Nyla's Favor Tags

I had the pleasure of designing the favor tags for 3 year old Nyla! The theme for her party was "The Princess and the Frog", so I designed the tags with a princess crown and a little jewel embellishment. Hey, she calls herself a princess all of the time, so it's fitting! My sister baked the cookies (chocolate chip and snickerdoodle...yum!), and I dropped some M&M's at the bottom of each bag for a burst of color.

Sneak Peek...

I started a new venture, and I'm going to see where it takes me. Graphic design is my number one love, but hey, I can add new things to the roster! Here is a sneak peek...

More details to come :)

Packaging Love!

I came across the Annick Goutal website today and absolutely looooved the packaging! It gives me the feeling of being in love in a beautiful city on a mild fall evening

I'm a packaging freak by the way. Packaging is very important when you are selling a product, so the better packaging you have the better for your business. Think about it like this: If there were two products that were made of the same ingredients, were the same size, had the same quality and had the same cost, how would you decide which one to buy? For most people it would come down to the packaging. We're just vain like that I suppose? Or we just like to have nice stuff? At any rate, I have never heard of this company, but I am officially in love. Here's why...

Modern + Elegant = A Sweet Invitation

Hello out there. This is the latest invitation that I have completed. It is a booklet style invite with a band around it to keep it closed. The inside has a pocket which holds the rsvp and directions, and the physical invitation is on the opposite side. I hope you enjoy! Remember, if you or anyone you know has a special event coming up, send an email to Occasions@LrnMDesign.com to find out about our Event Branding!

Crafty Christmas II

Since I love crafting and cute things so much, I decided to recycle the unused Chinese take-out containers from the wedding and redecorate them as a Christmas treat box. I filled them with holiday cookies and candies...and I'm sure all recipient's dentists will thank me!

Wedding Invites

Next up are the wedding invites. The colors of our wedding were Espresso, Pool and Ivory with Lime green accents. I wanted our invitation to be different, and to be an accurate representation of me and my (then) fiancee. It fit us to a T, and was much loved by everyone.

Bridal Shower Invites

It has been way too long since my last post. I was in wedding planning mode during my blog hibernation...but now I am married and ready to continue showing this blog some love!

First up are my bridal shower invites. They were handmade with love! It was a lingerie shower with a healthy mix of naughty and nice. The colors du jour were black, grey and lavender. The outer paper was a very delicate material that reminded me of lace and fit in wonderfully with the lingerie theme. I sent them out in a black envelope and hand wrote each name and address with a silver pen to add a personal touch. I wanted the invites to mirror a sophisticated woman and I didn't want them to be too "girly". The outcome was a happy medium between the two and they were a hit!

Bridesmaids Cards

Yeah, I know, I haven't been keeping up with the blog. Well just to catch you up, I got engaged! Of course that brings up more design projects, but this time for myself! First things first, bridesmaids cards. Here are the designs that I sent out to my girls.

It's a Family Affair

This is my first post of the new year, yay to me! I spoke a few months back about creating a custom registration packet and logo for the Barlow-Divers Family Reunion, but I never posted the pictures of the completed work. Here they are~
