Leather. Yep! Just a peek at one of the fab pieces we're putting together for what is sure to be an amazing fall wedding for Holly & Randy.
We designed a monogram turned it into a custom leather stamp ... then hand-stained leather {yes, my hands are completely stained! next time, gloves!} made into a monogram tag to adorn the front of the invitations.
Leather is such a great medium to work in! There are tons of stain colors available, tools, decorative stamps ... just some really fun stuff. I have such an appreciation for the artisans who work in this medium! Can't wait to experiment some more!!
More to share from this wedding in a few months ... keep visiting!

One of my favorite holiday designs last year was for the Hewitt Family. Their invitation suite was a three holiday greeting - holiday card, new address announcement and housewarming party invite all wrapped up into one.
Instead of traditional greens, reds and the like, we opted to used colors from their new ranch home - warm browns, antique golds, spicy curry yellow and fiery copper. To bring in the holiday feel - I hand glittered - uh - nearly a thousand little snowflakes. My house and studio were gilded to say the least. :)
The invitation suite was a 7x7 pocket fold, double matte family photo on the front panel, single matte holiday housewarming panel, gilded snowflakes, single matte photo of the girls, six layer invitation panel (yeoweee!), direction panel, accommodation panel, reply card, reply envelope and custom outside envelope. It was a flurry of work here the week before Christmas last year getting these babies ready for delivery.
The Hewitt's have become dear friends of mine and I'm looking forward to more special greetings & invites!!
Happy Holidays to all!!

Meet Megan and Peter. Their wedding took place in Angwin, California at Megan's uncles winery, Robert Foley Vineyards on August 9th, 2008. The day was captured in photography by the talented team of Artistic Imagery, Amber & Alan. If I could put all the photos they so expertly took - I would. The cellar photos are simply breathtaking.
If there is any couple I have worked with in the last 6 years that I connected with on just about every level - it was Megan & Peter. From their wedding to tattoos - I think we just about covered it all! Their vision was clean and crisp with a Rock-a-billy attitude.
Their invitation was a 5x7 panel design, double matte invitation of black linen and classic white - three layers all together, enclosures secured to the back with a bandwrap, grosgrain ribbon & monogram panel, directions, accommodation info and reply postcard. The table cards were 5x7 single matte in black linen, table name printed on classic white and double sided so that guests could see the table name from any direction. The thank you notes were printed with their custom monogram on classic white 4x5 notecards with matching classic white envelopes.
Thank you, Megan and Peter for trusting me and allowing me to share in your special day!
