Mexico+Baby Shower=?

Yes, Mexico+Baby Shower=?...A friend of mine's wife recently got in touch with me in order to design some baby shower invitations for her sister in-law. The sister in-law was married in Mexico, was having the baby shower (she's having a girl) at a Mexican Restaurant, and again wanted to tie all this Mexican talk into a baby shower for a girl. Now when I think of baby girls, I think of pinks, plums even yellow. On the other hand, Mexico is more primary-red, green, blue....etc. So how do you mix the two....see the outcome!

Sweet pinata's with falling little candies and apoxy circles for texture!

Have you ever....

Seen anything so magical? This past weekend as I was driving into my garage a glimpse of color distracted me and to my surprise...A RAINBOW!!! and it was a full one, from one end to the next. I was so excited to see this (I'm originally from NJ, where the pollution is soooo heavy) but in Florida- it's nothing but open fields.

Amber & Zaq: July 2009

Another long overdue post.

Amber blogged about my damask matchbook mints on her blog zrust! Earlier this year she expressed how her and rad hubby Zaq were planning their intimate wedding at home and again the infamous damask was there theme including the colors of red, black, and white. I was able to make her matchbook mints to coordinate with her colors, half in black and white and the other in red and black...She loved em'

Post-wedding, Amber was so siked about her Photographer's ale, and I have to tell you the photo's were phoenomial! You can check out Amber & Zaq's fabulous punk nuptials here, which even included Zaq's serenading Amber with his guitar...So SWEET!

Below is her awesome color coordinated candy buffet (see damask mints-top left). If your getting married in the Minneapolis area, be sure to check these talented two photographers!

Jennefer & James: 10.9.09

This is a post "over due"...I know!

Jennefer contacted me through my Esty shop because she was having a butterfly theme wedding and in her words, "kept coming back to the shop because she loved this butterfly designed invitation". Such a pleasure to work with, Jenn and I could stay on the phone for 1-3 hrs. talking it up.

Her colors included plume, which is a HOT 2009 wedding color. Jennefer's cake was also decorated with shades of purple butterflies.

To bring texture to the invitation it was fully wrapped with a screen printed paper full of plume butterflys and tied together with a lavender satin ribbon.

The butterfly motif was also placed on her placecards and the screen printed paper was also used for them and the table markers.

Congratulations Jennefer & James, already into 1 month of married....

A Mother's LOVE....

An Etsy customer by the name of Larissa was searching Etsy for some SAVE THE DATES when she came upon my shop and was stopped by my Flowergirl InVitation Tins. According to Larissa, these made her cry because she will soon ask a little girl by the name of Sierra whom is her soon to be husbands daughter to be her flowergirl. I can just imagine the emotions Larissa will be feeling when she pop's the question...She will be gaining a DAUGHTER!!!! ( I love little girls)

Thank you Larissa, Sierra is going to love her gift from you in her favorite colors of blue and green.

Rub a Dub in the Tub Baby Shower InVite!

I'm loving this InVitation!!!!

If you don't want to overwhelm the shower with rubber duckies....bubbles are an alternative. I created this baby shower invitation with floating bubbles. There are flat printed bubbles and epoxy bubbles also, to get that raised 3-D look.

This invitation is in my Etsy shop and is also available for baby girls in the colors of pink and purple.
