Kyleigh Valentine's Day

A little late on the last of the Valentine's Day postings.....but better late than never!  Asked Kyleigh the other weekend if I can take her photo and she responded "of course"....I'm sure that is going to change real soon the older she gets so I better take advantage.

A huge thank you to my amazing mom for making such cute leg warmers.  She also made a pair for Kennidie as well.....have to get the cousin besties together for a picture soon!

Also, created my 2nd project on the silhouette cameo...glitter red/black heart strand....oh the possibilities!  

Had to include these two pictures....digging into the archives, Kyleigh's first Valentine's Day at 5 months.

Valentine's Day #2 at 17 months...funny this is the same tutu!

Until St. Patty's Day!!

Marianne and Brian Save the Date

It is definitely the season for weddings and I love it!   While working on spring/summer formal invitations I was able to design and complete Marianne and Brian's Save the Date for their upcoming fall wedding.

Marianne was quick to decide on everything from the layout, photograph, ribbon, paper and font....we even added in a clear swarovski crystal between the date and the city to add an extra touch.

Before we know it, we will be collaborating on the invitations....until next time!

Loving this wedding season and the wonderful brides and grooms I've had the pleasure collaborating with thus far.  Can't wait to showcase all of the work in the next few months!

Two invitation deliveries tomorrow!  First stop is Chicago bound, 2nd stop Boston.....

Valentine's for Kyleigh

Busy, busy weekend.....in the midst of printing 3 different wedding invitations, finished Kyleigh's School Valentine's for her party this week.  Her school has a no sugar no preservative policy, so I just stick clear of food all together.....crayons are more like it. 

Illustrated a cute bee and used my silhouette cutter for the first time to create the heart shapes!  Hope the classmates enjoy:-)

Valentine's Day Card Box

For those that followed my last post, I dug deep into my Graphic Design archives to recreate a package design template for my daughters pre-school Valentine's Day party. I noticed a lot of the ideas on Pinterest that consisted of used cereal boxes etc, but I am terrible at wrapping things, especially with card stock paper.....so I though the best option would be for Kyleigh and I to create our own box!

Project success, I found a template online to help make the box cuts and folds.  From there I custom designed and illustrated patterns on all 4 sides of the box template, printed, scored, and cut.....

I typically don't share step by steps, but though this one would be fun for all to see!

Template:

1) Design printed, scored/folded and cut to the correct shape to custom create a milk carton.  Tools: ruler, hole punch, glue dots, bone folder, matte razor.

2) Next, started adding glue dots and attached the bottom of the box together for stability.

3)  Once the bottom and side was adhered, stood the box up to get ready to score and attach the top.

4)  Kyleigh helped me punch the 2 holes and pick out the ribbon color!  

5) And the finished product!  

Next, time to get Kyleigh's Valentine's Day cards ready!!!!
