Tis the season to be busy...

I am used to being busy with Holiday cards this time of year but I have also been extremely busy with other invites as well.  Here are the designs I have been doing for the last month.

Playing Catch Up!!

I am playing catchup with the designs I have done over the last three months plus. I have been busy being a mommy and loving it so I haven't had a lot of extra time to design or document the designs that I have done. Here they are........

Anniversary Invitation

Logos for Nebraska Furniture Mart's Wellness Program

Payton is 5!! Remember her 4th Birthday invites? Look Here!

Birthday Time.........

It's been a while since I have blogged about my current designs. I have been busy with birthday invites, baby announcements, baby shower invites, and wedding invites. SO for now, here are the birthday invites that I finished.

For Gavin's 5th birthday he is having a Super Squad Party!!

Suprise Linda!!

Ethan is ONE!!

My nephew Ethan turned 1 today!! I can't believe that it has been an entire year. I can remember the day he was born as if it were yesterday. It was such an awesome experience to be able to be a part of his birth. Anyway - I designed the invitations for his birthday party that we had on Valentine's Day.

It was such a fun time!! My friend Wendy has a cake business called Sweetie P's so we asked her to make a cake to go with the John Deere theme. It was awesome. Thanks Wendy!!

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.
Here are their designs.

Birthday Time!!

I have two new birthday invitations to share. The first is for a high school friend's little boy Breckan. He turns one on August 11th. Nicki is really good about updating Breckan's website so I have watched him grow via the internet. I am hoping to meet him at my 10 year reunion in July.

The second is for my friend Megan's daughter McKenna. I did McKenna's first birthday invitations and for the longest time they were one of my favorites. I think these are one of my new favorites. They were really fun to create. I had some new flowers that I hadn't been able to use yet so this invite was perfect for them. The final product really came together with the flower embellishment that I added to each of them. Below are a couple of photos that show the variation.

more designs to share........

My mom turned 60 this year and made a comment that came back to bite her. She has some really wonderful friends that she made sure to celebrate their birthdays with over the years. Some of these celebrations were a little bigger than others but never the less she did something big or little to wish them Happy Birthday. I said that she had better watch because they would get her back. She said "I am sure that they will get a card or something little or maybe take me out to dinner but nothing too big". I decided that we needed to celebrate her 60th big so Beth and I planned a Surprise party for her. We, along with around 60 of her friends and family got her good.
This is my niece Ayla.....she is 17 months now but better late than never.

Lindsey was throwing her friend Kiera a Lingerie Shower and bachelorette party. She was one of my first and is now one of my best clients.
It has been the year of 50th's. Along with Wendy's parents turning 50 so did Nicole's parents and Shannon's mother-in-law. Here are their invites.

Sharing My Designs

I have been meaning to do this for a while now but it has been on the bottom of my never ending lists of things to do. I have been thinking about it for a while now but I am in the process of looking at a business plan to take Designed by Sabrina to a full time business rather than the part-time business it is today. This will more than likely be a few years from now but I am starting the wheels of motion. I have revamped my logo, I am in the process of revamping my website and I am starting to blog my most recent designs. Although these are not all of my designs or even all of my most recent designs, it is a start. So.....Enjoy!!



I love surprise parties and I love old photos. This is an invite that captured both. Ron and Mary celebrated their 50th birthdays and the 30th wedding anniversary. Wendy and Trevor Fitch and Kalin Hicks planned a surprise party for them.






This was a baby shower announcement for our friends Annie and Sam Neal. Their baby girl is due April 6th.


Every year my mom gives her fellow teachers little gifts for Christmas. For the last two years I have designed "from the desk of" note cards for her gifts. This is this years design.


Shannon's little brother Brian is getting married to a really awesome girl Sarah. Shannon and Josh are throwing a shower. They decided that they wanted it to be a sports theme so what would be more perfect for an invite than a ticket.


Lastly, here are a couple of my Christmas designs for this year.
