Stationery Splurge

After too many years of not having my own personal letterpress stationery, I finally decided it was time to splurge.  I knew I wanted to incorporate my silhouette in lieu of my name and it had to be letterpress with a pop of gold foil, then finished with painted edges.  Drum roll, please...

Exclusively for Minted.

I just received my current issue of Martha Stewart Weddings and was thrilled to see a gold foil sample of my wedding invitation "Majestic" tucked into the Minted Ad.  Pick up a copy at your local store to see and feel it for yourself!

A New Year!

Well, my tardiness in posting has been for good reason.  My husband, daughter and I have moved into a new home!  It has been quite the project and I am still unpacking boxes.  I hope to post some pics in the near future.  In the meantime, I thought I would share a few images from a lovely gold foil wedding invitation.

Birthday Girl

I can't believe Maeve is already 2!  Seriously, where does the time go?  I challenged myself this year to create a small "classy" Elmo themed birthday party for my little Elmo loving daughter.  Decorating with pink, red and little hints of Elmo seemed to do the trick. 

Time to vote... please!

Voting is now open for the Minted Inspired Art Challenge!  I only had enough time to enter 1 submission titled "Unique Fishy".  If you like it, please vote for my design and your other favorites here.

An evening walk together.

After a few days of being away from my husband and daughter for the National Stationery Show in NYC, we were able to enjoy a wonderful evening walk together.  I've been so busy with wedding season, that I haven't had much time to truly enjoy these moments and take some new photos of my little Maeve.  Tonight just seemed like the perfect night!

Maeve's first ponytail!  I love that little curl!
