In the Studio

In November, I started to freak out because the phone stopped ringing! I had been working on invitations pretty steadily since January, and then it just stopped. I was totally unprepared for the down time... BUT it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I had finished graduate school in October and I (unbeknown'st to me) needed a break. Fast forward to January - the phone and email requests are pouring in and I feel so much better about the direction the business is heading in. I've done a few quick Save the Date sets, and I've just delivered the third major job of the season! It may not sound too impressive, but I have about 20 more in the works for May, June, and July brides. So folks, hold on to your hats! Wait until you see what's coming. The brides that I have been working with are so unique and have some amazing ideas.

In the mean time, here's a peek at the season so far:

Melinda and Clayton - This one is near and dear to my heart as it was my first big Etsy sale. Melinda chose an invitation with a vellum overlay in champagne and navy. I used the design from the overlay to make some pretty incredible place cards as well.

Stefani and Nathan - I think that this was the nicest, coolest couple I have so far! Their colors are chocolate and Tiffany blue. After 3 years this color combo is still going strong. I LOVE this design!

Jennifer and Javier - I think that this invitation is so cool! It's a program style invitation that includes all of the pertinent information on the back cover. The bride really wanted to eliminate the amount of inserts that her guests would receive, and so the only thing included was an rsvp. I love the polka dot ribbon on this - even though it took a bazillion years to get here and caused a ton of unnecessary stress. The invitation is really based on her whimsical cake design. Her wedding in not until August, but she has already promised the pics! I can't wait!
