A look back on 2008...

2008 was my busiest year yet. So busy that I could hardly find the time to blog properly or even post new pictures of the invites I did this year. I finally have the time to do both. With the help of one of my favorite photographers, Alison Bates (www.batesphotographic.com), I am able to show you some of my work from this year. Below are some of the items I did throughout the year. 

Kristine and Charles

I met with Kristine and Charles and 5 minutes later I was laughing. They are a great couple and Charles has a interesting vocabulary to describe his happiness. When we first met, they fell in love with a folded card invitation. Kristine said they had already research pocketfolds, but they were out of her budget. I convinced her to let me quote out both styles so she can see the difference in price.  Their colors started off being Bronze and a nice medium blue. Well 24 hours later she emailed me and said Charles (her fiance) fell in love with Bronze and Fuchsia. That's my kind of guy! So we redid all the paper work and in the end Kristine got her pocketfolds that she wanted - in her budget. They provided a monogram to start and I molded it a bit better to fit the invite. They decided to use alternating paper colors for their insert cards. Put all together, it was a stunning piece. They went over so well, Kristine just emailed me and needs 20 more!

Thelmina's Classy Vegas Wedding

When I met with Thelmina she was so excited to get married in Vegas. But she wanted nothing to do with the Vegas look. She wanted very classy, yet simple and in teal and browns. She liked the idea of a bow, but not across the top or side - so we put it on an angle. With some tweaking here is what the finished product looks like. We did a matching Respose and Itinerary Card. The Itinerary card includes some playful graphics to make the invite a bit more fun. 

Congrats Thelmina - thanks for being open to being a bit different!
