When my lovely client asked me to design shower invitations for a baby girl, I was thrilled. Then she told me the theme: “Princess Tea Party.” Yes, I was like a little kid on Christmas. My goal was to create a design that was soft, elegant and celebratory of all things baby girl, but not childish. About 150 photoshop layers later, the design was complete. A mix of typography, vintage tea cups, crowns and castles make this design fit for the lil’ princess to be.

Thank you Alex and congratulations to Deanna and Jeremy!

Every year, my fabulous friend and client hosts a lovely “Dear Friends” holiday party.  Creating the invitations for the event is always a treat, as Lisa and I could not have a more similar taste for design. This year, the invitations were printed on 110 lb. Crane lettra and paired with a dark grey, metallic envelope. As you will see, the design is perfectly suited for the event setting….Lisa’s divine, vintage-chic cottage home.

 

Also created for the party were signs labeling all of the yummy food…

 

And so I MUST share a few photos of Lisa’s swoon worthy, make you want to melt home. Every nook and cranny is filled with unique treasures styled in a way that only Lisa knows how. It is a sight to be seen. And then dream about later.

 

A few (of many) perfectly placed focal points in the living room

The details just go on forever…even in the kitchen.

And to top it off, there is an adorable chicken coup in the backyard. Need I say more?

 

Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Last week, I was really excited to begin decorating for the holidays, and then super disappointed when I found that the Christmas tree topper I made last year was in shambles. Almost completely destroyed and crushed from our move. Recover and conquer mode kicks in.  I had to make a new one!

I must say this time around it was much easier to make and turned out even prettier. Again, I only used materials from around my house and yard plus a few purchases from Dollar Tree, such as the eucalyptus leaves and gold dusted pine cones.

For the frame, I used an old lamp shade that I had in my garage. It worked so perfectly and is a strong, sturdy surface for all the goodies surrounding it. No more crushed tree toppers in my future.

Happy holidays everyone. What fun and crafty adventures do you have in the works?
