April Design Recap

April was a pretty busy design month - but most of my designs are still "in process" - i'm working on a wedding coming up THIS weekend (congrats ashley & chazz) and a graduation announcement going out in the mail THIS week (congrats anna garcia, MD) - but I can't post pictures of either of those until the invitees seet hem first...SO...for today...I bring you a scaled back version of my April - including a bridal shower, a business card, and a team logo and remind you that there is more to come SOONLY! OH, and you can ALWAYS take a peek at what's up in my design world by checking out my business blog. First up is the French inspired Bridal Shower Soiree hosted by Kirsten Lockhart for her niece Ashley Saine who is VERY SOON to be Mrs. Ashley Wilson! This bridal shower was probably one of the biggest events I've done to date. It included an invitation (with address labels and return address seals, OF COURSE) coordinating thank you notes for the bride-to-be, placecards, centerpieces, favor tags, gift tags, and a variety of other little pieces that brought the entire shower together. I wasn't there to see it in person, but from what I've heard, it was quite the affair. Next I bring you the business cards of my dear friend Amber McGaughey. Amber lives in the greater San Luis Obispo area and is running a little event planning business. She is extraordinarily visioned when it comes to weddings and would be a GREAT hire if you're looking for a little help on your big day (visit her blog style::thrifted to check her out!). Ambs is also working at Pottery Barn and had the opportunity to host their booth at a show recently and needed some cards last minute...so we whipped something up and she already booked a wedding! YES! i love it when designs sell!! Finally I bring you the logo design for "hearts on fire" a team of independent demonstrators for Gold Canyon. Lynne came to see me a few weeks ago and had a fresh vision for her business team. She really gave me all the pieces to the puzzle and I just put them together. She LOVES the new logo and her team does too!

The best part of my job is UNDOUBTEDLY providing people with things they use and love! Being a part of the big moments in people's lives is incredible!

What a talent you are!! How do I find your design blog? I'd love to check it out. You're living my dream, by the way. I always wanted to get involved with design, but it never happened. Great work, friend! :)
