Mother's Day Gift Certificate {give her a Dotmine planner}

The lovely ladies from Dotmine, Lisa & Sarah,  asked me to design a fun gift certificate for Mother's Day; and what fun I had!

I imagined a sweet little store welcoming you into a warm and delightful space. Once inside you would fall in love with all the dreamy planners and have a difficult time selecting the perfect planner for your mother. Lisa and Sarah would then suggest the perfect alternative - a gift certificate!  Now your mom could pick out her perfect, perfect planner and start making plans.

 

So, don't wait a minute longer, click on the front door and purchase the perfect gift for your wonderful mom! She will love it, I promise!

 

Orange and Turquoise ~ Delicious!

Squeeze a little

                                                                            ...into your life!

It will stimulate your senses and boost your creativity. Pair it with a beautiful shade of turquoise to recharge your spirit.

That is what I call a perfect color partnership!

Forty and Fabulous ~ Custom Party Invitations

My very fabulous friend is turning forty and I wanted to design the perfect invitation for her swanky and stylish birthday soiree. Since she is probably the most chic friend I have and the one whom I call when I'm having a fashion crisis - it was imporatant to me that they were perfect!

My inspiration was drawn from her affection for vintage jewelry, chandeliers, leopard print and fabulous shoes. {did I mention that her cosmos are beyond compare?}

The invitation will have a beautiful black linen backing card, maybe a few well placed gems, then slipped into the matching envelope with a custom envelope liner, mailing label and postage stamp.  

A party not to be missed!

It is snowing again!!!

I'm trying to remain positive, happy, sane, warm and wear something other than a turtle neck sweater. But, seriously, it is snowing in Michigan, again!  (insert whine) Now,  you are probably worrying yourself sick on how will I overcome this crazy seasonal set back?

To be honest, I'm not quite sure, but, here are a few things I'm considering:

    Apply more bronzer - spray on tan - book a flight to the nearest island - get a tall tropical drink with an umbrella.

{ the carnival, a carousel and sweet romance}

Since meeting photographer, Nicole Ladonne last May, I have become a big fan of her beautiful work. Not only is she a wonderful photographer, but she also possesses the creative sensibilities of a stylist. I knew she would be the perfect person to photograph my latest custom invitations and new designs. 

So, how would you like a  little peek through Nicole's camera lens? A little carnival merrymaking & romance perhaps? Well, this  fun, flirty and stylish collaboration between Nicole, Amanda Freeman of Bliss Events, and  Meant to be Sent paper goods was featured on the crazy popular wedding blog, Style Me Pretty. 

 

 

...now for just a little taste of cotton candy.
