-- 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:



A very happy 1st birthday goes out to Joaquin! I know his mom's been very busy planning a very memorable and fun birthday for the little man and I can't wait to see the pictures!

-- 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!

Up next: wedding invitations and birthday cards galore!

-- Photo Birth Announcement --

I was so excited about doing this birth announcement because it was for a very special couple and we're all so thrilled for them that their baby boy is finally here! Sean is such a cutie and I had the chance to also take the pictures for this birth announcement so thanks Sean for putting up with me and my amateur photography skills :). His mom wanted a modern and unique birth announcement and here is the end result! I love it!



Sam & Mike congrats again and cant wait to see baby Sean soon!

-- 60th Retro Birthday Invitations --

Remember Rachel? She's not the only one in her family with an eventful year, her grandpa's turning 60 and he's having a party! Since this is the second 60th birthday invitation in a row that I've designed, I'm starting to sense that 60th birthday parties are becoming all the rage. The birthday party has a really fun retro theme and Rachel's mom gave me some ideas on what she was looking for so I came up with this:



I was so excited when Rachel's mom contacted me again, it means so much to me to have satisfied repeat customers. Thank you again for trusting me once more with your stationary needs! Hope you all have a fabulous time at the party!
