The Finley in blue and poppy!  Very patriotic for a July wedding don't ya think?

Meet Felicity (yes, I loved that show) a new member of the Stelie Designs 2012 wedding collection .  Perfect for beach, tropical or desitination wedding.  Or for flamingo lovers. Easton {age 2.5} This kid LOVES flamingo's!! When I showed him this invite and he carried it around.  He has been planning a flamingo birthday cake for about 5 months.  His birthday is in July.

Today is Memorial Day here in the US.  It's a holiday to commemorate US men & women lost while fighting for our country.   While I honor & thank those who've lost their lives serving our country,  I also reflect on remembering my family members who've passed. My maternal grandpa was a glider pilot in WWII who thankfully returned home and led a long life.  He passed away 10 years ago on Veteran's Day (very fitting)  A couple weekends ago we celebrated my beloved maternal grandma who passed away from brain cancer at the age of 91. She lived a long full, happy life.  She was a wonderful grandma to me and an even better great grandma to my kids and nephews.  She will forever be missed but her creative spirit lives on in my kids.

The Etsy Greetings  Team is having a Wedding Blog Hop.  If you are starting out, sit back and enjoy hopping around to see fabulous wedding paper goods by many talented artists. If you are coming here from Pam of BayBreeze Designs 's blog.  Welcome!!  So glad you are hopping! I love weddings! Which is why I love designing wedding invitations, modern + fun. While these invitations are not new to my shop they have been gaining in popularity.  I'm sure you've seen the mustache trend.  They are fun props for photo booths, designs on straws, on glasses, on shirts on my notepads, on almost anything you can think of.   I thought why not wedding invitations?  Below are two recent mustache clients.  Each in their own colors, yet equally delightful. How do you feel about the mustache trend? Love it or leave it?  I'll admit, I wasn't in love but joined the trend with my mustache notepads, which sold...

 My skyline invites have become my most popular invite! I have lots of plans to use what's working (skyline) + a little something else to make a new design.  I used my NYC outline shown in navy with my heart tree design to make this new fall skyline. Sometimes, I'm a design recycler/reinventor, a work with what you have type.  I have 4 kids, work from home, limited daycare since January, a child who's been demanding of my time since April with dr's and going to school issues (another post...someday)  along with last month being my 2nd highest sales month since I started this business of mine.  Meaning sometimes finding time to actually create new designs (without someone paying me) needs to be quick.  I was reminded of the below custom design option (not chosen) for my wonderful clients this time 2 years ago, which I still like but needed to clean it up a bit to love it. I made the trees more linear, chan...

This lovely couple is getting married in Boston (hence, the Boston skyline invite) and added some really fun parts to their invitations.  Check out the tag on the bottom left "Please come hungry and wear your dancing shoes!"  Can we say...LOOOVE IT!! Then take a peek at the response card.  Along with responding you will or won't be able to attend their guests will get to answer what they plan to do at their wedding and what the best qualities of the happy couple are!  Can we say....LOOOOVE IT even more!!  Of course, don't forget the matching thank you card. You can find my skyline invites (Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Calgary, Chicago, Minneaplis, New York City & Seattle) in my shop .

This sweet couple returned for invitations after I did their save the dates.  I am truly honored when my clients return for more.  That shows I must be doing something right. You can find the olive tree in my shop.

The Easton invitation is now available with the Atlanta skyline.  Atlanta joins Minneapolis, New York City, Chicago & Austin.  Not one of your cities, I can draw yours.

April was a BUSY month. The kind of busy I love. The kind of busy that means I have many fantastic weddings to share. This is the Macy design with a little bit of Sasha thrown in for uniqueness. I love how it turned out. Even better...the bride loves how they turned out!

If you've been following me for a while, then you know I've worked with the incredibly wonderful women of sugarSNAP ! Two mom's of twins (twin love!) started a business to help organize the never ending amount of stuff babies/toddlers/kids need.  I was lucky enough to have them find me and choose me to work with them on their logo & fabric design.   Truly amazing!  {photo by sugarSNAP}  {photo by sugarSNAP} I was also lucky enough to receive my very own sugarSNAP files. In March I opened my mailbox to find not just bills but a surprise package.  Which I opened to find this... which opened to this   Not only do I think they are cool, enjoy how they are packaged and love them but professionally it rocks to see my digital files in print.  The info card I made pretty with their words. The fun fabric with mesh so you can see what's in there. full fabric back.  After squealing with delight and...
