Someone’s Turning 30! July 27, 2010

My best buddy is hitting the big 3-0 and is going to have a super fab birthday party to celebrate. We made a trip to good ole Paper Source to pick out some paper and get some ideas. Yvett & I together at Target is deadly, let alone Paper Source where the inspiration is everywhere! We came across these great stamps. I’m on an embossing kick, so using these beautiful stamps in vibrant red really added a cool pop to the invite. We also happened to go when Paper Source released a few new colors. Teal is one of my favorite colors, and their new Peacock color is to die for. It’s so rich and sophisticated! I can’t wait to use it for another project! I also came across some new favorite fonts for this invite, too. Maybe it’s just me, but perusing fonts is addicting and I can get lost in them for hours!
Happy Almost Birthday, Yvett!

More Graduations… July 9, 2010
My baby sister, who I jokeĀ is perpetually 12 years old, just graduated high school. Oy vey… That sure does make me feel old. She’s practically my first baby. Even though I tortured her like the good big sis I am, I am also her 2nd mommy. I surprisingly, managed to hold it together during the ceremony. My mom and I only went through one tissue a piece! That’s gotta be some kind of record!
Here are the announcements that turned out superb, if I do say so myself, and thanks to the talents of Sheri Wade Photography for the senior pic session she did for my baby sis.
I love you very much and am SO beyond proud of you! I can’t wait to see what great things you do in the future.
Graduation Time! June 17, 2010
It’s that time of year! We have a high school graduation and an 8th grade promotion to attend within days of each other this month. New beginnings are in the air! I can’t believe I’m going to my sister’s high school graduation today. It’s hard to believe my baby sister isn’t such a baby anymore. I joke that she’s 12 years old, but she isn’t a kid anymore! When did that happen?! Anyways… I’ve been working on announcements for her and her boyfriend, who is basically my little brother now. Here’s what I whipped up for him:

It was our little guy’s first birthday, so we decided to celebrate in style… Disney style! Will loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so that was the theme we ran with. I made these invites just for the occasion. They turned out great, if I do say so myself… š

Lani’s Sprinkle January 19, 2010
Lani’s Sprinkle went off without a hitch. Everything looked great and the food was even better. It was an intimate group of 12 ladies, but I think that was perfect. We all got a chance to chat. I’m glad we got to steal Lani away from the east coast and her boys for a quick weekend getaway before her baby #2 arrives. I think she needed the break! š Thanks Sonny! And thanks Megan for being my cohost! You made this party planning a breeze!
It’s Sprinkle Time! December 30, 2009
I am hosting a baby shower for my bffĀ that is preggo with #2. It’s not a baby shower, per se, it’s a sprinkle. š I am co-hosting it and produced some extra fab invites for the occasion, if I do say so myself. I am loving the eggplant color right now. It’s really fashionable, I think. And paired with the copper/gold, its drop dead gorgeous. It’s going to be really great to see this palette come together at the party in a few weeks. Here are the invites:
Time to announce the baby! July 8, 2009
It took a little longer that I had hoped to get my little guy’s baby announcements out, but they have been printed, cut, assembled, and mailed! Here’s a look at how they came out. I’m really happy with them. It doesn’t hurt that he’s just so dang cute! The photos on the announcement were taken by the fabulous Sheri Wade.
MIA March 18, 2009
I have been MIA for a while. It’s been an interesting 9 months, but it’s slowly coming to a close. Here’s a vendor rave about Sheri (www.slwphotos.com) who was kind enough to take some maternity pics of us this passed Sunday. Here are the sneak peeks I’ve gotten from her so far.
I will be back in full swing soon. I have some fun new stuff to blog about,Ā but right now I just want to have this baby and get things situated before I get full swing back into the paper biz. Wish us luck and we’ll see you soon!
