When my dear friend Margo asked me about designing woodland themed wedding invitations, I immediately got excited. What better way to say "we're getting married in a forest" than by printing the actual invite on wood!? We also created a map and a special details insert. Since they were having a very intimate wedding, they asked that the guests dress in their colors, as they were all honorary wedding party members. We added a fun little color wheel to guide the guests in the right direction. My favorite addition was not my idea (it was actually the groom's!). Margo and Brock included a different polaroid for each guest! Congrats Margo and Brock!
Sara and Kevin decided to have a honey themed wedding. I've known Sara for many years and she really is the epitome of sweet, so the theme was especially fitting. I loved this pretty color palette and nod to the honey bee. Congrats Sara and Kevin!
My dear friend threw her sweet little girl an "Audrey in Onederland" themed 1st birthday party. Janelle and Audrey are the cutest girly pair, so we included pinks, florals and girly touches. I'm hoping to share some details from the party...there were banners and food labels and a little month-by-month matching game!
I'm so honored to have had Spence's Birth announcements featured on Oh So Beautiful Paper. I'm always inspired by all the talented designers featured on their site so I'm flattered to be among so many greats. You can check out the feature here.
A few month ago I collaborated with my dear friends from Small Fry on an infographic for essential oils. We don't get sick often in our household but we've used essential oils for various illnesses and have been so happy with the results. You can learn much more about essential oils from the post on Small Fry.
So it's perfectly acceptable to share work from over 6 months ago right?! I sure hope so because that is really how behind I am! Last year I worked with Tana from Mom's Best to create pieces for the Hot Holiday Product Event. She wanted to use neon, gold and washi tape as the jumping off point for the party. I created numerous slides that ran on the website, invites, party signs, thank you cards and much more. Here are just some of the pieces that were used for the event!

When Brooke contacted me about birth announcements for her little guy Spence, I was excited. She wanted something modern and not too babyish. I presented her two options. The first being just a standard announcement and the second being what we came up with here. I love that the design itself is still clean and simple, yet all the little details make it something special. The navy envelopes and petal envelopes are from Paper Source. I think I want to use petal envelopes in everything I do from now on! They add the perfect touch of sweetness and whimsy.
As my saga always goes, I really wanted to get a house tour done before we left for the summer. But that never usually happens because things tend to get crazy the month before we leave. I did manage to sneak in a few photos the day before we left. I didn't get to Collier's room because he happened to be napping during the few minutes I had to run around and grab these. I plan on doing a full tour next fall, when I'm not quite as rushed and can really work on styling and taking nicer photos. But I thought I'd at least put a little sneak peek of the house as it is now! 
This logo is for Melissa Reibe, from Arkansas. I actually did her logo a few years back. She was ready for an update and this is what we came up with! Something modern, bright and fun, just like Melissa!
