walking in a winter wonderland

fun stuff has been brewing over at Chlo+E.  they did several holiday drink tables this month, for baby2baby, splendid and danskin.  it was all about a winter wonderland theme.  and what better way to warm up then with hot chocolate and sweet treats!  here’s a few pics of the different table spreads.  it’s always fun being able to add a little bit of my design into the details of their table, with buffet/drink tags, plate liners and stickers.

Doesn’t Chlo+E‘s table spreads make you want to have a party every day of the year?

counting my blessings

a quote by Barry Neil Kaufman:

“Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts of finding peace of mind and happiness inside.  No matter what is going on outside of us, there’s always something we could be grateful for.”

as i turn thirty-two today, i am filled with so much gratitude…

grateful for all my amazing friends and incredible family that remind me not just today, but everyday, how truly blessed i really am.

a few things that made today extra special…

jessica, from SilhouPETte, creates these original and very special pieces of artwork of your pet’s silhouette with a vintage feel.  you can read more about her story and process here.  if you or someone you know is a pet lover, you’ll enjoy the time and attention she puts into each piece, leaving you with a silhouette image of your pet that you will cherish forever.

jessica contacted me about a packaging idea for her SilhouePETte jewelry line.  she pretty much knew what she wanted, the problem was she didn’t quite know where to go and also didn’t quite have the time to do the product research herself.  so here is where i come in.  🙂  jessica wanted to imprint her logo onto little jewelry pouches and have it all fit into a little box.  although this method of printing was a first for me, i knew that i’d be able to help jessica achieve the look and feel she was after.

after researching the product and printing methods, the final piece ended up being a soft beige drawstring pouch with her logo printed in gold foil.  each pouch will be packaged nicely in a brown kraft box, ready for gift giving.

winter wonderland

my nephew is obsessed with penguins right now. not sure how or why, but for halloween he wanted to be a penguin and for his 5th birthday party, when my sister asked him what kind of party he wanted, he said, “PENGUINS!” so there you have it.  the inspiration to my latest invitation design…  a winter wonderland themed birthday party, complete with a little party penguin.

basic white envelopes are always fun to dress up with envelope icings and sticker seals!
