Sneak Peek!

Big news! I am changing my business name and have been working hard on a new logo & identity.  I still have some tweaks to make to my site before I reveal the new look but wanted to share a sneak peek at my gorgeous letterpress business cards that I picked up today, printed at Studio Olivine:

I'm really excited about this next step for my business and can't wait to share this with you! Stay tuned...

Molly & Greg's Wedding Invitation

Last year I showed photos of Molly & Greg's Save the Dates that were complete with Molly's gorgeous drawings. Their wedding invitations are finally done and the entire set is beautiful! Here's just the invitation, front and back. Once again Molly did all the drawings and they look so amazing.

Printed offset on Classic Crest Linen with a navy blue spot color & gray ink. The envelope is "night" from Paper Source, complete with wrap-around label.

Brianne & Steve's Invitations

In March I posted photos of Save the Dates for Brianne & Steve. Their invitations just went out to family and friends so I can finally post a picture! I'll eventually take photos of the whole set but for now here's their invite that just so happened to match the envelope and liner from Paper Source perfectly.

This set was printed offset on Cranes Lettra cotton paper with a teal spot color & gray ink– beautiful!

One Heart Weddings is LIVE!

A few months ago, I started designing wedding invitations for a website called WeddingDNA.com. They recently renamed and redesigned the website and it is LIVE! Visit www.oneheartweddings.com for beautiful personalized designs for the DIY bride. Everything on this site can be downloaded and printed on your home computer. How cool is that?!

Baby Sawyer's announcement

My darling friend from high school recently had her third baby– a little girl named Sawyer (how much do you LOVE that name?!) I designed this announcement for their sweet little baby.

Anton Construction Logo

A few weeks ago I was hired to design a logo for an independent contractor. He wanted his identity to look nice & professional, so people would take him seriously and see how dedicated he is to his work. I came up with several concepts and he chose one that I am refining and will post when it's complete. But for now, here's an idea I had that wasn't quite what he was looking for, but it was my absolute favorite of the bunch!


I have to give my husband credit– it was his idea to add the hammer! I used that on a different concept but John suggested I toss it in here as well. I love it.

Brianne & Steve's Save the Date

This was a fun one to design– it's for my brother-in-law! Steve and his fiancé Brianne wanted a simple Save the Date using a photo of them and their dog, and this is what we came up with:

This was the runner up:

I'm excited to start on their wedding invitations! Be on the look out for those in the next few months :)

2010 Bride's Choice Award

I won the 2010 Brides Choice Awards from WeddingWire! I'm in the top 5 percent of wedding pros nationwide, very cool. http://ow.ly/12G7u

Kim & Marc's Invitation

I'm back! I'm officially working on designs for 2010 weddings and can't wait to show you what I've been up to. Back in October (has it been that long?!) I showed a sneak peek of a design for Kim & Marc. Kim wanted to use a dark purple ink, and somehow incorporate her love of whimsical harlequin designs with orchids. Here's what we came up with!





I'll be back with more photos as my 2010 weddings come back from the printer!

A new addition!

My apologies for the lack of posts lately... I've been a little preoccupied with a new addition to our family!


John and I welcomed Oliver into our lives on December 7th. He was 8 lbs., 12 oz and 21.25" long. He is such a good baby and we are so in love with him! I'll be back toward the end of January with photos of new work and more updates, so stay tuned. Until then, have a wonderful holiday season!

Facebook Fan Page

I finally got my act together and created a Fan Page on Facebook! Click the link over to the right and add me if you haven't already :)

Sneak Peek!

Here's a little preview of a new invitation suite I'm working on using an orchid illustration... I'm loving it so far and the bride has great feedback and suggestions. I can't wait to finish it up and share the rest!

Molly & Greg's Save the Dates

I posted a sneak preview of a graphic being used for a Save the Date project and am so excited to share the final piece! Molly, the bride, is a family friend and just so happens to be an extremely talented artist (check out her stuff on Etsy! So cool). I was stoked when she hired me and said she wanted to draw the illustrations for her Save the Dates and invitations because I knew they would be amazing. I love the way these turned out and can't wait to start on the invites!

The Save the Dates are being sent in envelopes from Paper Source in the color "Night".

Look at that detail in the bird! So great.

Printed offset on Classic Crest linen paper. I LOVE this texture!

Min & Gateley's Invitations

The other day, I was scrolling through the posts at WeddingBeePro, and came across an entry called Lots of Goodies! by Melody of the Sweet and Saucy Shop. The first photo totally caught my attention and I absolutely loved the cake design. Two seconds later, I realized it looked familiar. Haven't I seen that picture somewhere? As I scroll down I realize it's the cake of one of my clients and included is a photograph of the monogram I designed for them used for their favors!

Source

I was sitting by myself at home and said out loud, "Hey! That's my design! How cool." It was just so random, and very cool to see my work on someone else's website. Here's a shot of their invitation suite:


And a few photos from their wedding that I absolutely love (photographer is Sarah Holden Photography):

NACE Event Invitation

A few weeks ago, I was asked by Shawn from Event Team Entertainment if I'd be interested in designing an invitation for a kick-off event for the NACE (National Association of Catering Executives) chapter starting in Portland. I was really excited about this opportunity, not only to have my name on the invite as a sponsor of the event, but to actually be invited to it as well! I'm looking forward to meeting other event professionals in Portland and getting my name out there.

The invitation was to look modern & fresh, and to play off the space the event will be held (Departure, a restaurant at the nines Hotel). I used one of my favorite graphics for this invite and I think it came out well!

Upcoming project

I'm working with a new couple on their September 2010 wedding materials, and I can't wait to get started on their Save the Dates! The bride is a talented artist and sent me a couple pen & ink drawings to use, and let me tell you– they're awesome! Below is a sneak peek at one of the graphics I'll incorporate into my design. Stay tuned for the final product coming in a few weeks.

Erin & Michael's Reception Extras

Back in April I posted a few photos of Erin & Michael's invitations. Today I received some images from their awesome photographers at Honeysuckle Photography of a few pieces I created for their reception. You have to check out their photos on Honeysuckle's blog, and the slideshow as soon as it's up on their website. Erin & Michael are such a sweet couple and they looked amazing! And how gorgeous is the bride's dress?! Enjoy looking through their fantastic photos!

Heidi & Kartr's Invitations

I had the pleasure of working with Heidi a few months ago on her wedding invitations, and I truly loved this project. She is very crafty and was excited about assembling the invitations herself, and just needed my help designing and printing all the pieces. Their wedding was earlier in July at the Black Walnut Inn in Dundee, Oregon, and their reception on August 1st at the Bethany Vineyards in Ridgefield, Washington. She sent me the link to their photos from their photographer Jamie Bosworth and loved looking through them, especially to see how she used my designs at the actual wedding (I love the menus!) Congratulations, Heidi and Kartr. I wish you all the best!!

Awesome photo booth idea!

I've noticed the trend lately of having photo booths at weddings, an idea I LOVE and wish I would have considered for my own wedding! Any kind of activity or take-away for guests is always a wonderful idea. I stumbled upon this photo booth from onecoolpick's post today and had to share– look how incredibly awesome this is!
