Nautical Crab Baby Shower Invitation

One of my closest friends is having her first baby boy this summer. Since she her and her hubby live in Maryland (where he was born and raised), another girlfriend and I decided to host a "Baby Cocktail" with a Nautical/Crab theme to welcome the newest little guy of our group!

These invitations could not have been cuter and could definitely be used for a bridal shower or crab-themed summer BBQ, birthday party, etc!

Jamie Lynn's Custom Personal Blog Design

Jamie Lynn contacted me to refresh her blog design. She wanted a fresh, clean look and her only real requirement was that it match this color palette:

I loved the muted earth tones and thought a fun header image with coordinating sidebar labels along with a neutral background would really compliment and complete the look she was going for!

Luau Birthday Party

My daughter recently turned one and I knew I wanted to throw her a luau-inspired birthday party before she was even born. I created all the paper materials myself... The Invitations, food labels, stickers for decor, photo banner and gift tag labels for favors. I had a palm tree icon and specific color palette and fonts that I used throughout the whole suite so that everything coordinated perfectly. I loved the way everything turned out and it was such a fun celebration for my sweet girl!

And of course, a custom thank you note with a picture from the party!

Personalized Baby Stationery

I posted a picture of my son's personalized stationery on Instagram one day and almost immediately Amanda emailed me saying she wanted some for her little boy, Sloan. She mentioned the words "Chevron" and "Ombre" and I took her direction, added a twist of lime, and we had a winner!

Such a sweet idea for a new baby gift, first birthday, or shower! I mean, kiddos need personalized stationery too, right?! :)

Carnival First Birthday Invitations

I had so much fun working on these custom "Carnival" themed pieces for little Marco's first birthday! He is just the cutest little guy and I joke with his Mama that he's going to be my future Son-In-Law!

Amber wanted classic carnival colors for the invitation.

I also created a coordinating label that she stuck onto large lollipops as a favor for all their guests!

Such a fun party theme for a first birthday! Happy First Birthday, Marco!! :)

Shabby Chic First Birthday Invitation

I didn't realize how many kiddos are turning one this summer until all these first birthday invitations started coming out of the woodwork!

Mindi asked me to custom design a rustic "shabby chic" invitation for her princess Reagan who is turning one this month. It was so. much. fun. to play with graphics and fonts and make this invitation! It was more "artistic" than I usually go, but I had a blast and I hope Mindi (and Reagan!) love it as much as I do :)

Bible Verse Printables for The Christian Blonde

I have worked with Alexandra in the past and she contacted me again for custom Bible Verse printables that she wanted to offer her readers! I thought this was such a sweet idea and since she anticipated most of the printables going in nurserys or play rooms, we decided to do two "girl-themed" ones and two for boys.

Seriously, how cute?!

Our Love Nest Blog Custom Blog Design

My dear friend Pam is a long-time blogger and expecting her first little baby that I can't wait to just love all over! From writing about planning a wedding, newlywed life and going out with friends to what will quickly be diapers, bottles and all things baby, she asked me to freshen up her blog with a twist on what will soon be her new lifestyle.

We picked a light and trendy color palette that she loved for summer and added some custom social media icon buttons within easy sight and reach. The simple quatrefoil background was the icing on the cake! I love how clean and welcoming her new blog design is!

Where The Wild Things Are First Birthday Invitation

My friend Ashley had the cutest theme in mind for her little guy's first birthday... Where The Wild Things Are! SO different and unique, that of course he needed a custom invitation!

She took the most adorable picture of Mac wearing a little yellow crown and everything. I was able to find a similar font used in the book and used a birch tree image as inspiration for the backdrop. One of my favorite birthday invitations to date!

Happy 1st Birthday, Mac!

I Love You More Than Carrots Reviews Custom Blog Design

Ashley wanted a clean and simple look for her reviews blog. I did a play on her personal blog design so her readers would know they were "related" but gave it a bit of a lift with a clean linen background and an organized, fresh layout. Add a couple custom sidebar widgets and we were good to go!
