Bringing your party all together with a "<em>theme</em>" is the best way to make your next celebration a success! In my opinion, every milestone in life is worth a great party and spending a little extra time to make everything "<em>match</em>" can definitely make a good party <strong>GREAT</strong>! Most people agree that a celebration begins with the invitation! The invitation you send to your guests will not only give the first impression for your party but it will also set the mood for the celebration. Matching every aspect of your party makes you seem "<em>instantly creative</em>" and definitely makes a lasting impression! People love to be a part of a great party so we'd love to help you match your invitations to your "<em>theme</em>". Just send us a photo of what you have purchased (plates, decorations, napkins, etc.) and we'll do our best to create a one-of-a-kind, matching design that you and your guests will <strong>LOVE</strong> (while honoring all copyright regulations, <em>of course</em>!)</span> <br />

I included two versions of this design to illustrate how simple it is to revise a design to match your preference. The color combinations you could combine are endless!

To make this blog post extra special, I decided to plan a birthday party around this design! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><p><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="color: #663300; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I fell in love with the Pirate Party Sandwiches below and I'm sure your party guests will, too! Making them would be a breeze! After sandwiches, your birthday boy can "blow the candles out" and enjoy his Pirate Themed Birthday Cake!

Including a photo not only adds a special touch, but also allows the Announcement/Invitation to become a keepsake for many years to come. The photo used in the Engagement Announcement below "pops" against the simple blues used in the design. This design has a "fresh" feel and is sure to let your friends and family know that you are ready to celebrate your upcoming nuptials in style! The colors used in the design below can easily be customized to coordinate with the color scheme of your choice.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #663300; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week, one of my very best friends became engaged! I'm looking forward to creating a special Engagement Announcement for the two of them. Look for pictures to be posted soon of the design! Until then, hope you have a great Monday!</span></div><br />

The design below was definitely designed with the Big Sister in mind. I love it's elegant, yet simple, style! It's delightfully girly, but with a change of colors it could transform into an announcement fit for a little prince! Hope you enjoy this design and have a wonderful Friday!</span></div><br />

My niece is turning three and my nephew is turning five but their birthdays are less than one week apart so she is planning a DOUBLE birthday party! And we all know that DOUBLE birthday parties are DOUBLE the FUN! The theme combination is "Ballerina" (for my niece and the girls) and "Hunting" (for my nephew and the boys). She gave me an idea of how she would like the invitation to look and here is what I came up with for the first draft (below).<br />
<br />
Planning a double party is not only fun - it is also very economical! Check your calendars to see if you have somebody special that you could have a DOUBLE party with! It will not only be fun for your guests, but it will also be great for your checkbook!<br />

A close friend of mine told me that she is signing Announcing Moments up for a booth at the school's Fall Festival! She is on the PTA board at my son's school and is over the vendors for the festival. She didn't ask me, she <em>TOLD</em> me - which is very motivating and encouraging! The problem is, the website is not ready. When I told her that, she responded with, "Well, you've got less then two months then!"... So, the deadline is SET and the grand opening of </span><span style="color: #ed145b; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">AnnouncingMoments.com</span><span style="color: #663300; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> will be <b>OCTOBER 1, 2009</b>! I can't believe it! Announcing Moments will finally have a website! I've been working towards this day since I first began creating invitations and announcements over two years ago! </span></div><span style="color: #663300; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #663300; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I'm looking forward to finishing the website, advertising, and decorating my very first "Fall Festival Booth!"... Hopefully, this festival will become a tradition for Announcing Moments! The booth will be 10x10 in size - I'd love to hear your ideas of how I should decorate it!</span></div>Announcing Momentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15151094503695216482noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127320509282800430.post-61402172709886259612009-08-10T18:44:00.002-05:002009-08-20T19:25:49.655-05:00First Day of School!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #663300; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am officially the mom of a KINDEGARTENER! My son started "Big Boy" school today! I'm still blown away at how big he has gotten! He was VERY excited that the first day of school had finally come. My husband and I walked him to his room. He didn't cry, but boy did I! They were happy tears - I'm just so happy to have such a handsome and brave little boy! I can't wait to see what this school year brings. I'm so proud of him already and it's only the first day!</span></div><p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #663300; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also volunteered to be the Room Mom of his class.

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!</span></div><br />

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!</span><br />

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!)</span><span style="color: #663300;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #663300; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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!</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><p><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSpbn3zSOZhKOh3g0jNnYN6waidxXN9i2vYCUBs-RfxBuCrh29SIPpL5cYHnBgFfIFCWpJxER8FSpdCXb-tXhQp43h-Y-11_DLgszvNQeI_TjTpT4VAX4Gr-PQsNV-dtMnAwBRx_cWWuQ/s400/Oh+Boy+Pregnancy+Announcement.jpg" zj="true" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #663300;">Design Name: </span> <span style="color: #ed145b;">Oh Boy Pregnancy Announcement</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #663300;">Color Scheme: Turquoise and Cocoa</span></div>Announcing Momentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15151094503695216482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127320509282800430.post-84073223298252882492009-07-12T18:13:00.001-05:002009-08-20T21:39:13.959-05:00Has five years really passed?<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#663300;">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!</span><br /></div><p><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="color:#663300;"></span></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#663300;">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!</span></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVNOgXXiebM3NlP_nFFOXb7xeQxVvpKgs6gOPClwYAfKm8aGNfPdQy4vW0BuZ014RsjKmwrMXpwwCmxqOyCi-28r0slRNygDJyuGDoWIVAun2DuqIIJnmMC0_HlSo5KsYo3gRStXWg3q4/s400/Gage's+Birthday+Invite.jpg" border="0" sj="true" /></div>Announcing Momentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15151094503695216482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127320509282800430.post-33498352774771911192009-07-10T07:41:00.000-05:002009-08-20T17:22:59.397-05:00Announcing An Angel...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKcX2gplb4Tm9JrFDX18wEpcnPSPfL0Ga5WXAabUK2rPuJA5JSBdpBYbUG1FuQY_pmC-7B5a-f6ciaitaPVpfmdl9zhUgFCZTfDOq1663FlqvHTle5ChkyNWYDJC9-Nsxoo4jYTwLeTfg/s400/Waverly+Girl+Announcement.jpg" xj="true" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #663300; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Design Name: </span><span style="color: #ed145b; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Waverly Girl Birth Announcement</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #663300; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Color Scheme: Rasberry Blush</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><br />

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!</span></div>Announcing Momentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15151094503695216482noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127320509282800430.post-47975665795854113732009-07-05T10:10:00.000-05:002009-08-20T17:22:29.747-05:00Birthday Boy Bliss!<div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353765613994020082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 290px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdd_JUvgKyozh27al-jLCO1qjzo3pJovIccYkj1GqqOS8p_XPzK20JK5NhTRSJDTWBymyUgqsauvqOzIRMjkOZfegzjn-11ryVSx-xBbUlVvQ6XBLKjVx_cs60mv0RBYKIkgrvTM1Lhig/s400/Striped+Birthday+Boy.jpg" border="0" /> <span style="color:#663300;">Design Name:</span><span style="color:#ed145b;"> Dumptruck Delight Boy</span><br />

<span style="color: #663300;">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! </span><br />

My passion is creating photo invitations, announcements, holiday cards, and other stationery. Hopefully one day I'll be able to turn this hobby into a successful business, but until then I wanted to capture my hobby within a blog - </span><a href="http://announcingmoments.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#ed145b;">announcingmoments.blogspot.com</span></a><span style="color:#663300;">!</span></p></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#663300;"><p><span style="color:#663300;">I started this blog several months ago, but wanted to wait until my business had "officially" opened to start posting. Well, that hasn't happened yet and I can't wait any longer! Within this blog I hope to be able to meet new people and hopefully even meet other mommies who share my passion of creating things!</span> </p></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"><p><span style="color:#663300;">I'm in the process of designing what will hopefully in the near future be a source of income - </span><a href="http://announcingmoments.com/"><span style="color:#ed145b;">announcingmoments.com</span></a><span style="color:#663300;"><span style="color:#663300;">. I'm working diligently to open my website to the public and can't wait until the day when I can actually make a profit with my hobby.</span></p></span></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#663300;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><p></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:#663300;">I'm self taught in all areas of graphic design and website development and know nothing about the "world of business". By following my blog you can not only witness as I continue to "learn the ropes" of designing, but you can also follow the process of opening a business. The "future" customer is my main source of motivation so I would be pleased to see your comments and have you follow my blog! Wish me luck - it's sure to be a long road!</span></p></span></span></div>Announcing Momentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15151094503695216482noreply@blogger.com0
