Finished Wedding Invites

ell, all of the flowers have been cut and the invites printed. Address labels and stamps are the only thing separating these invitations from their rightful owners.

a Cover and a Card

Hitting the streets yesterday was my design for the April edition of Marketplace magazine. This magazine is affiliated with The Add Sheet, which also happens to be nominated for Small Business of 2010 by the Columbia, MO Chamber of Commerce. Along with the cover I designed the interior ad for Christian Fellowship School. Kind of a fun deal since it is my alma mater.

For the past month at Marketplace magazine I have been slowly redesigning their corporate identity. Here are their new business cards. Viola!

Re-De-sign

Recently I have been doing work for a local magazine helping them freshen up some of their ads. I thought it would be fun to post a few of my redesigns from the past couple weeks.

Betsy's Invites

The first invite was my original draft. The second invite is the final after revisions with the bride. This will slip into the lacy pocket shown in my previous post. so feminine. so cute!

June Wedding

Although we did have a surprise snow the first day of spring, I was still able to get into the warm weather spirit by working on these pretty pink spring wedding invitations. Cut paper and white calligraphy ink were all I needed to make les très jolies fleurs. I still have yet to design the type for the actual invite that will slide into these lacy pockets. My deadline is mid April. Stay tuned for the final product...

Let's Learn Embroidery

After doing a little dilly dally doodl'n, I thought the finished product looked like it needed to be embroidered. Framed by a sewing hoop. Can't you see it?? hmmm.....a new hobby! Now that get's my blood pumping. Rather than focus on finishing one of the hundred projects I have scattered around in various stages of completion, I think I'll just put them all on hold and learn something new. Anyone in the midwest want to teach me how to embroider? I suppose I could go to the library and get a book, but that steals half the fun of learning a new craft.

Now that I have embroidery on the brain I found Jenny Hart and Sera Waters. ooooo....ahhhh....lovely lovely. They seamlessly (pun somewhat intended) blend stitching with sketching. How can I resist?
