Valentine Eye Candy

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so I had a little fun over at Minted and put together a valentines inspiration board with my the Great Escape journal.


And a few more fun designs I enjoy:

DIY Wedding: Pocket Invitations!

More and more I meet brides and other crafty individuals that are so excited to make and create their own one of a kind stationery but don't know where to find the paper, the pocket folds etc.

I have to admit I was once one of those, dare I say it, crafty individuals.  So when asked, I jumped at chance to launch a new envelopments shop where anyone can purchase the fabulous paper, card stock, pocket folds and envelopes that create such a amazing beautiful designs.   Click through the below image or through the shop posted on this blog or my website to see more!

Something is in the Water - Baby Designs


The most recent Minted challenge couldn’t have come at a more ideal time.   Baby Announcements!

I may be exaggerating when I say this, but not by much: almost everyone I know is either pregnant, just had a baby or will sometime in the next 6 months.   This includes my older sister and my baby brother’s wife (ok he is not much a baby anymore at age 28), both due within months of each other.   Lets just say that I had to restrain myself from buying a million tiny little clothes over the weekend.   So exciting!!!

It goes without saying that I was thrilled to create some fun baby announcements for minted.   We will see what happens during voting over the next couple days.

If you have time to vote, feel free to click on the below images and have at it!






This year is definitely going to be the year of the baby!  (Er…I haven’t been drinking the water, I promise, so no babies directly from me.  I prefer the babies that you can hand back to the parents once they start crying, thank you very much!)

Wedding Planning Season in this Happy New Year

Happy New Year to All!

While I am not a big resolution-making/keeping-type person, there are a few goals I am setting for the new year, but of course they are still in the works.   The biggest one is setting realistic and achievable goals etc, so I am going to take some time figuring out which are the most important.  I do know for sure that posting consistently to this blog will be one of them!

One of my favorite things about this time of year is that it truly is wedding planning season.  I've been meeting with brides and grooms all week and I am so excited to get rolling with all kinds of design ideas, unique to each couple.  

Of course I cannot post without mentioning something going on over at Minted.   Since it is the season to get engaged and to start getting wedding plans rolling, Minted is holding a wedding inspiration board challenge.   I had a ton of fun creating a few boards myself and decided in the end to enter the top option.   So take a look, feel free to click through and like my boards and start creating your own, it is easy, fun and a good way to spend an entire day doing nothing but looking at pretty things!
