Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays from my family to yours!!

Hope that 2009 brings you happiness and blessings!!

Catching up!!

So again it has been quite a while since I have posted but I need to deliver the finished products before posting them. I am very excited about these designs. I said before that I was busy with Holiday cards and baby announcements. I delivered the last design tonight so I can finally catch up.

Here are the Holiday cards that I did for my friend Michelle, my mom and sister.

These are the two baby announcements that I just finished. The designs have been done for a while but the babies had to be born before I could finlize them. I am very excited about having the opportunity to help announce these two baby boys.

This design was for my friend Lindsay. We go back a long way. Our moms went to college together so we always saw pictures of each other in Christmas cards. Then by chance we became sorority sisters in Kappa Alpha Theta when we attended college. This is the announcement for her first born Brody. She came to me with an idea that she liked and we went from there.

The second design was for my best friend Sarah announcing their first born Will. We decided that we would do a announcement/Christmas card combo. I was very excited to play with a few ideas that I had had. I gave her a couple of options and this is the one she selected. I am really pleased with the turnout.

Sending warm Holiday wishes from my family to yours. Stay tuned for some exciting designs that I am working on.

It has been way too long...........

It has been a little over a month since my last post. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth and I can't say that I haven't been designing. I just can't post all of what I have been doing lately because they are not fully finished. I have been busy with birth announcements and holiday cards. Two of the birth announcements that I have been working on were/are being designed before the baby arrives so that we could just insert a picture and the birth information and hit print. A couple of the holiday cards I am working on are finished but not delivered yet so I am holding out posting those until they are out of my hands.

So for now I have one of each to share.

This is Grant Thomas Moore. This little boy is the son of a good friend of my husbands. I was really excited to work with them but even more excited about his name. Grant is my brother-in-law's name and Thomas is my husbands name so we joke that the newest addition to the Moore family is named after our family.

This design was for a good friend that was so excited about my collection that we worked up a few proofs to help decide which design she liked best and which design complimented their picture. I think this was a great choice. I love the way the design works with the colors in their photo. Enjoy and check back soon. I have some fun designs to show!!

what's been keeping me busy........

Here are my latest designs.

This is a design that is part of my Belly Sillouette Collection. I have about 4 different designs using this sillouette. This one works for baby boys and girls.

This is for a shower that is taking place at a Sushi Restaurant in Downtown Omaha. They were designed to go with the shower's Asian theme.

Lucy is turning 2 at the end of October. She is having an Elmo themed party. These were really fun!!

Little Boys and Little Girls

Sarah and Jeff are having a baby boy and Dance Diva Payton is turning 4.

designs for friends at work........

Here are a couple of new designs that I did for some co-workers (at my real job). The first is a bridal invitation I did for a friend and co-worker that is getting married September 20th. I hosted a shower along with two other ladies for her at work.

The second design was for another friend and co-worker. Her sister gave birth to a little boy on September 11th. Amy thought it would be fun to give her sister announcments as a gift. This is what we came up with for the Greer family.

Holiday Designs

I know that it is only September but I am working on my Holiday Collection for the coming holiday season. Stay tuned to see this years designs.......

Twins

My friends Alice and Mike we blessed twice this May when they adopted two beautiful girls Sophie and Grace. They are absolutely adorable. As part of my baby gift to them I gave them a gift certificate to DBS to use as they wanted. Well........here are their announcements.

Final Product

Here are images of the two programs I just finished. I don't have a good set up yet to take product pictures so the images don't really give them justice.

As Promised..............

This has been a fairly busy summer for wedding programs. I have now designed three in the last month and a half. A friend of the McIntyre's saw their programs and contacted me about designing for them. This was super fun because I had just finished some new graphics that I thought were perfect for their programs. This is the monogram that we used. I will post pictures of the finished product soon.
I designed the third set of programs for my friend Meagan. I am so excited for her and can't wait to see her walk down the eisle. Tom and I will be making the trip out to Denver for their wedding August 16th. Here are the different monogram options I gave them. Stay tuned for the finished product to see which one they picked.

Minnesota

I promise that my next posts will be designs. I have about 4 different projects that I am currently working on that will be finished in the next couple of weeks. Until then I wanted to share a little of my Minnesota vacation. Enjoy....................
