single card draw

i turned my 3 card casino invite into a single, more economical, version for a soon to be 21-year-old, hayley.  i was able to fit all the party info on one card but still keep the small size of the invitation so it doesn’t lose it’s almost life like version of an actual playing card.

feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing these invitations.

a fun way to announce a new baby is on the way

my simplewear shop has been super busy lately. with mother’s day around the corner, i’ve had lots of requests for my “loved and spoiled by” onesie to help announce a new pregnancy. these onesies will surely surprise all the soon-to-be grandparents as well as the soon-to-be aunties and uncles.

i’ve even had a custom request for a “i heart grandma & grandpa” based on my “i heart mom” and “i heart dad” designs.


i love the little addition of “coming soon december 2012” on this onesie. it makes the onesie that much more custom and special.

arts & crafts party invites

this year, for my niece kayla’s 7th birthday party, she’s having an arts & crafts party.  when my sister first came to me for invitation ideas, my mind was a complete blank.  very unlike me when someone presents me with such a fun party idea.

i’m not sure if i was just over thinking the idea since every year i have this need to top past invitations that i’ve done for her.  or perhaps, i’ve just been feeling a bit overwhelmed with my work load lately.

either way, i had to step back for a second and remind myself that simple is what makes my designs unique.

so here is how the arts & crafts party invitations turned out…

i created a fun and colorful paint splatter background, put all the info on a sheet of vellum paper as an overlay, and topped each invitation with a real paintbrush that each guest can keep and use.

different color paint brushes and envelopes were used to keep with the very colorful theme.

to see past invitations i’ve created for kayla, see the links below and let me know which one is your favorite so far.
