Changed again!

We've changed our look again but this time it was our actual site!

We made it look like an invitation set with our current favorite color combo. Check it out for yourself!

The splash page is next as well as a few other additions that are in the works. This is an exciting time!

Happy Friday everyone!

Tamika & Mark

Tamika contacted me just last week to design a small, budget friendly, and completely rockin set of invitations. Her colors were a soft pink and sage green and she really liked the longer style invitations.

We came up with a long and thin flat card invitation (3-7/8"x9-1/4") with a metallic rose backing and sage green invitation layer. We kept most of the writing in a chocolate brown to lend some contrast and readability. The inserts were printed directly onto metallic rose card stock. And the finishing touch was a light rose Swarovski crystal at the end of their married initial, G.

Birthday Invitations

My parents have decided to host a birthday bash for me (I love them, they're so sweet) at their house and "hired" me to make my own invitations.  As odd as it is to have designed my own invites, I had a blast.

I decided to have fun with the colors and chose fuchsia & black; the backing is a glittery black card stock, the invitation layers are fuchsia card stock glued to both sides of the black backing, and the content is all in black.

For the envelopes, since it was such short notice I couldn't place an order online. After checking out Staples, it didn't seem worth it to spend extra money on colored envelopes (for far more than it costs online) when I had over sized ivory ones at home. Yes, they were bulk and not so pretty, but I printed a martini on the front along with the addresses, and a balloon on the back with the return address. They turned out great!

So here they are:

So far, everyone has loved them. What do you think?
