BAD BLOGGER!

UGH! I have been completely absent from this poor blog. I must admit that Facebook has taken my attention away from it. If you'd like to see more of my samples and what I've been up to fan me on facebook!

Groomzilla

We've all heard of Bridezilla. Well, Groomzilla is what you get when you design a wedding invitation for a groom that is also in the creative industry.

Drory and Marcee were great to work with and I teased Drory about being "Groomzilla". He had very defined ideas and knew what he wanted...and what he didn't want. I think the final design is really solid and suited Marcee and Drory's wine themed wedding perfectly. (Wine themed but not too grape like and not too vine like as requested by groomzilla himself) Drory had his hand in the graphics and also used his skills to draw up the map for the direction card. I must say, Drory draws a mean map. You're hired for maps Drory!

This wrap design has been my answer to the ever-so-popular pocket fold. It's a great way to be able to customize the actual wrap and keep all the important bits and pieces where they belong too.

Not just invites...

I've been busy,busy, busy with wedding season and things are finally slowing down a bit since all my brides and grooms are off celebrating their new lives together. That makes more time for the clients I have that aren't in the market for invitations.

This business card was for Sandy Taylor. She is a personal trainer and needed some marketing pieces for her new and quickly growing client base. Sandy specializes in training women and does private workout sessions in your home. She wanted her pieces to have a strong design but also be somewhat feminine. I even hired Sandy to whip me into shape. I'm sore just typing this.

HUGE thanks to Jenny Jimenez for sending me these great shots of Natalie and Jakes wedding. It's always great to get pictures from the couples I work with. It's even better when they hire great photographers! (and it doesn't hurt to throw in a picture of a baby either)

Custom Programs

In addition to the invitations and fancy cake, Natalie and Jake also had custom programs designed to complete their big day.

Custom Cakes

Well, it's not everyday that a graphic I create turns into a fancy dessert. Natalie and Jake had requested the graphic I designed for thier wedding invitations so that they could have it on their cake. Of all the interesting requests I have recieved this is definetely a first. I'm crazy about how it turned out!

Natalie & Jake

I heart Natalie and Jake! This photo doesn't quite do their wedding invitations justice but I have to say that they were REALLY fun to do! Jake knew he wanted something to hold everything together and Natalie had an idea of the graphic style they were looking for. All the pieces came together and I was able to design a small pocket to hold everything together and fit into a standard A2 envelope. I really like the smaller size and look forward to playing with the pocket concept more.
