Bridal Shower Invites


Kelli's husband Klaus' cousins had planned weddings very close to the same date. In order to make travel easier for everyone, Klaus' mom decided to host a combination shower for the girls. The information I was given was that one girl was using raspberry pink and celadon, one was using navy and silver, and they both were using chocolate brown. Given that combination of colors, I was afraid they would turn out looking like an ice cream sundae or baby shower invitations!
I was fairly please with how they turned out. I made a bridesmaid dress representing each of the girls' colors and printed all the information on the bridal gown. I especially liked the tulle overskirt and the pearl details on the bodice.

Holiday Cards

The holidays are my favorite time of year, with Halloween and Christmas being my favorite! I usually make our Christmas cards, but this year decided to give Halloween cards a try as well.

I think they turned out pretty cute. My favorite part about them were the ghosts and the Harry Potter font. My cute kids didn't hurt, either! Mason decided he wanted to be Diego and he got to choose Max's costume--Baby Jaguar!

This next section are some Christmas cards I did for last year.

This was my family's card. I really like the simplicity of it.

My sister-in-law had me do this card. It was really nice to be able to get a great shot for the main card, but then also include snapshots from throughout the year. Kayden changed so much!

My parents LOVE being grandparents! They wanted to showcase their boys on their Christmas card so all their faraway friends could see their babies.

Birthday invites

Here are a few of the birthday invitations that I've done.

Since Max's birthday falls right in the middle of the holiday party season, I sent out a save the date to let everyone mark his party on their calendar. I made it into a magnet so it would be front and center on the fridge!

This was for Max's first birthday. I loved being able to see the progression of his getting older. That first year flies by so quickly that it is really neat to be able to see a snapshot of it altogether.

This one was for my nephew's second birthday. The party was at Gymboree so I tried to simulate the bubbles and balloons they always use.

The next two invites were ones that I was very honored to do. Jacob's grandfather turned 70 this past February and we had a huge celebration for him. It was a great time and wonderful to see just how much he means to so many people.
