Purple elegance

A classy, elegant invitation for a classy, elegant springtime wedding.  Congratulations Shara and Chris!

Love Bug

I am so in love with sweet baby Reagan Mary! She is a perfect little cupid's baby born on Valentine's day. It is so adorable to watch proud parents Marie and Andrew hold her and just beam.  I am so happy for you two, congratulations on your little baby love bug!

I had the honor of making her baby announcements

Welcome to the world Reagan Mary!

As cute as a bug, as sweet as can 'bee' - baby shower

Oh how I love the Brown family.  They are so close to one another and they really know how to make people feel welcome and have a good time.  When Becky came to me and asked me if I would help her with her sister Abby's baby shower, I was over the moon delighted.  Abby is decorating her baby's room with little love bugs and bright happy colors.  So we decided to make her shower theme "As cute as a bug, as sweet as can 'bee!'"  Did I mention that the Browns know how to throw a party?

Its a girl!

I am so happy for you momma Abby!

Leslie and Jimmy save the date and Angela and Wade are getting married!

How adorable are Leslie and Jimmy? They are currently living in Colorado but are getting married at the beach.  So for their save the date they took a surfboard, bathing suits and other beach gear up a snow covered mountain to take pictures!  This is going to be a party… 

Angela and Wade wanted a beautiful damask print for their big day, with hints of hot pink and lime green.  They were such an easy going and enjoyable couple to work with  - congratulations you two! 

Baby Grant

Laura is a sweet, loving mom-to-be who happens to be amazing on the clarinet.  She is not only a wonderful player herself, she teaches others how to improve their skills.  Oh and did I mention that her husband Chris is in the President's Own Marine Band?  It looks like we are going to have a baby Mozart on our hands.  Congratulations Chris and Laura, I can't wait to meet baby boy Grant!!

Thank you notes for Laura

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

What do you get when you cross a beautiful pageant queen, girlie colors and all the freedom that comes with a high school graduation? Why a rockin party of course. And what do you need to throw a rockin party? A beautiful invitation. Happy graduation Brittney! The only advice I can give you? Wear sunscreen.
