...and baby makes three {shower invitations}

Just finished these custom baby shower invitations. They are a spin off of one of my greeting cards. I really like how they turned out and I'll be adding them to my shop tomorrow. What do you think?

I'm so excited! To my surprise I found my Halloween Night party invitations on the front page of Etsy this morning. Totally made my day. :)

Thank you Etsy!!

Blossom Noir Wedding Suite

I have been blessed with three wedding orders. ALL AT ONCE! It's a lot of work, but I'm loving the challenge. All three brides have been wonderful to work with. Here is a glimpse at one set I'll be mailing out tomorrow...

Cooper's Dog.

Meet Cooper Giron. He is my son Nathan's best friend. Cooper is a sweet, fun loving, active, four-year-old boy with severe allergies. Any exposure to any form of nuts or oranges will send him into anaphylactic shock, which can lead to death in a matter of minutes. To prevent future occurances and potential death, Cooper's family would like a specially trained service dog that will protect Cooper by detecting minute traces of nuts and oranges. A service dog will help Cooper attend school without the worry of accidentally ingesting foods he is allergic to.

In order for Cooper's family to obtain a special service dog, they first need to raise over $10,000 to cover the costs of the specialized training the dog will undergo. Anyone can make a contribution to Cooper's Dog Fund at any Chase Bank (formally known as Washington Mutual Bank) care of Cooper Giron. For more information about Cooper and his allergies, visit his blog at http://www.coopersdog.blogspot.com/.

To do my part, I designed a special set of note cards that I will sell in my Etsy shop and my Main shop and will donate proceeds towards the funding of Cooper's Dog. Cooper and his family are very dear to me. I want to do whatever I can to raise awareness about Coopers severe allergies as well as make it possible for him to have his special dog.

Halloween. Already??

Here's a little bit of a sneak peak of what's coming to the shop...

A Couple's Shower {Damask}

Here is another custom order I just finished. I love the light blue with the rich chocolate envelopes. I think the size and length of the invitation gives it a classy and sophisticated feel.

Winter in August.

One of my favorite Etsy customers is getting married! Her wedding will be in January. I just finished making her save the date cards (110 of them!) and I love how they turned out. She wanted to use birch trees (in Russia, they represent good luck) so we incorporated them into the design. So with shades of blue and gray we came up with these.

They are printed on a thick, textured cardstock with coordinating envelopes. I am really happy with how they came out. I can't wait to get started on the wedding invitations and the RSVP cards. They will have the same "Winter Birch" theme.
