


My son just loves Jack from Disney's Nightmare Before Christmas. He wanted his 11th birthday party to be just that! For the life of me, I had the hardest time finding all the party supplies (the movie was released in 1993), thank goodness we have ebay! But I didn't care for the invites, so I created mine own. I cannot take credit for the wording, friend of mine wrote that - Thanks MelBel!


Isn't he the cutest! I created my friend's son's first birthday party invites. I just love them!


Leslie is a great person to work with. She has such bright ideas and I am happy to help plan her special day! One of the first pieces I created were her save the dates. I love the elongated card and I used glossy paper for the front and matte for the back.

It's a Girl!

I came upon the privilege to design a personalized Thank You card for a client. She is planning a shower for her cousin and wanted to have Thank You cards made for her. The soon-to-be parents knew they are having a girl and wanted a pink footprint with their colors of pink and green on a thank you card - Stacia to the rescue! The bonus of my work! They also requested to have Thank you and their names printed on the inside and room for them to personalized the card. Such a clever idea!

I <3 Baby Showers!

I recently helped host a baby shower for one of my good friends. Of course I got the responsibility to make the invitations. I had so much fun making these! Adding the 3D embellishments pulled the whole invite together.
The shower was a huge success - a lot fun, girl talk, and great baby gifts. She is due in just 2 weeks - I can't wait to say "hi" to the little guy!

Cooking for a Cause

My friend Allison is a great person. She is so into the well being of our Earth, People and the love of God. She came to me asking to create an invitation to help others in need. She hopes this turns into something bi-annual or annually. Her main audience is women in the twenties and thirties and I felt I needed to make the invite as trendy as the fashion world today! I also incorporated a little bit of retro art noting the fact of women back in the kitchen (of course for a good cause!).
