Kim & Marc's Invitation

I'm back! I'm officially working on designs for 2010 weddings and can't wait to show you what I've been up to. Back in October (has it been that long?!) I showed a sneak peek of a design for Kim & Marc. Kim wanted to use a dark purple ink, and somehow incorporate her love of whimsical harlequin designs with orchids. Here's what we came up with!





I'll be back with more photos as my 2010 weddings come back from the printer!

A new addition!

My apologies for the lack of posts lately... I've been a little preoccupied with a new addition to our family!


John and I welcomed Oliver into our lives on December 7th. He was 8 lbs., 12 oz and 21.25" long. He is such a good baby and we are so in love with him! I'll be back toward the end of January with photos of new work and more updates, so stay tuned. Until then, have a wonderful holiday season!

Sneak Peek!

Here's a little preview of a new invitation suite I'm working on using an orchid illustration... I'm loving it so far and the bride has great feedback and suggestions. I can't wait to finish it up and share the rest!

Molly & Greg's Save the Dates

I posted a sneak preview of a graphic being used for a Save the Date project and am so excited to share the final piece! Molly, the bride, is a family friend and just so happens to be an extremely talented artist (check out her stuff on Etsy! So cool). I was stoked when she hired me and said she wanted to draw the illustrations for her Save the Dates and invitations because I knew they would be amazing. I love the way these turned out and can't wait to start on the invites!

The Save the Dates are being sent in envelopes from Paper Source in the color "Night".

Look at that detail in the bird! So great.

Printed offset on Classic Crest linen paper. I LOVE this texture!

Min & Gateley's Invitations

The other day, I was scrolling through the posts at WeddingBeePro, and came across an entry called Lots of Goodies! by Melody of the Sweet and Saucy Shop. The first photo totally caught my attention and I absolutely loved the cake design. Two seconds later, I realized it looked familiar. Haven't I seen that picture somewhere? As I scroll down I realize it's the cake of one of my clients and included is a photograph of the monogram I designed for them used for their favors!

I was sitting by myself at home and said out loud, "Hey! That's my design! How cool." It was just so random, and very cool to see my work on someone else's website. Here's a shot of their invitation suite:


And a few photos from their wedding that I absolutely love (photographer is Sarah Holden Photography):

NACE Event Invitation

A few weeks ago, I was asked by Shawn from Event Team Entertainment if I'd be interested in designing an invitation for a kick-off event for the NACE (National Association of Catering Executives) chapter starting in Portland. I was really excited about this opportunity, not only to have my name on the invite as a sponsor of the event, but to actually be invited to it as well! I'm looking forward to meeting other event professionals in Portland and getting my name out there.

The invitation was to look modern & fresh, and to play off the space the event will be held (Departure, a restaurant at the nines Hotel). I used one of my favorite graphics for this invite and I think it came out well!
