Wedding Invitation - Katie

Something blue... these invitations were designed for a good friend of mine who I've known since kindergarten, Katie (and Scott). They had their wedding on April Fools day of all days! It was perfect weather and we had a great time at their reception!

Wedding Invitation - Sarah

Zach & Sarah wanted their wedding invitations feature their engagement photo. This invitation was very cool and fun to design with the different layers and textures! I also designed their programs, table numbers and name cards to match.

Wedding Invitation - Stephanie

This invitation was designed for my good friend Stephanie (and her husband Andy). She wanted to match her invitations to her bridesmaid dresses which were sage in color. Keeping the design simple, made the black and white graphics really stand out. If I remember right... she had planned on having all white roses, but something with her order was mixed up and she received a few pink that created the altar bouquets. I think the colors complimented each other perfectly.

Wedding Invitation - Concept

I created this as a concept design for a cousin's wedding.
I like it, and just wanted to share it with you.

Graduation Party Invitations



Graduation always call for a party! Here are a few simple design's that I've worked on that clients have stuck in mail or handed out to their classmates.

Quincy's 3rd Birthday Party

How fun is this!?!? My girlfriend Beth wanted to be able to email out an invitation to her son’s third birthday… We thought about Evite, but there just isn't room for a cute picture. So I came up with a jpg file that she could email to her guests. She had taken some photo’s of her son at a “Ride-in-the-Digger’s” event and I used one of them to create this email-able invitation.

Lauren's 5th Birthday Party

Celebrating with a splash! One of my girlfriends threw an underwater theme birthday party for her daughter. I designed the invites to be mounted on deep blue cardstock and the fish floated on the top of the invitation to give it a 3-D effect.

Florin Family Holiday Greetings


My cousin Kristin got me started on designing holiday invitations. This one was the first!!! She shot a bunch of images from a summer vacation and wanted to put them all on a holiday greeting. This is what I came up with and they were pleased at how it turned out!

Here is 2007's greeting. It’s so fun to see how the girls change over the years. The girls said they felt like “models” when I sent them the final design. Too cute!

And... 2008's. Pink, pink, pink! Who knew that a holiday card would look so good in PINK. This shot makes me want to go on vacation!!!





Fay Family Holiday Greeting

I know… I know… it’s not even close to December, but I wanted to start putting up some designs that I worked on last year… Here’s a holiday greeting that was designed for my friends The Fay Family. They had family portraits taken by a professional photographer and sent me good shot’s to come up with something creative for their 2008 Holiday Greeting. What cute boys!!!

Welcome To My Blog!

Welcome to my new blog!!! I’ve got so much to share with you! I’ve been trying to find the perfect way to showcase my invitations and announcements and I think this is a great fit. Now I can blog about each project, how the ideas were conceived and executed, and how the finished product looks. Bear with me these first few weeks, I’m a beginner at blogging and there may be some hiccup’s along the way.

Enjoy and come back soon! - Liz
