TGIF! :-) The Callie...
A little old with a little new...this set has been letterpress printed twice before in slightly different ways. The "Callie" now makes its way to our beautiful flat-printed invitation line...
Online Store Preview: Falon Boarding Pass
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you are all having a splendid day.
Maybe I am wishing to be in a warm tropical location in choosing Falon's "boarding pass" save the dates. This set was really fun to design - it comes all tucked into a fun pocket with a tropical pattern - we have 7 other tropical patterns and colors to have fun with and a whole host of other fun papers.

Britten Letterpress
blind hit of peony flower with steel blue script
I will *never* forget when Sarah (Britten) and her mother came to pick up her invitations. It was perhaps one of the best days of my journey in invitation design thus far - I am sure you can imagine it just by seeing the beauty of the invitation. It truly brings chills remembering that day. Thank you, Sarah, for allowing me to be a part of it all...
Introducing..."Summer"
Summer - from the paperwhites collection
One of my favorites of the new line - would look amazing in any color. Shown here in geisha red with rain envelopes - Enjoy!
To launch our new line...a new post every day until the New Year!
To launch our new line of invitation designs...I will be posting a new post everyday until January 1st along with a photograph of some of our new invitations! Would love to hear feedback from anyone about the new designs and I may throw a few classics in there too...but lots of eye candy coming! Stay tuned.
What color was your prom dress?
So, it is funny as I start to finalize new designs for our new line of invitations launching New Years Day...it got me to thinking about color and how certain colors seem to repeat themselves for us girls. I may have to restrain myself when it comes to pink!
My prom dress was an icey pink color, jessica mclintock - I LOVE IT!
I worked very hard at my teenage fast food job (Chez' Hardays - aka Hardees) to afford to buy it back then! My mom brought it with her a few years ago on a visit. Maybe I should do a "trash the prom dress" photo! If I recall I couldn't quite get it zipped up, but who knows...the funny thing is I am still drawn to pink. Pink Pink Pink!
Blast from the past...with some cropping to protect the innocent...
Andrea on the other hand, is majorly into black and white and red. She was telling me the other week that HER prom dress was of course, black and white - no surprise! Of course, her wedding day also was full of black and white with a hint of red...
Maybe I will share with you my prom photos, maybe with some help from photoshop! Or I can throw my dress out and photograph it for you...stay tuned. :-)
But in the meantime, what color was YOUR prom dress and are you still "into" that color??
It would make my day to hear all about other prom dress colors and experiences!

Christmas Card 2008
Alas, my Christmas card is ready for mailing and I just had to share it! This year I had the amazingly talented silhouette artist, Karl Johnson (cutarts.com), cut the kids' silhouettes at the NC State Fair. I was able to scan and digitally trace the actual silhouettes so now they can be scaled with ease. I put them on our Christmas Card this year. It is printed on Stardream Crystal card stock in black ink - paired with a red envelope. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE silhouettes. I hope to do more with them in 2009. :-)
