They feature an abstract flower design with an eyelet embellishment in the center. Of course, the set wouldn't be complete without a coordinating envelope liner using the same deep navy flower motif.Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07154494237987985770noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014812590934990027.post-3547962247762072012010-06-16T10:18:00.000-07:002010-06-16T10:56:18.335-07:00Custom Photo Book: Father's Day Present<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi48ugVfVVCjl0-244E6Cv4bW-ODWGCwEv99WsVGx_YEvVLVLR8REaexRemYz21ZzyMSSxnrT3puwIVp-XRwpLLl0oWlMfnjrDUaFVsGYQnmlbrwPvCNvdvP14YzYpS9k1d_4Ljkh27pN9J/s1600/IMG_2609.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi48ugVfVVCjl0-244E6Cv4bW-ODWGCwEv99WsVGx_YEvVLVLR8REaexRemYz21ZzyMSSxnrT3puwIVp-XRwpLLl0oWlMfnjrDUaFVsGYQnmlbrwPvCNvdvP14YzYpS9k1d_4Ljkh27pN9J/s400/IMG_2609.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483423622767027666" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimViV8xQzurAQ_C7Kc5lzyfzVrU8qDB9gCgakQ3A6dEY3aaukEIETe-jnnrcNUJrUX3lbN84SriY9swOgjb7JO5zKgjHk7wt09jFG_QS4GtRxwfLBHWnmxSPb02VGh_JV3ezz_rcY9gpmB/s1600/IMG_2609.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;text-decoration: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: none;"><br /></span></span></div></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEculRR7ksw1wwPFcp7lKT0kZg_TW4GZLFw_sS4X9vqCTz98rNZ66LEqGQwcu_e-Zr7J3NKoA8rcswmHHpfd_XASmhur3kMV0YBc9-fBVzZdQUfTeG0AIBEOXENNFS30E80oxecbe7y5Vh/s1600/IMG_2612.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEculRR7ksw1wwPFcp7lKT0kZg_TW4GZLFw_sS4X9vqCTz98rNZ66LEqGQwcu_e-Zr7J3NKoA8rcswmHHpfd_XASmhur3kMV0YBc9-fBVzZdQUfTeG0AIBEOXENNFS30E80oxecbe7y5Vh/s400/IMG_2612.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483423607229431538" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7YefjNFviBHS1s2wDig40UlBwG7gJQwuQ769Dkm8KKP6eJLYGiXDli8dFiNEkzv89zQNFVzZAGmhONkRq-YqzIf66uIZlbpsxNh6C8dhabmozW7TOnEPvU6tHyeWBVw5QwC_TVL34kkKo/s1600/IMG_2611.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7YefjNFviBHS1s2wDig40UlBwG7gJQwuQ769Dkm8KKP6eJLYGiXDli8dFiNEkzv89zQNFVzZAGmhONkRq-YqzIf66uIZlbpsxNh6C8dhabmozW7TOnEPvU6tHyeWBVw5QwC_TVL34kkKo/s400/IMG_2611.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483423581804916690" /></a><br /><div>Working on this custom photo book was such a joy for two reasons: the adorable little girl it features and the beautiful photography by Amy Squires that captures her joy.

For this design challenge photo shoot, she created the concept of a couple that loves camping, but still wants a pretty wedding.

I can't wait to see the professional pictures. Kauai is already so beautiful, and I'm sure the Princeville Resort is equally as exquisite, and it just happens to be taking place on my birthday. We were lucky enough to contribute a few little pieces to that beauty: menus, hanging programs, escort cards, favor donation tags, and table numbers. Perhaps the most important are the escort cards, which not only show guests where they're seated, but each guest's meal choice is identified with a different symbol. The palm leaf signified a vegetarian dish, a flower for chicken, and a fish for fish of course. This is a budget friendly idea when doing a seated plate because it eliminates the need for place cards, while still serving a purpose to the wait staff.</div><br /><br /><div></div><div>Thanks again Jessica, and congratulations to you and your growing family. </div></div></div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07154494237987985770noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014812590934990027.post-75580102318506481492010-05-24T06:00:00.000-07:002010-05-24T06:00:11.663-07:00Tree Horoscope Accordion Programs<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTmEAIzNvQHlTuIhXDoCXjdEDksu8ujX6nirmMKWdt5T4TIO5vgQeksC0yTtf5O3pvI8mhuJvR53CCDd-vmsy-bKhgaoJQ05JWOhb8MjcZEEq8Eq3lTtIlGfpxF7yMwGulCY8khecbGugv/s1600/accordion+program+destinatin+wedding+pink+tan.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474632648746149906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTmEAIzNvQHlTuIhXDoCXjdEDksu8ujX6nirmMKWdt5T4TIO5vgQeksC0yTtf5O3pvI8mhuJvR53CCDd-vmsy-bKhgaoJQ05JWOhb8MjcZEEq8Eq3lTtIlGfpxF7yMwGulCY8khecbGugv/s400/accordion+program+destinatin+wedding+pink+tan.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqGuNM5wONdleDf5tyYXlc21CqvH1j5a71a9n6UWhJbSU-D1ABjBRmyqj6c_-_U-fkcsGjoTVDydrzHzE9A3nUDm_V-torXmeioftKyY9i4gV7K5T46Bq9W2U58fZ52nu0Ryx-GiX8zO1p/s1600/accordion+program+destinatin+wedding+pink+tan-1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 284px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474632645248500546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqGuNM5wONdleDf5tyYXlc21CqvH1j5a71a9n6UWhJbSU-D1ABjBRmyqj6c_-_U-fkcsGjoTVDydrzHzE9A3nUDm_V-torXmeioftKyY9i4gV7K5T46Bq9W2U58fZ52nu0Ryx-GiX8zO1p/s400/accordion+program+destinatin+wedding+pink+tan-1.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgviOGX_a2EQJqshhs6Rm-K0dy7RJbb2dV4AI2G50DT_WAMOx6obwlvcHHDtwVS1sT5aoRlsASQwRrm8rZKiAYidING1JHZVtpDLL-4wgv12Fq2vy9YGkZj0_OP1GcrJEhLHWS1oGgf618y/s1600/accordion+program+destinatin+wedding+pink+tan-2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 305px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474632636927700994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgviOGX_a2EQJqshhs6Rm-K0dy7RJbb2dV4AI2G50DT_WAMOx6obwlvcHHDtwVS1sT5aoRlsASQwRrm8rZKiAYidING1JHZVtpDLL-4wgv12Fq2vy9YGkZj0_OP1GcrJEhLHWS1oGgf618y/s400/accordion+program+destinatin+wedding+pink+tan-2.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7cl6yDxFYvSipBN3PeetjZwo7M9NyoLwZ48q97i61mcSqFjG87-7QasztIcEPGraeDZVt0Uww9oYfSnjqfjicE6kRu9AavMsT3qwQz14tJrEOQHkbKFOoV-14HAdRcFW0yD_-nz8ncXfT/s1600/accordion+program+destinatin+wedding+pink+tan-3.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474632626020771234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7cl6yDxFYvSipBN3PeetjZwo7M9NyoLwZ48q97i61mcSqFjG87-7QasztIcEPGraeDZVt0Uww9oYfSnjqfjicE6kRu9AavMsT3qwQz14tJrEOQHkbKFOoV-14HAdRcFW0yD_-nz8ncXfT/s400/accordion+program+destinatin+wedding+pink+tan-3.JPG" /></a><br /><div>This sweet bride was the guest at one of my previous client's weddings and fell in love with the programs. So much in love, that we started working on them a good nine months before the wedding. I love brides who plan early. </div><div><br />The traditional accordion folded programs are enhanced with a stitched paper pocket that hold a foldout tree horoscope. Your guests look up their birthday and corresponding tree and it gives them their supposed personality traits. The original bride who used these found it on Martha Stewart weddings, but we were able to modify the design to fit with all the other program wording. </div><div></div><br /><div>In case you were wondering, I'm a hornbeam tree, which has the qualities "good taste, not egotistical, looks for kindness and acknowledgement, makes life as comfortable as possible, and mistrusts most people." </div></div></div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07154494237987985770noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014812590934990027.post-19059245102677123612010-05-23T14:26:00.001-07:002010-05-23T14:36:54.261-07:00A Growing Family's Baby Shower: San Diego Invitations<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXOOIMxs9tHhJRUftf1p4N_Ku9NA9k8tisTlltL7JHLPjZSM2qV2AzFBtRP83STbefxzdU5l6cJByIVk4C4EuaqE2byWLzDw1WAgGW31SkzjLW4DE-quGEo40X6sYphOANZA9Vvn-rwkkI/s1600/growing+family+tree+baby+shower+invitations.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474581381897801730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXOOIMxs9tHhJRUftf1p4N_Ku9NA9k8tisTlltL7JHLPjZSM2qV2AzFBtRP83STbefxzdU5l6cJByIVk4C4EuaqE2byWLzDw1WAgGW31SkzjLW4DE-quGEo40X6sYphOANZA9Vvn-rwkkI/s400/growing+family+tree+baby+shower+invitations.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiZATlXQdlfMlUTBJlXRsP4sM2fAIPuKzSsGN48W1WGzbSLtvu4KiEcfFOuTU3jJq7c3SBwoPbhHM_i1JfZDH1QBuXGx3RWmQyHabLqr77cl45BfibSh2rFVrgYXsgN2PUeDibkYjqqXZy/s1600/growing+family+tree+baby+shower+invitations-1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474581374821599378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiZATlXQdlfMlUTBJlXRsP4sM2fAIPuKzSsGN48W1WGzbSLtvu4KiEcfFOuTU3jJq7c3SBwoPbhHM_i1JfZDH1QBuXGx3RWmQyHabLqr77cl45BfibSh2rFVrgYXsgN2PUeDibkYjqqXZy/s400/growing+family+tree+baby+shower+invitations-1.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>What better way to invite guests to a baby shower, than with a growing tree theme. </div></div><br />These sweet baby shower invitations are designed based on the couple's nursery decor, which is one of my favorite ways to gain design inspiration.

Add in some <a href="http://cheninboutwell.com/">Chenin Boutwell </a>and Amanda Auer with <a href="http://www.inthenowweddings.com/">In the Now Weddings</a>, and it gets even more amazing. Chenin and Amy and Jocey (the wedding chicks themselves) put on a photography workshop a couple of times a year. The photographers in attendance were then able to put their skills to work with a mock wedding that was styled by In the Now Weddings. The concept was Nantucket Nautical and Amanda and all the talented vendors hit it on the head with the design. Rope topiaries, could you ask for more? </div><br /><div></div><div>We designed the fabric folio invitation, which uses rope to hold the enclosure cards and a modern navy fabric as the cover and invitation backer. The knot was a motif we wanted to keep consistent, so it was used on the invitation, the favor tags, and the menu. We also created branding for the couple, which Amanda cleverly transferred to the coffee sleeves, which serve as additional guest favors. The signs were based on the "Keep Calm and Carry On" British propaganda posters, which I just happen to have taped to my monitor at all times. </div><br /><br />For the full post and list of participating vendors, please click <a href="http://www.weddingchicks.com/wedding-chicks/featured-weddings-events/39037/nautical-wedding-ideas/">here</a><br /><br /><div></div><div>I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves, but it was such an honor to be included in this project and to have the one and only Chenin Boutwell photograph my work.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07154494237987985770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014812590934990027.post-54467982172775898772010-05-17T13:09:00.000-07:002010-05-17T13:21:43.705-07:00Stitched Love Notes on Style Me Pretty<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgZ4DGzktkTPww1Ihl4ZJWmOIz6MAjQ3Lbaj-l2Vd2JTXL7-pK7U2x6YOnbPO1OrKApq0YSLc-8ILSDWUTGa1V-Hxo4E0hNrAGJu8NrtNcCKWYr7FQPiorcjB2PU2S6l-zIsbsFLyEIg4Y/s1600/smp_katie+neal1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472336425853272594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgZ4DGzktkTPww1Ihl4ZJWmOIz6MAjQ3Lbaj-l2Vd2JTXL7-pK7U2x6YOnbPO1OrKApq0YSLc-8ILSDWUTGa1V-Hxo4E0hNrAGJu8NrtNcCKWYr7FQPiorcjB2PU2S6l-zIsbsFLyEIg4Y/s400/smp_katie+neal1.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizgrY8m9mgSqruICRWSAfkZryO0TlI74BDzCp2Q1Medn6zcpi5w_UtvWsaS__bB_HU9GWrhfWFXE-rucjCyQnVuSMsE0bPdA1VkdekT-xBSQya-PBmkEJBqp7lbGif_cv5W_K62Q6aILD2/s1600/smp_katie+neal2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472336416284347250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizgrY8m9mgSqruICRWSAfkZryO0TlI74BDzCp2Q1Medn6zcpi5w_UtvWsaS__bB_HU9GWrhfWFXE-rucjCyQnVuSMsE0bPdA1VkdekT-xBSQya-PBmkEJBqp7lbGif_cv5W_K62Q6aILD2/s400/smp_katie+neal2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0tQ-8dRYKBBUjFp-MnqipaUwmmcFd_xHcWYCK9ppq7IK-3R37EUORw4pQXHjIiu0Vn5urxAwc7rMIsIfby03qBOZcuW7HV2fatXX_rxO4PXg-J5TcdniG5FzQhSBFO1XWH8WmBntwiFbV/s1600/smp_katie+neal3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472336412146946130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0tQ-8dRYKBBUjFp-MnqipaUwmmcFd_xHcWYCK9ppq7IK-3R37EUORw4pQXHjIiu0Vn5urxAwc7rMIsIfby03qBOZcuW7HV2fatXX_rxO4PXg-J5TcdniG5FzQhSBFO1XWH8WmBntwiFbV/s400/smp_katie+neal3.jpg" /></a><br /><div>When the ever-adorable <a href="http://www.katienealphoto.com/blog/">Katie Neal </a>asked me to be a part of a "day-after" photography session for her dear friend, I was of course honored and excited to get to work. The couple have actually been married for several years, but weren't happy with their wedding portraits, so Katie decided to remedy that. </div><div></div><br /><div>Since there wasn't a tablescape, we had to be a bit creative with our use of paper. I created these simple and sweet stitched love notes and tags that the couple opened and read during the shoot. As I often say, inspiration often comes when I'm at the fabric store. I saw these vintage-inspired hankies and knew I had to use them somehow, so they are the backs of the tags and fit the color palette of navy, purple and light pink perfectly. </div><br />And aren't the flowers amazing. So simple, yet I could never do it.

Being in the wedding industry, I see so many talented photographers, but when I met <a href="http://lanedittoe.com/">Lane <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Dittoe</span></a>, I knew he was just something different. First off, he shoots in film. I think that's part of the reason I love the way his photographs look; they're just softer than digital with lots of processing. It also doesn't hurt that he is a super nice guy. Lane, we cannot thank you enough for so beautifully documenting our family.

Looking back, the house and yard were way too small, but one of the main reasons we fell in love with the house and eventually bought it were the original details: hex tiles in the bathroom, glass knobs, and who doesn't love a floor furnace (just kidding about that one) Well, I miss those little hex tiles and so decided to bring them back for their design debut on these baby shower invitations. </div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07154494237987985770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014812590934990027.post-59635577594819539832010-04-29T15:34:00.000-07:002010-04-29T15:43:29.605-07:00New Business Card Design<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs60ZMMlCSdGWdOPBY5dJinlokY96ydqNBJpvvMxa_xsx_PGydAbcM7q7dCcFdHJ5_3Lvn22YtZEGw8EiRhGABk6aKycR2aXV0gPES-DtcBiF30mmaW03c8IvQWDWGJfg-bdIMlgIEXHNM/s1600/paper+and+thread_business+cards+stitched.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 259px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465693683314837682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs60ZMMlCSdGWdOPBY5dJinlokY96ydqNBJpvvMxa_xsx_PGydAbcM7q7dCcFdHJ5_3Lvn22YtZEGw8EiRhGABk6aKycR2aXV0gPES-DtcBiF30mmaW03c8IvQWDWGJfg-bdIMlgIEXHNM/s400/paper+and+thread_business+cards+stitched.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMic8RWs9E2y7plFJm9fYnXNL3co8EjYJwzMXxMBWUT0Mbe0Qem5RHCgqr9jBUcaGnQEE21rDvNhxxZSmA4j6Bv2EBcIXFWLTluefhPvrlxR1KY-rN1goZM_ocjqo6h8p3HxUOO7AtV8ng/s1600/paper+and+thread_business+cards+stitched-1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 243px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465693669215303298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMic8RWs9E2y7plFJm9fYnXNL3co8EjYJwzMXxMBWUT0Mbe0Qem5RHCgqr9jBUcaGnQEE21rDvNhxxZSmA4j6Bv2EBcIXFWLTluefhPvrlxR1KY-rN1goZM_ocjqo6h8p3HxUOO7AtV8ng/s400/paper+and+thread_business+cards+stitched-1.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5XnfegX6lyG20uMbsE7COY6RtAuNTIicQCPMrDGMD5cKZKYR9ftKF0FVn8mtPK7HQye2M7zQ-vjwZ6p35L1Xdx95zaahln_tRhWkBlnFJW33YHy6M1c6zHOYRwoQBZT9GGVEPlTgXPFfe/s1600/paper+and+thread_business+cards+stitched-2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 244px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465693660700409170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5XnfegX6lyG20uMbsE7COY6RtAuNTIicQCPMrDGMD5cKZKYR9ftKF0FVn8mtPK7HQye2M7zQ-vjwZ6p35L1Xdx95zaahln_tRhWkBlnFJW33YHy6M1c6zHOYRwoQBZT9GGVEPlTgXPFfe/s400/paper+and+thread_business+cards+stitched-2.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Confession: at the last wedding industry event I attended, I conveniently forgot my business cards in the car. Truth be told, I was embarrassed by them. I liked the design, but the paper quality was not quite my style. I even upgraded the paper to "high quality", but I guess this online print company's high quality and my idea of high quality paper differ greatly. I corner rounded them and tried to stitch on them, but they just were never anything I was proud of. So, I finally had my local printer print a trial run on 100% cotton 110lb thick cardstock, and I'm pretty much in love. Of course I had to add a little decorative stitching to the bottom edge.<br /></div><div></div></div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07154494237987985770noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014812590934990027.post-60484247274563515352010-04-27T14:44:00.001-07:002010-04-27T14:56:48.268-07:00Vineyard Day of Stationery<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHobKMZ8TrPfHq263d4dnzBVARnPdj-Wm0yUWf8AXeUWVlA9Em54mYdIFHhBBlsEuIq0o2YM_D20c8QRHlsZ45s-LOkOUEvU48-izos5Trf68aP7z5VofkSdEg991TpTpy0yyJtyJAdxt9/s1600/samira_day+of+stationery.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 343px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464939282935965506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHobKMZ8TrPfHq263d4dnzBVARnPdj-Wm0yUWf8AXeUWVlA9Em54mYdIFHhBBlsEuIq0o2YM_D20c8QRHlsZ45s-LOkOUEvU48-izos5Trf68aP7z5VofkSdEg991TpTpy0yyJtyJAdxt9/s400/samira_day+of+stationery.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG8ILcWuW_GoM5M-k-6Kcg8JbMSpviJCD1Xjs-SRQVgoYtez-G4zzQ0uRb9rSn613RL9-AVtalW1swpRgDhs5vyh_37DDqp0K0dDAgDPvy7VxPgfz4uO0SrfEjQJe0jWh3C6Km-nFDoYEa/s1600/samira_day+of+stationery-1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 284px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464939275006668866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG8ILcWuW_GoM5M-k-6Kcg8JbMSpviJCD1Xjs-SRQVgoYtez-G4zzQ0uRb9rSn613RL9-AVtalW1swpRgDhs5vyh_37DDqp0K0dDAgDPvy7VxPgfz4uO0SrfEjQJe0jWh3C6Km-nFDoYEa/s400/samira_day+of+stationery-1.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8FfAidQ4w_t6_Bmc8_6adWt6HE7WlFBdlGISxZ75kBYrdaXfXWTgWN2qRL0Qg-O0RI8LZT0Hebu1QC_Ir8uilkmbt7PdCx47zo6Jk9XQo80ouBWIgHkwzdBiOeH4bi9UDBiopzOB5UaGG/s1600/samira_day+of+stationery-3.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464939264502411762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8FfAidQ4w_t6_Bmc8_6adWt6HE7WlFBdlGISxZ75kBYrdaXfXWTgWN2qRL0Qg-O0RI8LZT0Hebu1QC_Ir8uilkmbt7PdCx47zo6Jk9XQo80ouBWIgHkwzdBiOeH4bi9UDBiopzOB5UaGG/s400/samira_day+of+stationery-3.JPG" /></a> <div></div><div></div><br /><div>I'm not going to lie, it's a little sad sending these on their way to my sweet bride in Delaware.

If so, and you'd like to get a great deal and have 100% of that money go towards a local woman in need, head on over to <a href="http://www.startarevo.org/weddings/"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">REVOweddings</span></a>. This organization was started by a few San Diego wedding vendors who got together to help one of their own who is battling cancer. This is a matter dear to my own heart and family, so I jumped at the chance to donate my services. Up for bid is a custom wedding invitation suite, which includes 100 sets of invitations, response cards and envelopes. The value is placed at $600 and the opening bid is only $200. There aren't any bids so far, and I'm really looking forward to working with the winning bidder.

The initial challenge of the event was the display. We had to get a little creative, call in for reinforcements, and nurse a couple blisters from the hours spent making paper flowers. It all turned out great and we received a ton of compliments on our display. It was a little windy, so you can't see both of my "As seen on" signs. My sweet father had the idea of making little signs that showed how my invitations were featured on Style Me Pretty and The Wedding Chicks. Hanging those signs gave me a little feeling of "wow, I'm kind of making it." </div><div></div><div>If I were planning my wedding, this would have been an event worth attending for sure. What better way to chat with wedding vendors than with a beautiful vineyard setting and a glass of wine in your hand. It was truly a lovely day and made me love what I do even more. Chatting with engaged couples, brides, and mothers of the brides about their ideas for their day reignited the enthusiasm I have for the wedding industry. A huge special thanks to my assistant for the day; Marissa, you rock and I'm so lucky to have you as a friend.<br /><div></div></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07154494237987985770noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014812590934990027.post-4819371163587562872010-04-13T12:43:00.000-07:002010-04-13T13:32:13.649-07:00Enjoying the gifts<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsdoUCT5-xnwOTo5QAt87w14UnHdhoclZB7tgmNJx2KIdlUTzmnkbNyLEUdwSgJUlJAn11lISF-PaVepxx_HTCDRbyIBcm5L87vsY38cyKKxbiudZUzypXyytYuqnM6KD6v9N1adbTwY9/s1600/BEN_mkp.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459710253131052722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsdoUCT5-xnwOTo5QAt87w14UnHdhoclZB7tgmNJx2KIdlUTzmnkbNyLEUdwSgJUlJAn11lISF-PaVepxx_HTCDRbyIBcm5L87vsY38cyKKxbiudZUzypXyytYuqnM6KD6v9N1adbTwY9/s400/BEN_mkp.jpg" /></a> (Image by <a href="http://www.mkpimages.com/">MKP Images</a>)<br /><br />I just wanted to reflect for a minute about one of my ever-present goals. It is to focus on the present and whatever act I'm doing at the moment, do it well and with intention. For me this means reading a book with my toddler without also checking my phone, or having one client's designs rule my computer screen without any <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">internet</span> windows open. It also is what led to my decision to leave my career in teaching to focus on this stationery business. Whatever I do, I really like to do well, and when I was designing invitations, teaching high <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">schoolers</span>, and being a mom and wife, I realized I wasn't able to excel in any of them because I was doing too many things. This was all inspired by a post on <a href="http://zenhabits.net/2010/04/doing/">The Zen of Doing</a> that I found <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">through</span> <a href="http://www.sageweddingpros.com/">Sage Wedding Pros </a>that quoted the zen proverb:<br /><br />"When walking walk; when eating, eat."<br /><br />If you are a wedding vendor, I highly recommend the Sage Wedding Pros blog.

To even say those words is beyond amazing to me. I've admired so many of the stationers whose pieces are on this inspirational website, and to be among them, well, let's just say I teared up a little this morning.<br /><br />It was such an honor to work with the visionary stylist, Summer Watkins. She sent interior design inspiration images and just trusted me to do something fun with the paper. We then came together on the day of the shoot and it was truly amazing to see her vision come to life. The <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">florals</span> from <a href="http://thevinesleaf.com/">The Vines Leaf</a> were stunning.

I'm a picky eater and drinker. My coffee has to be hot, so I spend the better part of my morning in front of the microwave reheating it. I order tacos without lettuce and cheeseburgers just the meat, cheese, and bun. I'm also picky in the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">sense</span> that I like to pick things, and I sometimes get carried away in the calmness that comes from these repetitive actions. Next time you're stressed, try picking weeds :) <br /><br />This translates to my stationery pieces when I have to apply adhesive to 4 sides of 300 pages and perfectly place each one of its mounting, and I still find myself enjoying what I'm doing. I thought it would be fun to share the behind the scenes process of an average-sized order.
