Simple elegance
Hi all! To round out 2010, i wanted to share an invitation from the infamous date of 10/10/10. I absolutely adored working with Laura and had so much fun with all the details of her wedding! The invitation inspiration came from her details consisting of a simply elegant affair at the Lake George Club. Using a combination of the rustic details, mixed with gold and silver accents and all of the detail that the club has to offer – we choose to use lots of flourishes and antique inspired details. The final design was layers of lettepressed gold and blush inks onto thick cotton paper and finished off with gold calligraphy on the outer envelopes. All of the pieces were held together with a complimentary blush colored paper with blind debossed names and their wedding date.
A sweet note
There is simply nothing like a personalized letterpress note to send a sweet hello to loved ones! I love the look of this final design, with the strip of navy blue knocked out to white, it forces the white name to become raised and gives an embossed look! The final results are so sweet.
A Grand Event
Good morning!
I have been anxious to share this project with you. I think it was completed in record time and was an utter whirlwind, but so much fun along the way! Remember the invitation i designed for an event last week? As the event quickly approached, i was asked to design a program for the 1,200 guests that would be attending a holiday concert in honor of Samuel Heffner. However, this was to be no ordinary program. In talking with my amazing contacts at RPI, they wanted to incorporate the fact that he designed the Heffner Alumni House. What better way to do that, then to use a custom die-cut of the outline of the building and illustrate the detailing of the windows? The challenge was fun and exciting and after adding some wreaths and holiday topiaries, it was all set! On the inside of the program was a pocket that held a sweet package of (3) 6″ square programs for the evening. The design was a hit, and i was so honored to be part of such a special event. I’ll have to share some additional photos from the evening when they are back from the photographers. The design on the invitation was used throughout the building, where no detail was forgotten! Kudos to the staff at RPI for putting on such an event!
Happy December!

It’s a cupcake party!
So what happens when you get asked by super sassy Alisha and Luke of Clark + Walker to design fun invites for their daughter’s 6th birthday? I’ll tell you! It becomes a collision of cute, colorful and a dash of sparkle! Their daughter Lillie is cute as a button and just as creative. This is a special birthday for her as she was a Thanksgiving baby and Luke and Alisha planned a super cool cupcake decorating party! {uhm.. can i go too}? The result was a spin off directions on how to decorate a cupcake!
The invitation itself is a separate insert inside the petal fold enclosure. Each invitation is adorned on the outside with the initial of each guest. {insert puffy, glittery letters = FUN}! And to complete the look, how can you not have a custom cupcake stamp?
Happy 6th Birthday Lillie! I hope your day is great!
Happy November 1st!
I hope everyone had an awesome and fun-filled Halloween weekend! I can’t believe this is the 11th desktop of the year! Wow, time sure does fly.
This desktop was actually designed by my fabulous intern Nicole. I will be sharing her story soon, but will start off by saying how much fun she has been. Creative, fun, and a go-getter! She jumped at the chance to design this month’s calendar. I love how it includes some important days this month.
