ticket save-the-date

here's another custom design I'm working on.

even more custom designs!

I've been doing custom designs LIKE CRAZY lately. A couple days ago I finished up two of them, went to dinner, and came home only to discover two more bespoke designs had been purchased from my shop! I'm so very excited but at the same time, I'm feeling the stress. I have to say though that I'm coping with it better than last year (so far, anyway)

These are a continuation of the designs I posted earlier, here. 

You may have to click to see the enlarged version to get an appreciation for the detail in these designs.  The client wanted something mostly text/typography based, which can be extra especially challenging. I love the way these turned out. I'm so grateful for the opportunities I get through doing custom design, I'm learning so much and I can literally feel myself getting better at what I do... 

right now, I'm working on a bespoke design and attempting to incorporate the following:

california poppies

california quail

woodgrain or trees

succulents

bluegrass music

it's going to be a blast. :)

recent custom design

hello! quickly updating. Here's my latest design-- the client chose the first one, which is also my favorite as well! Thinking I may sell a few of these in my shop. I love how the beehive design turned out, too.

What I'm working on today

just a quick post this evening before I head to Olive Garden for a nice dinner. Here's what I've been working on lately. I really love how all of these designs are developing.

this is a design based off of a"Rockabilly" theme. I totally love it, especially on ivory paper.




this is a save-the-date I'm working on for a custom design. It's mostly typography/text based. with hints of country western. I'm also designing a pear monogram to match.

Happy 2010

Unfortunately my first official post of the new year is going to be rather boring. My schedule is quickly becoming crowded with invitation orders! Exciting but stressful, because wedding season leaves me barely any personal time. 

I've been wanting to announce some very exciting news (maybe not for the people who read this blog, but for me, it's the best thing that's happened to my business since inception)

I got a new printer! And let me tell you, this is not just any printer. Not only is it 20 times faster than my inkjet printer, I now have the capability to print double-sided and to print on colored papers! I kept meaning to take a picture of it in all it's glory, but I've been so busy I haven't had time. I think I will name her Bertha (she's pretty hefty)

Hopefully I'll be able to continue posting on a daily basis, but most likely not. I'm going to continue to post my bespoke designs. I'm working on one now that I'm really excited to share.
