Time To Get Back At It!

It feels like it has been forever since I updated this! Actually it has. Summer into Fall has been really busy, not just with invitation designing and client meetings but with family parties and travel. There are a lot of exciting things coming up with birthday invites, holiday cards and yes, more wedding invites so stay tuned!

Below is a story/project from this summer and have not had time to blog about, so here it is. One day this spring I received a phone call in regards to invitations. A few minutes into the phone call I realized this was not my run of the mill information call. The bride introduced herself as Lindsey and she said she had designed her own invitation and she need a way to have it printed. I explained to her that I normally do not do this as I design and print my own invitations but that I would be willing to look into it. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I have a design hand drawn by Lindsey in my inbox. It was beautiful. I spoke with her again and she had told me her color was grey. I told her I would clean and prepare her files for print. She had also told me she would like a textured paper and we decided on a felt finish. I had a lot of fun helping Lindsey with this project and it seems to be a growing trend and have had a few more calls in regards to doing something like this, but I can tell you it is not something I will be doing on a regular basis! So anyways here are the finished pieces take a look.
