Coming Soon - Combination Baby Announcement and Christmas Card!

I am love, love, loving this project! Mama Mandy is expecting her little one end of November / early December and has asked that I do modern Christmas themed Baby Announcement that she's going to send as the family Christmas card this year.

I worked on the roughs tonight and can't wait to share this one - it's going to be hard to wait for baby Jack to get here so I can share his announcement!

New Design for moi - X-Mas Card

Well, if you've looked at the "about me" part of my website you know that I pull "double duty" - I'm a teacher by day and a graphic designer in my spare time (for now at least!). So, when I have a few spare moments, I try to get some stuff done for myself. Tonight I designed the back side to our Christmas card for this year.

Credit for the original idea goes to Erin Blair with PhotoVamp. She shared this idea when she made it for herself last year, and I thought it was adorable! Unfortunately (well, not really - I guess unfortunate for my card design last year and not much else!), I was a little busy last December... getting married... so I didn't have time to put this together for myself.

I've whited out some personal information just for safety's sake...


If you explore Erin's website, you'll find one of my bridal photos - she did my makeup for my wedding!

P.S. Erin - if you see this and want me to take it down, let me know - I'll be glad to do so!

Another New Baby Announcement!

Mr. Jaeger (how awesome is that name?!) made his big debut in July, and mama Danielle commissioned me to make him an announcement that reflected the nautical theme of his nursery. I think it turned out super cute! :-) (last name changed to protect the sea-faring!)

Wedding Map

Marie and Kyle are married and I can now release their wedding map into the portfolio! Check it out:

New: Baby Announcement!

I had mentioned I was working on this baby announcement back in August - It's been done for awhile, but we had to wait for baby to get her and for Mama to get the perfect photo!

Check out this cutie's welcome to the world card (last name has been changed to protect the adorable!)

Coming Soon - A Wedding Set!

This project is close to home - my 40-something Brother-in-Law is *finally* getting married (for the first time!). As part of my wedding gift to him and his bride-to-be, I'm designing Save-the-Dates, Invitations, Programs - the whole kit and kaboodle! :-)

Watch the blog for updates! Congrats Robert & Lisa!

Coming Soon - Wedding Monogram

It's been a while since I've added a new monogram, but one is finally on it's way! :-) I'm working for a chic NYC bride, so expect some fun things in the near future!
