the golden age
When one of our always-young-at-heart friends turned 40, we celebrated with an evening out for dinner, a joke gift of a very posh yet tongue-in-cheek cane from fashionablecanes.com and of course — a card made by me to go along with the gift. Thus, a gentleman's top-hat and our friend's initials (and credentials) with a retro vibe became the look and feel of the card. I whipped this up and really like how it turned out; feels sophisticated, yet playful and alludes nicely to the gift, occasion and the recipient.

There were fairy wands to take home, a treat bag adorned with a custom sticker featuring the guest of honor as an enchanted woodland fairy, and picnic blankets in the shade to enjoy the wonderful puppet show put on by Puppets Pizzazz.

the midas touch
This invitation was created for a casual post-wedding brunch. Inspired by slightly moroccan/moorish designs, and a soft yet sophisticated palette with a modern edge, these invites are among my favorites. On her wedding day, the bride wore gold shoes; a little detail that I decided to carry through with hand-applied gold leaf dots on the front and backs of the invitation, in addition to the return-address labels... just a touch of luminous surprise.
| the envelope liner features the newlywed's initials as well as a reverse of the color palette |
| the back of the invitation has one small quadrefoil in the center with the couple's initials. some of the dots around the edge are the hand-applied gold leaf. |

my superhero
My youngest son's birthday is in July so many of his classmates cannot usually attend. This year was the last year they would all be together in preschool, so we decided to take advantage of a random half day to have his school buddies over BEFORE the school year ended for festivities at the end of the shortened day.
My rambuctious almost-five year old is obsessed with superheroes so that was the theme. We had a super-hero castle moonbounce, pizza, popsicles, ice cream, cake, a spiderman piƱata, a superhero tatoo station, pin the cape on the superhero, and I also provided real capes and arm bands for each little guest. I bought bathing-suit fabric in primary colors and gold (doesn't fray when you cut it, so no sewing required) and cut the capes for each child. With a little fabric paint and some stencils, I managed to write their names on the back of their capes. Again, I spent more time having fun at the celebration than taking pictures, so here are a few pics of the invite and my two littlest ones modeling their capes.

be blushing
I recently updated a logo and banner that I created for a fellow blogger; beblushing.com — a fabulous beauty blog from a witty, very knowledgeable self-proclaimed 'product-junkie'! Her blog was originally just called 'blushing' and I just redid the logo to match her domain. Be sure to visit her site for the latest tips, trends, tricks and advice... you'll be glad you did!
