luck be a lady

when debra came to me for custom invitations, for her casino night themed 30th birthday party, i could hardly contain my excitement. i always love the opportunity to design for a themed party and since i hadn’t done a casino night before, the ideas started running like crazy in my head.

here is what i came up with…

i hope these invitations make all of debra’s guests smile and cry tears of joy, just like the birthday girl did the first time i showed her this design.

color me notecards by kayla & lucas

my neice kayla, was so excited when my sister read her one of my past blog entries mentioning her name and her birthday party. so the other day, on the phone, she specifically asked me to write this blog entry.

kayla: “auntie ina, can you put my drawing on the computer?”

so this blog entry is dedicated to kayla and her brother lucas…

last month, i created a new set of notecards called, “color me” notecards. i had given a personalized set to both kayla and lucas for christmas. according to my sister, they were a big hit and both kids really enjoyed coloring and sending out thank you notes. well i recently received my thank you note from each one of them and i couldn’t be more proud of what they created.

here is their masterpiece…


kayla, age 4


lucas, age 3

these “color me first name” note cards are available for purchase on my etsy shop.
