Caitlin's Extras!






I used the damask monogram I created on Caitlin's thank you cards (I love the monogram). I brought in more of the fireball fuchsia in the thank you envelopes. I thought I was going to have to get white envelopes then I stumbled upon the fireball envelopes and they were the perfect size!
Caitlin's program is my first! It was originally going to be a single page bi or tri fold but it slowly turned into a double pager! I love the white 60lb cover weight stock I used on the outside with the damask print and the fireball fuchsia paper on the inside! Finally, I put together the table numbers using the same design as the programs with damask on top and bottom. The table numbers are 2 sided.
I love this damask!


Caitlin's Shocking Pink and Damask Invite!





Caitlin's invitations are very fun! We had a hard time at first finding the right shade of pink, and after some emails back and forth, Caitlin emailed me a link to this fireball fuchsia card stock. I ordered it immediately and after that, we were golden! Caitlin is having a the traditional "formal" wedding, but wanted to portray a fun atmosphere, and what better way than through hot pink and black damask designs! Because we used white cardstock and envelopes, as an added touch, I added the belly sash for a splash of added color!

These invitations are very fun and I bet her guests won't forget them!

Caitlin, you're a trouper!

Meghan's Shower Cake!!!

It makes me so happy to see things like this! Meghan's future mother-in-law took her shower invitation to the baker and had the invitation design put onto the cake! I think the baker did an amazing job capturing the flower graphic I used for Meghan's Garden Party Shower . I feel very honored that my designs are being used like this!!! Just awesome!!!

Amy's Wedding Invitations!




When Amy and I first started discussing her invitations, she told me that her and Bryan discussed it and didn't want red invitations because they may appear to be too Christmasy (their wedding colors are red and ivory). We talked about it and decided to go with a tanish color and ivory invitation and tie in the red through the graphic. The burnt sugar paper goes perfectly with the ivory cardstock and the graphic used just ties everything together perfectly. Amy, like Liza, chose to go with a belly wrap rather than an inside envelope which I was so excited about. Belly wraps are the new "in" thing and are so pretty and functional. I apologize that I didn't take a picture of the belly wrap. I will also be doing a few extra's for Amy, so watch for them in the next month!!!

Sample Unity Candle Set


So I decided I would try my hand at unity candles. Not my most favorite thing to do, but if you need one, let me know! I'd be happy to make one up for you!

Jennifer's Extras!







Jennifer is my best friend, and as part of my gift to her I am doing some of her wedding extra's for her. Jennifer and Robin decided it would be fun to do a signature drink themed after their honeymoon (which I am jealous! they are going to Tahiti)!!! I created this basic bar sign using the Mehendi love birds that have been used throughout her paper and other things in her wedding (like the henna she will be having done). I also created a guest book sign to direct her guests to sign both the book and photomat, reserved signs for family rows at the ceremony, bathroom basket signs, a reader card (for her ceremony reader to use) and finally a memory tag that will be tied to a single rose in memory of Robin's father who passed away in 2006.

Another Sample!







I was a little bored the other day and thought that I'd put together a new sample with some supplies I had on hand. I also decided that I would use black linen for the panel and the envelope mainly because I have an invitation order coming up in the next two months that will be using a black linen portable pocket and black linen envelope with corresponding wrap address labels. I really like the look of the black envelope, very sharp. And I am sure my bride will like the look too!
