bridal shower invitations

this weekend was the bridal shower for a dear friend of mine. i begged the other bridesmaids to let me design some invitations for the shower and had a blast coming up with these guys. click here to see my inspiration board. my new favorite thing is mailing labels. what do you think?

another fav: envelope liners. i can't decide between the two favs. it's like grape and cherry. (those of you who are brian regan fans know what i'm talking about!)

the invitation suite.

the shower was a success and i will be posting more about the day of crafts later this week.

Mini-Bunting on Jackie Wonders' blog!

the mini-bunting i made a little while ago was for one of my best friend's engagement session with Jackie Wonders, another one of my dear friends. she recently posted about the sesh on her blog and gave me a sweet mention. thanks Jackie! love you!i just love these pictures so much! Heather and Aaron look so sweet together. i can't wait to see how amazing their wedding pictures are gonna turn out. i bet they will be breathtaking!
my mini-bunting looks WAYYYYYYY better when Jackie takes pictures of it. i guess that's why she's the professional.she also grabbed a shot of the save the dates i made for them, which also look way better through her lens! if i hadn't known her for 7 years i would totally be startstruck! if you are ever interested in custom bunting for your engagement session or wedding i would totally LOVE to make it for you. it's one of my favorite things to do, ever.

bunting addiction

ever since i saw this post back around Christmas-time i've been TOTALLY addicted to bunting. that's why when my BFF told me was getting some engagement pictures done soon, i acted like the little kid in the back of the classroom raising her hand because she was busting at the seams with a question, asking if i could make some bunting for their photo sesh.

the whole idea was to make something that would be tied to the vintage bikes they'll be riding around. you now... like the "JUST MARRIED" bunting you see on the back of cars, only for the bikes. so this is what i came up with:

i love them so much i want to keep them. only, i'm already hitched!

i used a cereal box, a book we NEVER read from our bookshelf, some hot glue, a little ric rac, and alphabet stickers. it took me about 2 hours, but it probably would have taken less with no interruptions. (they were good interruptions though, went to the pool & the beach!!)

what do you think?

Bridal Shower Inspiration

this is what i found while on a mad hunt for inspiration: first off, 100 layer cake for their color boards, which are AMAZING! second, Amy Atlas's candy tables. last but not least, MaeMae Paperie, where i'm ALWAYS jaw-droppingly inspired.

stay tuned for the outcome, we'll see how it all measures up!

Kelly & Joel: MARRIED!

i had the pleasure of making the save the dates and wedding invitations for kelly and joel, who were recently wed. they were referred to me by two hard working and fun loving woman, Maryann and Aubyn from Taylored Occasions. the save the dates were magnets with a photo from their engagement session with La Vida Creations.

kelly and joel chose envelopments, which are always such a lovely added touch to the invitation suite.

congratulations kelly and joel! thank you for letting me a part of your big day. best wishes to your future together as husband and wife!

Stationary for a Fashion Consultant

my mother-in-law is one of the most stylish woman i know. she always looks amazing and has the most awesome collection of shoes i have ever seen. she recently asked me to make her business stationary for her new fashion consultation company, Rojoshoes. here is the custom design we worked on together.

if you are interested in some closet therapy, you can contact her through her facebook.

fabric flower save the dates

here are the save the dates i just finished for my BFF! i love them SOOOOOO much, i think she does too. which is even better. (sorry about the crappy pictures, this was the best one out of like, 50.)

except for the fact that i got totally high from the fumes of the spray adhesive and had a raging headache for 2 whole days, it was super fun! haha. my dear friend and mentor came over and we got them done in about an hour. we laughed, we cried, we adhered... not sure how much of it was due to the fumes, but it was still fun. i guess next time i should do them outside.

i hope you like them!
