twice the blessings of life

November 2, 2009

a quote by Eda J. Le Shan:

“A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.”

so i guess this means that twins are twice the wonder, twice the hope and twice the dream of possibilities. simply put, i think they are twice the blessings of life!

while i was working on these baby announcements i couldn’t help but fall in love over and over again every time i looked at these precious photographs of the beautiful twin baby boys. and when i received the final printed piece from the printers, i couldn’t help but put my face up against the announcement and squeal with excitement about how CUTE they are, imagining if i actually had the babies in my hands.

these double sided, flat announcements, printed on an ultra thick matte cardstock measure at 9″ x 4″, fitting perfectly into a #10 size envelope.

precious photographs were taken by j luna photography, an on-location photographer specializing in portraits and even shots of nature to the boudoir. check out more of her work at jlunaphotography.zenfolio.com.

la dolce vita

October 5, 2009

i recently had the honor of helping plan my cousin joan’s 40th birthday party. when an italian party was decided on, i immediately knew the theme would be “la dolce vita,” which translates to “the sweet life” in italian. what a perfect way to celebrate a birthday milestone, with a night full of all the sweetest things in life… food, drinks, music, and an intimate party with your closest friends and family.

from classy invitations by in a card to set the theme and tone of the evening…

to a complimenting and really “sweet” party favor…

each party favor, by in a card, had a little thank you note tucked inside and was sealed with a picture of joan when she was a little girl to remind everyone that she is “fabulous at every age!”

for decorations, i arranged fresh flowers and candles throughout the house

freshly picked from the downtown L.A. flower mart that morning, with the help of joan’s husband, jonathan, who is also by the way the person responsible for throwing this fabulous party to honor his wife

5 different wines plus italian cream sodas to wet the palette while enjoying caprese salad, chicken parmigiana, lasagna and garlic bread from a wonderful local deli, claro’s italian market

and what party wouldn’t be complete without dots cupcakes (served with a side of cannoli of course, from claro’s)

it was a wonderful party enjoyed by all and hopefully a very memorable one for the, always fabulous, birthday girl.

a cool item that christine’s sister helped her find and i got to design, are these custom usb cards, about the size of a credit card. so now, instead of a sharpie labeled plain ol’ cd, she can give her clients this fancy, fabulous and super cute custom usb card filled with all their wonderful photographs.
