Family's Christmas Cards

Now that everyone has received them I can finally post the top secret cards!

Every year my mom's christmas cards are highly looked forward to by all that receive. So this year I presented an idea to her and it was chosen (first time ever YAY ME!) 

Of course we had to put them on the kraft paper after our coworkers looked so great on it, and matched envelopes with them.

We knew the picture probably wouldn't too great on the paper, 

so we opted to print them then taped them into the cards.

Abigail's Birthday Invites

A friends daughter needed birthday invites and knew the basis for what she wanted.

We just matched the colors to the party decor 

and BAM we had invites that were perfectly portraying for Miss Abigail's personality.

I was extremely honored to make them for her since I've known her since she was born.

Happy Birthday Abigail!!!

Christmas Cards

My coworkers decided instead of buying plain boring cards they asked me to design their cards this year and get something they not only liked but more personalized. 

Melissa wanted something that looked fun and festive and 

knew she wanted lights in strings and we came up with this together. 

(I've become quite obsessed with the kraft paper after seeing how great the colors looked on it.)

For Shawn's card his wife Morgan wanted a photo design 

since they got married earlier this year so they had to start the bar high. 

She knew what layout she wanted so we tweaked it to match her photo 

and to make everything fit with her witty saying (their last name is White).

With a thick gloss card stock paper they were a perfect pop with the minimal color she wanted.

Engagement Invites

So while we were on vacation on the cruise my brother proposed to his girlfriend!!! So exciting! 

So we came home and I had to do something, so myself and a family friend threw them an Engagement party, so OF COURSE I had to pull out all stops on the invites for them. They turned out to be a big hit with everyone and became the basis for our decorations for the party.

My brother is obsessed with batman so I just had to play on that!

I took them and made them a postcard so it was quicker and easier to get out in the little time we had. The backside had the comic thought/talk bubbles to match the feel of the front.

    

Of course I couldn't stop there I had to surprise them with name badges for the bridal party that not everyone would know. The badges is what I probably had the most fun with! And Nadia loved them which was most important.

  

 

Mr Black's Commitment shirts

The commitment shirts were a little different and edgy than the rest of the shirts. Commitment was about defining it on the shirt I can...I will was definetly a phrase for it. Once the phrase was decided I wanted the shirt to scream it when the students were wearing it. there were several different trials for this shirt and Commitment plastered across the front of the shirt was perfect. 

The shirt ended up being dark grey and was front and back.

Howell Equestrian Structures and Consulting

 Working on a business logo is always nice but getting to do the logo letterhead envelopes and business cards for the company is even better! Howell Equestrian Structures and Consulting was a great business client to add to my portfolio.

                                      

Mrs Borum Retirement Tshirt

A little while after my Aunt received her vacation shirt we were talking about my cousins last couple weeks of school and she was trying to fins a gift for the teacher it was her last year of teaching she decided to retire. So of course I offered my design services and made her a similar shirt to show all the kids and the teacher. The teacher loved it and my cousin was so excited to give his teacher this 'cool' gift that his 'wicked talented' cousin made and no one else was going to have (ego boost commence). I was so happy to make something she would always have and cherish her last year as a teacher.
