A Couple New Projects

Here are two of my recent projects. The first is my daughter, Lucy's fourth birthday invitation. Typically, in my family, we just pick up the phone and call with the date and time of the party. Keep it easy. Keep it simple. Unfortunately, with my creative side, I usually try to make my kids' invitations. I fear the day I run out of time and have to settle for the phone call! Jeff always says I make things too hard on myself, but I enjoy creating things so to me, it's worth every minute of it!




Here is the invitation for my sister-in-law, Tricia's, baby shower. This is probably one of the cutest things I have done in a while. She wanted a book shower, if you're not familiar with the concept, it's simple: instead of attaching a card to the gift, each guest is asked to sign a greeting in a book to help start a library for the baby-to-be. I opted to go with the book theme and created a book style invitation. I used the "Golden Books" as a guide for the binding and the top logo. I created the stork in a race car which matches the bedding set they chose for baby Zack. Inside were four pages, each with a different piece of information: who the shower was for and who was hosting; date, time and place; explanation of the book shower concept and finally, where the parents were registered. It was a pretty big hit! I'm excited at how well it turned out despite a small printing issue....
