Here's a little banner just whipped up this past week for one of my brides from 2007! She is throwing a baby shower for one of her girlfriends this weekend.

Super-cute banner for baby Carson! Nell gave me complete freedom within the color palette of chocolate & blues. I had some fun mixing solids and patterns of stripes, polka dots and plaid. Added in some fun shapes between the letters of ovals, squares and some chunky stars.

I hope it's a hit at the shower!!

Banner Pricing

$45 for the first 5 letters, additional $3.50 per letter thereafter

The News-worthy Christening Invitation in pink, pink and pink! Previously I posted this invitation style in champagne and brown for baby Mason {read original post here}. I think it's interesting to see how color can really alter the tone & overall feeling of the invitation.

This one was for baby Isabella who is the daughter of one of my previous wedding invitation clients. And if memory serves me right ... we did pinks for mama Manuela's wedding invite! :)

Congratulations {again!} Reina Family!!

Love, love, love how this baby announcement for the Hammar family came together!! Mama Hammar wanted an announcement for their latest addition that took a whimsical play on their last name.

We kept the materials simple with a thin single matte announcement layered on a metallic champagne cardstock, a little hand-glittering in gold on the "H" for just a touch of sparkle and some bold graphics to set it all off.

Love how they feel a touch circus-y with a dash of old town hardware store tossed in there.

Ohhh, happy weekend ... more eye candy tomorrow!

Project 2 of 2 from yesterday!  Utter cuteness achieved with these honey inspired baby shower invites!  Andrea {new mom to be} and Jamie {my hair stylist at Ooh, La, La Salon & Day Spa in Rocklin & hostess with the mostess}, wanted something super-cute, girly invitation - incorporating black, pinks, polka dots and left the rest of the details up to me.  Loooove that!

We started off thinking "honey" - since new baby Kaydence's room is Winnie the Pooh inspired and then took off in a bee direction to incorporate touches of black.  Kaydence's middle name is Rose so to play off that I added a few little roses here and there.  Add in some sticky sweet wording, buzzing bees, fuzzy glitter, ribbon and the adorable little invite was born. 

Looking forward to sharing more papery for the shower soon ... favor tags, banner & more.

Soooo, what did you do last night??  Here's what 1 venti vanilla latte {at 9pm,}, 2 diet pepsi's {at midnight and 1am respectively} and a whole lotta pent-up creativity helped me accomplish last night.

Two cute {baby related} jobs needed to get out the door early today.  As a wife and mother to one little rambunctious 4 year old it is tough to find enough hours in the day to get everything on my to do list done - well done right anyway.  So, I get up at 5am daily to get 2 solid hours of work before everyone rises, there are 2 days a week where I have an additional 3 hours while the little one is at preschool, 1 solid all day workday when the hubby is home, a good 2 hours at night when the little one goes nite-nite and often that is just not enough.  Twice this week, I pulled all nighters to get my clients their uber-fabulous stationery into their hot little hands.  

Pictured above is what 50 baby announcements looks like all neatly stacked for drying.  Double matting, photo, ribbon, hand glittering, a crystal and a lot of time, patience and love went into these babies.  More pics of The Chiesa Family's baby announcements to come.

Up next } Job 2 of 2 from last night BUZZ-Worthy baby shower invites ...

Love 'em, love 'em, love 'em!  This baby shower invitation was for my good friends, (first time mom-to-be) Jacqueline and (grandma-to-be) Pamela this abso-fricken-lutely adorable invitation was a tad over the top - but after all that's how we roll.  This is what happens when I'm set free to create as I please.  Tee, hee, hee.  

After a little brainstorming session for a shower theme that was a little different from the ordinary - we settled on an Alice in Wonderland inspired "Un-birthday Party" theme.  The invitations would be whimsical, story book-ish and set the perfect tone for the grand soiree.  

A bright pink box, roughly tied ribbons, antique gold accents, all highlighted with pinks/limey green/mustard yellow/coral-y orange and tiffany blue throughout.  Adorable!  It's a little hard to see from the pics, but the boxes were lined with bright green moss.  And a sparkly little butterfly to top it all off.

These babies just went out to guests and I am loving hearing about all their comments!  Expect a post towards the end of August sharing pics from the party.
