Photo thank you cards are the perfect way to say thanks! I just adore this picture of my son from his second birthday party and wanted to share it with all who attended. To continue his baseball theme, I found inspiration from vintage baseball cards for the design. Only in our photo instead of a baseball, this little slugger has a cupcake in his hand! Custom designed thank you cards with a smiling face are a fantastic way to make your message even more memorable!

  Doesn’t this party sound like a blast?  I just adore the look of vintage circus posters and find the typography to be blissfully whimsical. So when Michele asked me to create a first birthday invitation with this theme, I was beyond thrilled with all the possibilities!   In creating the look I was inspired by antique circus advertisements and punched up the color to make it fun and modern for this adorable little girl’s special day. Everything from the design of the invitation to the writing I created was truly custom for the big event. It was printed on pure white semi gloss cardstock with a glossy coating on the photo side. I think the end result is absolutely adorable!  It grabs your attention – and being that there is a side of the invitation devoted to a photo of the little princess, it’s the kind of card that people keep out on display long after the party has ended! Thank you Michele and Happy Birthday Ceci!

The right wedding favors don’t have to be expensive by any means, they just need to be selected properly and presented with style and sophistication, just like the rest of your wedding!  It is a shame when a bride spends lots of money on trinkets that will just be tossed aside due to lack of practicality. One way to create a memorable wedding favor that won’t get tossed away is to make a soundtrack of your special day with a personalized CD. I was so excited when Latrice’s wedding planner told me that she had presented the idea of a CD of love songs for her client’s upcoming Engagement Party.  I created this custom designed label with their monogram & wedding date.  It’s a personalized gift that can be enjoyed many times over! This favor is a very special way to commemorate the happy occasion. Congratulations Latrice & Matthew!   (Personalized CDs also make great party favors for Bachelorette Parties, Bridal Showers, and Birthday Parties!)

Thank you Carrie, Celeste, Michele, Michelle, & Suzanne! Have a wonderful Mother’s Day and enjoy spending time with your bundles of joy!

   It was such an honor to be able to create a beautiful invitation to Cecilia’s Baptism – it was customized specially for the lovely little guest of honor! I am very proud of how this came out – so elegant with a touch of glamour for the girly girl!   The invitation is 2-sided, featuring her absolutely adorable photo and date of the momentous event on one side - and the details on the other. It was printed on pearlized cardstock with a high-shine gloss coating added to the photo side – I just adore the level of style and glamour the paper choice added to the elegant design.  Congratulations to the proud parents, Jerry & Michele! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to create her Baptism Invitation! It is sure to become a timeless reminder of a special day.
