baby announcement [matthew]

This announcement was such an especially exciting one for me to design for many reasons.  Matthew's mom is a friend of mine and you've probably seen her other invites throughout this blog.  I get so excited when she has a new design idea because has such a great sense of style when it comes to what she wants in an invite or announcement that it makes my job so easy.  I especially love the simplicity of this one and the softness that it brings. 

And with every custom order, there are the designs that didn't make the cut--but that I love just the same.  Its great for you because they are then offered to anyone!  I really love the boldness of the first one and the subtle texture of the last one (it would look great in girl colors too-- like soft pinks and blushes).

flickr page

Over the break, I took some much needed time to recoup and reorganize. I finally moved all my latest designs to one place! Sometimes when I get e-mails from people wanting an invite or announcement, I have a few files that I have to gather and send. But now, I created a flickr page with all my latest work, so people can just visit one place and see all my options.

Here are some samples from my page:





Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE doing custom work. However more recently, I'm finding people who just want something personalized, so I wanted to make it easier for those people who need it sooner or want to spend less.

I have them organized into sets that I will continue to update as I get a chance to finish uploading former pieces including more invites, stationery, and recipe cards as well as new ideas and designs. Hopefully this will make it easier to find what you're looking for when you need an invite!

baby barrett

Meet Barrett. Isn't he adorable?? Rebecca contacted me a few months ago and wanted something that looked classic with 3 or 4 pics and something that incorporated his monogram. I loved the idea of the monogram and was happy to help! Rebecca was so sweet and great to work with--we're already planning his 1st bday invites! :) Here's the final product. I love how they came out!

more baby announcements

i mentioned a while back that i would post cole's baby announcement and realized that i never did. so here it is! cole is now my model in all my announcement templates. don't worry, i asked mama tori first! :) isn't he too cute?!? also, here are a few of my more recent announcements i've been working on and are now available for customization. enjoy!

new baby announcements

i just got done finishing up some baby announcements for precious baby cole. i gave tori three to choose from, and while i'm sure she is hard at work addressing, stamping, and mailing out the one she did pick, i figured i'd share the ones she didn't because they will be going in my etsy shop in the next couple of days along with some others. i'll post the one she did pick in the upcoming weeks. isn't he perfect?!?
