Moo...not just a sound that cows make.

For all of my design work I use my high end printers. But when it comes to things like my Christmas Cards and usually projects that I do for myself, I tend to want something quick and simple. This is probably a sign that I don't make time for my own projects and am usually working on everyone elses! Anyhow, a designer friend of mine recommended a website that you can upload your own design work to for basic pieces such as greeting cards, post cards and stickers. The turn around time is pretty quick and the quality is supposed to be good! So, for my Christmas Cards...I decided to try it. The website is called Moo...check it out here, http://www.moo.com/share/8m7znj

For designers like me, you are able to upload your own designs. But, if you are not a designer you can select from predesigned pieces as well and add your own text to their templates through their design tool. Pretty easy, right? With their greeting cards you get free white envelopes and for a small fee you can select a custom color. I chose to do something different this year and opted for a postcard style. Because I like to send my postcards in an envelope, I purchased envelopes separately all in one place. My cards are scheduled to arrive on the 13th of December. Once they mail, I will post the design and the finished product for you to see. I also sent my Mom's Cards there too! So let's keep our fingers crossed! MOO!

Bar Mitzvah Invitation

Invitation Layer
This Bar Mitzvah Invitation was accented by a metallic navy backer layer. The final invitation was both handsome and classic, creating a grown up yet traditional feel for the Bar Mitzvah. The finished size of this invitation was 6.5x 6.5.

Baby Shower Thank You Card!

This Thank You Card was designed to match Anna & Renato's Invitations and capture the excitement of their shower! The card was designed as an A6 Fold Over Card.

Colleen & Chris 10.1.11

On October 1st, Colleen & Chris were married! Their wedding took place at the Black Swan Country Club in Georgetown, MA. The Wedding was GORGEOUS! Every little detail was planned out from top to bottom. I created many custom designed pieces that started with their custom designed monogram that was used on their invitations. This monogram along with an embellishment that was used in the background was carried throughout all of their pieces. A mix of textures and metallic finishes of both ivory, black and deep plum hues were also used throughout to make the entire look and feel of their wedding cohesive. The list of their custom pieces included a monogram, invitations including a custom enclosure, church programs, table numbers, seating chart, donation card, card box, table numbers, seating signs for the bridal party, a custom design for their photobooth print outs and more! Below is a sample of some of the designs from their wedding!

Vases & Bud Vases

We all know flowers are beautiful on their own, but a vase that is a show piece just adds that special touch and can also be used as a centerpiece on your table or can add a sparkle to your dresser or counter space. These vases and bud vases are the prefect example. And, the Halloween theme bud vases are perfect for your Halloween Party! Use them with flowers or fill them with candy or water dyed with food coloring to dress up a table display!

Luminary Candle Holders

When working on large events the one thing I focus on is setting the design of the table. Just because an event may not be on a large scale does not mean you can't take that same concept to your table at home! I created these luminaries to give you the opportunity to make your dining table look as though you are at a special event all the time! Whether you are having a dinner party, or holiday get together these really dress up your table. Use the large candle holder to light a votive or small pillar candle in the center of your table and put a tealight in the smaller holders at each place setting, you will be amazed how much this dresses up a simple table. Or, put the large holder in the middle of your table and scatter the smaller ones on either side, in a line going down the center of your table. This brings a whole new ambiance to your dinner party table! These go great with the matching placecards that I have available, AND you can dress up your napkins with a napkin holder and you have an instant tablescape!
