-- Bird Themed Wedding Invitations --

This is an extra special blog post because I have been saving this to mark the very special occasion of Davida and Chris' big day! I met Davida and Chris over the summer and after they got engaged in the fall, Davida contacted me and asked me if I could help her with their wedding invitations. Their colors were black, gray and green and she wanted to use birds as part of their theme. We went through a few revisions until we got it just right and I have to say I love the colors they picked for their wedding! The green just pops against the black and makes everything so striking. For the rsvp cards, I carried over the colors and the birds from the invitation to help tie everything together.

I'm so excited for the two of them to be tying the knot today and I cant wait to see pictures. Best wishes to Davida and Chris and many happy years together!

Up next I'll be sharing their placecards and table numbers!

-- Cartoon Ladybug Birthday Invitations --

When I heard from Sarah's mom about her second birthday invitations, she told me how much she liked the cartoon version of Pierce that I did for his first birthday invitation. She also mentioned that Sarah's birthday theme would be ladybugs and it took me awhile to figure out how to incorporate a cartoon version of Sarah with ladybugs but here's what I came up with:

I love the little cartoon Sarah and how much it looks like her (check out Sarah's blog to check out all her adventures). A very happy birthday goes out to this little miss, hope you have a wonderful day complete with chasing ladybugs!

-- Monkey Themed 1st Birthday Invitations --

Let's go bananas at Joaquin's 1st Birthday!

Joaquin's mom contacted me last month about designing the birthday boy's monkey themed 1st birthday party. Such a cute theme definitely deserved a super cute invitation to go along with it and here is the final product:

-- Custom Holiday Cards --

Apologies to all my readers for the lack of posts, I'm very behind on my blogging! I wanted to start off catching up on my blogging by sharing a few of the custom holiday cards that I designed for clients during my big November 2009 promo.

Remember Baby Sean? I was lucky enough to design his family's holiday card this year as well. I love his expression in this picture!

The next 2 designs were also for a client looking for a custom holiday card. I did 2 different versions of this card and I still can't decide which one I like more!
