Ya'll Come Back Now

We love it when we have repeater custom orders. It makes us feel like a distant relative or family friend that gets to catch up every so often and hear what's happening in our clients' lives. More often than not it's a birthday milestone or a new baby that we get to celebrate and it makes us feel privileged to be called to do it time and time again for them.

We hit a new record this past week with a repeat customer. It was the third time we were creating a baby shower invitation for her. But what made it even more special was that the baby shower was for herself! The client's mom was helping with the party details, but Tracie wanted to make sure she we created the invitations. So of course we had to pull out the big guns to make sure her invitation was above and beyond her expectations.

We were told the baby's nursery had creams and browns with touches of pink and we could let our imaginations run wild with the design. The result was this little ditty- girly, graphic flowers with a lovely fabric and stitching detail at the bottom of the invite:

 

We had originally thought of using pink seersucker fabric for the bottom portion of the card, but were so glad we decided to switch it up last minute for the cream & pink stripe pictured above. It made the design feel a tad more classic and refined.  

We think Tracie will be pleased with the finished product. (If she hasn't seen the spoiler alert picture on Facebook already. Sorry Tracie!)

It's Baby Season

Wow. I know two women that have just had babies and four women that are due in September. Seems like babies are popping up everywhere and that means more business has been headed our way :) We recently completed two baby showers and are currently working on two more birth announcements. The baby showers were for a boy and a girl, so it was really fun creating different ideas for each party. The client for the baby girl shower just wanted something simple and cute, while the client for the baby boy shower wanted the theme to be sporty. The mom is a HUGE UGA fan, so of course we had to incorporate that into the invite.

Baby girl shower: fresh and cute.

Baby boy shower: for the sports fanatic.

Dogwood Festival

So the Dogwood Festival is this weekend and I live right by the park. I love the fact that festival season is starting and I'm lucky to be in the middle of it all, but I HATE the fact that people are super when it comes to my on-street parking. I've put up cones before to deter people from parking in front of our house while the festival is going on, but people have moved our cones to park there and even worse have stolen our dog leash when I put it up as a rope.

To calm myself from all the madness that is about to occur tomorrow, I have decided to take some lovely pictures of the pretty flowers around my neighborhood. I hope to use some of these pics for future stationary or inspiration on a new project.
