LoveLeaf Press

I first discovered LoveLeaf Press via seesaw designs. I mean what is there not to love...rich papers, letterpress, bookbinding, great design... This seems like a place I could go and visit and would never want to leave. Their work is truly beautiful, go check out their site for more!

recent work: alphabet invitations

Here is a few of the recent alphabet invitations that I have worked on. I love how my clients have chosen such fresh and fun color combinations. This has definitely, by far, been my best selling invitation. I originally had designed it for my SIL's baby shower and just put it in my etsy shop to see if anyone else would be interested in it. They are just too cute!

Moving announcements...

Here are our moving announcements that I designed. I wanted something simple and sweet that I could get out quickly. I did 2 versions, 1 with blue ink and orange envelopes and 1 with orange ink and blue envelopes. Of course, as soon as they were all done I had more ideas pop into my head of how to do them...but oh well. 

New from Linda & Harriett...

I am always blown away by the new work of Linda & Harriett. I am in LOVE with these new greetings: their signature brightly colored patterns, with the calligraphy work of Jenna Hein. Gorgeous!

***On a side note, I am so sad that I won't be at NSS this next week (I went last year and it was Amazing!) However, I am excited to see posts all over the blogosphere from those that are attending.

in progress...

So I'm working on our moving announcements right now (trying to distract myself from the all the stress of moving) and I cannot decide on what colors to go with. What do you all think?

Linda & Harriett: New Notepads

I love my Linda & Harriett moose notepad that I received for Christmas, but I have already used most of it up. I'm thinking that I need one of each of these new ones. The colors are so lovely. And I've been making tons of lists and plans for our new home.
