Flutter Bug Birthday

"Garden" themed parties are very popular right now and are oh, so cute! What "Garden Party" is complete without a ladybug?! The design below is one of my favorite ladybug invitations! I love the traditional red ladybug, but decided to add a special touch by using pink! I hope you enjoy this design and I hope your next "Garden Party" is a huge success!

Time For A Celebration!

Make your next birthday celebration extra special by including a photo (or two, or three!) on the invitation. The name of this design is "Celebration Boy".  It features a blue, orange, and green color combination which is very popular right now and leaves many oppourtunities for decoration choices!  But don't feel like you have to pass this invitation up just because it doesn't match your theme - I am always happy to customize any invitation to fit your needs!

Blush and Bashful Baby Shower

This is such a fun and classic design. I actually used this design for a friend's baby shower invitations and she loved how her unborn daughter's name was used. Consider using the unborn child's name on your next baby shower invitation to add a special touch! The baby shower honoree is sure to love it!

Pretty in Pink!

When creating a custom design, I sometimes look into the photo that is provided for motivation.  This design is a perfect example of this!  You can see in this design, I tried to re-create the polka dot design and color scheme used in the photo.  What a sweet design for any little girl's birthday!  Or, change the color scheme and this could easily be used in a boy's birthday invitation or even a birth announcement!

Announce The Results!

You're pregnant and have just found out what you're having! CONGRATULATIONS! Don't let the excitement stop - send out a photo announcement! The photo announcement below is another one of my favorite designs (which is why it's in my blog!)

The picture would be easy to re-create: Simply have a friend take a picture of you holding your ultrasound pictures! Your friends and family will go wild when they find out and will call you as soon as they receive their announcement in the mail!

Has five years really passed?

Well, I planned for this blog to not only give a special look behind my designs, but to also serve as a place I could blog about my personal life! I just realized that I haven't done that yet! In my personal life, I have a very special event coming up - my son's FIFTH birthday! It feels so weird to say that he is turning FIVE! It's very exciting, but also sad for me because the time has passed by so quickly. My son is my world! He is my first and only child. He has amazed me in all ways possible in the five short years he has been in this world. It's so amazing how they steal your heart the day they are born!

In my opinion, the 5th birthday is a huge milestone so I want to make this birthday party extra special for him. We're planning a "surfing" theme, but it's kind of turning into a luau. I'm planning on making his cake again this year, but I'm stressing on what design to use. I definitely want it to match the invitation I designed for him (below). I'll be sure to post pics soon after the party for you to see!

Announcing An Angel...

Design Name:  Waverly Girl Birth Announcement
Color Scheme:  Rasberry Blush


Nothing in this world is as precious as a new born baby - especially if it's your own!  It's always such an honor to be asked to create a birth announcement.  It feels great to capture a new baby in a design that is as special and custom as they are!  This design is well-suited to announce a baby girl, but could also be modified to welcome a baby boy.  It's always been a favorite of mine!

Birthday Boy Bliss!

Design Name: Dumptruck Delight Boy
Color Scheme: Denim Blues and Orange


Wow - The birthday fun begins with the invitations and this design proves it! I love this design because it can easily be customized to match any theme. The dumptruck could be changed to a sailboat to match a nautical theme or maybe a train to match a railroad theme - the possibilities are endless!

"Pink and Green" is trendy...

Design Name: Pretty Petal Birthday Girl
Color Scheme: Pink and Green

I love the "Pink and Green" trend. It's such a fun color scheme and I couldn't wait to use it in a design. I decided to use it in a "Sweet 16" design, but any design can be customized to incorporate any age. I hope the "Pink and Green" trend is around for a while! Happy Friday!
