Our nest is full -- Birth Announcement Design

Kristin asked me to design the baby announcements for her 3rd son. She wanted to use "Our nest has grown" as the theme for these. Here's the finished design:

Some alternate designs I came up with: 

Photo Table Numbers & Vintage-Inspired Stationery

I worked with Jenny Orsini Events on some beautiful Lavender and Silver Stationery for one of their May Weddings. Ilke & Frans named their tables after cities that were important to them. They wanted to include a personal photo of each city as well as a description of it, so Jenny asked me to work my magic.

Each table number featured a lavender metallic tented base with a silver ribbon accent and a printed card on both sides.

The menus and place cards had more of a vintage design, using the same lavender metallic card bases with an off-white metallic printed layer:

Congratulations to Ilke & Frans, and thanks again Jenny!

Turtle invites

Kelly asked me to create invitations for her daughter's first birthday. She wanted to use a turtle theme and include some photos of the birthday girl. Here's what I came up with:

I also created a matching banner for the mantel:

We did a mini banner for the highchair, too:

And oval labels for the candy buffet favor bags!

Patriotic "firecracker" birth announcements

My friend Kristin asked me to design the birth announcements for her second son. She was due in early July and wanted to use "our little firecracker" as the theme for the announcements. Her son was born on the fourth of July and I had a lot of fun with these. The top two are the front & back of the designs she chose. 

Here's an alternate design which I really like as well:

Football Rookie's 1st Birthday

Sharon contacted me to see if I could design some football-themed first birthday invitations for her son. Her only requests were to put her son's head on the football player, and make it all Denver Broncos colors.

Here's what I came up with -- front and patterned back:

Photo Birth Announcements

I'm working on some first birthday invitations for one of my clients and wanted to share their birth announcements. We had some beautiful photos to choose from and had a lot of fun with these!

These were double sided 5x7 announcements, with a great vintage pink motif on the front and incorporated into the background as well.
