Corries Tahoe Wedding

My cousin was married this last summer- which was the main reason for our California vacation in September. 

She is an elementary school teacher so she wanted the chalkboard look to her invites-well I think that is why she wanted the chalkboard look... honestly I don't know that I asked. 

She was married at the absolutely breath taking location the Valhalla estates on Lake Tahoe... so I pushed for a color map of the location...  It's a historic property run by the US Forest service (at least in part) and is worth a visit if you're in the area. 

was a so fun to be able to put these together for her. 

Oktoberfest Wedding

I was asked to create a wedding invitation from Micah's 1st birthday invites. The RSVP postcard was added and I love it! It's always fun to do new work on old projects!

Parkers Invite

I've been super busy with invites lately.... and life... 

We are going to start posting more normally. Maybe... I mean we have a years worth of making that we haven't shown you guys. If you want peaks of some of what we are up to then check us out on instagram (jessicammc and corinnea) but there's even more we have been holding out on you with because we make a LOT of gifts.... 

Hopefully I will find the gifts that go with this invite and post them for you.... they're pretty awesome if I do say so myself!!

Lauren's Bridal Shower Invite

I (not so recently) helped host a bridal shower and I was in charge of the invitations. 

I was (who am I kidding- still am) severely lacking in time when I made these- Bella was 3 months.  So I relied very heavily on my Pinterest boards for inspiration... I wish this design was my own....just trying to keep it real here. 

 I ended up using a Minted invite that had been featured on a greenweddingshoes.com inspiration board. With a few change ups it really fit the brides style to a T... Her wedding color was Purple and she would be carrying Mums. 

I had them printed at Office Max... because it's the closest printer. And then used vellum envelopes and washi tape as a seal

I really love doing graphic work and even though I do wish I would have had more time to be original I really love the way that these turned out. I guess that is the nice thing about doing things for friends... 

I do have another invite if I can get it photographed... which could mean you will see it a year from now!

Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season!

Invitations

I have had the pleasure of working on two different invitations recently. This first one was SO fun to get a chance to do. I was contacted by a German company that saw Micah's invites and asked to create their invitations for a conference that will be held this year in Munich. 

These first two pictures are of the card part of the invite. The company graphics are their images I just arranged them into the card. 

 of course all the important information is removed. 

The fun part of the invite though is the insert-- 

 Man do I wish I were invited to this conference!! 

But for a party I was invited to (because I helped throw it... haha) 

Don't worry I changed all the important info on this invite! We kept the invite simple and preppy- I really like the way it turned out. This is actually a post Isabella project so it was done in my very limited free time! 

 I thought the shower went extremely well. The food was DELICIOUS... even if I do say so myself. I will have to get a hold of a few of the recipes and share them with you. Just in case you need party finger food that is amazing. 

Showers are so much fun. It also helps when you are throwing them with awesome people!
