Fall is in the air.

I can't believe Halloween is around the corner.
I must take a minute for a shout out to myself!!
I have halloween costume anxiety.
See this post from last halloween.

That said - my kids are all outfitted and ready to go for Halloween, and the calendar still reads SEPTEMBER.
That's right ladies and gentleman.
And . . . guess what  . . . you might want to sit down for this . . . our WHOLE family might just coordinate.
Can you believe the Ellingson's are prepared for something?
This is a historic day for us.

Ok - enough about my life, check out this Halloween party invitation I designed for a client.
Why are stripes so appealing?
Enjoy your Halloween party Michelle!

Size: 5x7
Paper Type: Art Watercolor
Cost: $1.30/card

Baby Boy Alvord

My friend Courtney is throwing a baby shower for our mutual friend Kathryn and she asked me to design the announcement

Yellow & Gray are clearly in!

Everyone is asking for those colors.

I'm not complaining though - they look great together and make cute designs!

Courtney had gotten some great fabric from our friend Sally (the gal behind the etsy shop Tuft Love Fabric & the blog Abode-Casa-Home).  It was a Chevron pattern in a golden yellow/gray.  She's using it as the table runner at the shower and wanted the invite to coordinate.  Here's a terrible pic of from Courtney's phone . . . but you get the idea.

So - here's the finished product!

Size: 4x6

Paper Type: Art Watercolor

Cost: $1.10/card

She's also having cake 'pops' and different types of gourmet 'pop'corn in cute glass jars at the shower and wanted framed art with the words • she's ready to 'pop' •  I designed this for her frame . . . 

If you have a theme or idea e-mail me and let's custom make a card that works for your event!

STATIONERY GIVEAWAY WINNER!!

We have a winner!

Out of 72 total entries (including duplicates for all you facebook fans) . . . number 25 wins!

And, in my handy little excel spreadsheet where I listed the entries number 25 was . . . 

She was a facebook entrant and she shared the link on facebook!
The extra entries made it happen Windee!  

She chose the "green stripe" on facebook.
We'll see if she sticks with that choice when she claims her prize!


Stay tuned for another holiday giveaway in the next few weeks!

Yes.  I said HOLIDAY - it's September and we are already knee deep in Holiday designs/orders over here!

Mary Ann

It's our first recycled card!
It was a fun "recycle" too because we made a BOY baby announcement into a GIRL announcement!
What a sweet baby girl you have!

If you're in Seattle, she'd be worth looking into for newborn pictures!

Paige Elizabeth

Congrats to the Hardy family on baby #2!

What a precious girl she is.

Allison and I were sorority sisters in college, so it was fun to hear from her again.

She's still a hardcore Missouri Tiger fan, and so she wanted to tie that into her announcement.

She wanted to work tiger stripes into a grey/yellow color scheme, and I think they turned out cute!

A perfect announcement for a future Tiger fan!

Size:  5x5

Paper Type:  Linen

Cost: $1.30/card

Allison also had me edit the picture that she snapped of her little girl to give it a little boost, so I included the before and after below so you have an idea of what the $5 fee for picture editing can get you!

You don't necessarily have to spend big bucks on a professional photographer to send out a baby announcement! 

**click on image to enlarge and see detail**

Thanks again for trusting me to do an announcement for Paige!

Pancakes & Pajamas

What a fun birthday party idea!

I knew immediately what I wanted to do on the card when I heard the theme.

I had so much fun making the pancake graphic for the card.

Size:  5x5

Paper Type:  Linen

Cost:  $1.30/card

I hope Noah had a wonderful birthday!

Thanks to Kristine the blogger behind Attend for the referral.

Who doesn't love weddings.

I loved the classic style that Emily chose for this announcement.

She has great taste.

She had a separate insert for those that were invited to the wedding dinner.

We did it in a gorgeous grass green color.

Congrats to a beautiful couple.

I hope your day was wonderful.

I love to recycle

If you see a design that you love, let's recycle it and make it your own!

The design fee would depend on how much you wanted to change the already printed card design.
If the only changes were personalizing the name/dates/etc. then there would be no design fee.
If other changes are wanted the design fee would vary, contact me for quotes.

Just a few of the many "recycleable" designs:
