that time of year

I can't believe the holiday season is already creeping up on us. I am working on a bunch of exciting and new Christmas card templates for this upcoming holiday season so stayed tuned. Also, if you are interested in a custom designed Christmas card, please email me for information and pricing.

custom labels & invitation :: elephant party

Christy asked me to help her design an invitation as well as some accents for her son's 1st birthday. She came to me with the idea and I just went from there. I did water bottle labels, cupcake toppers, napkin ring labels, party hat labels, food labels, animal cracker labels, and a poster. She did the rest, and I LOVED seeing all of the pictures from the party. Everything turned out so cute together. Didn't she do a great job? I especially love the tablescape...so cute!

polka dot party

A helped my sister throw together a few little last minute party details for my niece's birthday. She had a polka dot pool party, and here a few designs I did.

crazies :: my fam

While uploading all of the pictures from my family beach week,

I came across this one that I had to share. I am obsessed.

I especially love that my oldest brother took out his false teeth.

Man we are a crazy group that's for sure.

loving this :: dotty wallpaper

Someday when we have our next child, my son and daughter will be sharing a room. I am always trying to find cute ideas for a gender neutral room that aren't too masculine for a little girl or too feminine for a little boy. When I saw this wallpaper, I fell in love. It's definitely going into my file for future use.

custom invitation :: fancy nancy

the fancy invitation we designed

the fancy decor and food

Chrissy wanted to throw her daughter a fancy nancy party without all of the trademark fancy nancy gear. She pulled it off remarkably. From fancy sandwiches to fancy ties for the boys and crowns for the girls. Check out more pictures of the party here.

vacation

Last week we went to my family's annual Beach Week. We spent the week together with my 5 siblings & their spouses, my 19 nieces & nephew, my parents, and Nammie (my grandma). So basically it was a house full of people...36 people to be exact. It was so much fun and I am missing my family like crazy. So if you have emailed and I haven't gotten back to you, I am catching up on everything today and tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!

diy: fabric garland

My friend Nicole, over at Me Oh My, and I had a crafting afternoon where we made these darling garlands. Nicole posted the DIY instructions over on her blog. Go check it out.

custom card & label :: wonderland party

Hailey threw an amazing Alice in Wonderland themed party for her little girl, and she asked me to design a few of the elements. Head over to her blog to check out the rest of the amazing details.

custom invitations & more: bronson's baptism

Bronson's mom wanted a fun, colorful invitation for his baptism. We did a fun invitation, address labels, and stationary for him to send thank you notes. I love the way they turned out.

guest blogger :: moi via style files

Head on over to Style Files to see my guest post. Caitlin asked me to name 5 of my fav things, and I had so much fun doing it. Thanks Cait for thinking of me, and thank you for the sweet things you said...you really are too kind!

a tiny party :: reinvented

For more pictures of my Scarlett's tiny party, go here.

Last October, for my baby girl's 1st birthday, I threw a tiny party. Last week, I was checking my google reader and saw that Caroline was also throwing her daughter a tiny party and she gave a very sweet shout out to my girl's celebration almost a year ago. Yesterday, she posted the rest of the pictures from the big day, and I love her take on the idea. So clean and simple and oh so cute.

Be sure to check out all of the details, here, here, and here.

party blog :: sara's party perfect

I am obsessed with party blog's, but Sara's Party Perfect is my absolute fav. The style of the website alone is enough to make you fall in love. Also, be sure to check out Sara's house. Her kitchen is absolute perfection...and how about those front doors?

LOVE 21 :: Maternity

Have you seen the Forever21 Maternity collection? It is so cheap and the leggings and skinny jeans look pretty fabulous. Also, I am in LOVE with this peach shirt.

*Does anybody recognize this model? I swear she is an actress that I have seen in a movie recently. Am I crazy?*

POST EDIT: My sister-in-law informed me that this is the girl from Alvin and The Chipmunks.

Obviously I would recognize her because my boy Bennett is OBSESSED with those movies. Good eye Shelly!

custom header, button & more :: style files

My good friend Caitlin over at Caitlin Wilson Design Style Files, came to me and asked me to help her re-vamp her blog. So we made a header, a few different buttons, and framed a picture of the blogger and her darling Livi to match.

If you haven't checked it out, go there now. You will not regret it, I promise.

I also made a matching frame for her to do her story boards on for her clients. Leave it to the interior designer in her to want everything coordinating. I love the colors she chose and the simplicity of it all. In addition to this I designed a matching file with her pricing for her to send to clients. Thanks again Cait for trusting me to help you!
