heidi & justin's save the date

i just finished heidi & justin's save the date today-- i LOVE it! heidi took this amazing photo and i couldn't wait to use it on their postcard. she had so many great ideas and lots of input, and it was so fun working on this. enjoy!! :)

updated invitation design!

when my dear friends heather and nate got engaged last march, i was SO excited! right away, i started thinking of ideas for their invitation. heather has great taste, so i wanted to be sure to come up with something that would really impress her. something romantic and modern, but also staying true to to the feel of a traditional wedding invitation. i came up with so many ideas, and she gave me some great input that really helped create our final piece. so, here it is! once it's printed, i'll post a photograph of it since this image doesn't really do it justice. we're going to add ribbon to the invitation and it will be printed on opalescent paper, giving it a little extra pizazz! i can't wait to see the final piece!

personal side note...

for those of you who don't know, my husband john has been in school the past year working for his paramedic certification. he has gone through weeks of long classes, clinical rotations, other workshops, and a very intense and draining internship. he took the written part of the national exam on monday, and found out this morning that he PASSED! he was worried sick about it because it was the hardest test of his life, but everyone who knows john knew that he would pass. he is so smart and has worked SO hard for this, so how could he not do well?! he has sacrificed a lot and i'm just so excited for him! he takes the final part of the exam, the practical hands-on test, on saturday. we all know he will pass that, too. i just wanted to share the news because i am so proud and happy for my dear husband! what a way to start off the new year!!
