Happy Shopping!

It's August Already!?

Hope everyone's week is off to a great start! Time is flying by and the heat index definitely proves August is here! Billy and I had a wonderful weekend, even though he had to work part of it. Friday we went to the doctor and heard our sweet baby's heartbeat again. That n-e-v-e-r gets old! We enjoyed our downtime and even planted a new tree in the yard. I love-love white crape myrtle trees & since they were on sale at Lowe's (even especially at Lowe's I can't pass up a sale) we picked one up to add to our front flower bed.  I cannot wait to see it grow and bloom, they are gorgeous trees.

Invitations set the stage...

Invitations set the stage for an upcoming event. Once you receive an invitation in the mail you are given a subconscious idea of what to expect. Right? Or is it just me? :)

I love helping to set the tone for an event through design. A few weeks ago, I designed these invites for a friend.  Aren't they adorable!?

For those interested, I design custom invitations for a $30 design fee and you can print them yourself on your desktop printer. OR, you can also place a full print order (includes printing fee) and I will deliver or ship the invites directly to you.

Contact me for details if you'd like a quote for your upcoming event or holiday party!

ALSO, Keep on the look out for my Christmas tag collection available soon!

Envelope Love: Update

Hello! I hope everyone is having a great week! This is just a little update on the round stamps that have been so popular. I've had tons of stamp requests since I first promoted them in February and it has been a blast designing them for you. To make it easier for my clients I’ve created a sample sheet to give you a better option of what you can order. These options are templates I created for you to choose from. These particular stamp designs will remain $34. Custom designed stamps are still available for something more unique but will now be $40. I have another batch going to production Saturday for those who want to get theirs soon! If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Updating Connie's Logo

When Connie contacted me about a new logo to update her photography business brand, I was excited. It's always fun to begin a task of designing the perfect logo to fit a business's needs.  We worked closely together through proofing until we came up with her new business identity. I hope Connie is just as pleased as I am, I think her new logo is lovely and will look perfect on her fabulous photographs.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

A little envelope love

So, I've been a little busy lately and haven't had time to blog but I wanted to show you this lovely stamp I designed for the Bird residence this weekend.  It's on order now and I cannot wait to get it in and use it. Won't my little notes and invitations look so fabulous with a little stamp love? They are $34 if anyone is interested in ordering one from me. I can design one custom for you too, just message me!  Hope all of you are having a great week! 

Wedding Invitation: Taylor & Josh

Some of you may remember Taylor & Josh when I blogged about their Save the Dates. We’ll they are now one month away from their big day! It was a joy working with Taylor and her mom through the designing process. I always enjoy working with brides and being a small part of helping them execute their dream wedding. When the wedding invitations arrived back from the printer I was giddy with excitement. They are just divine if I do say so myself…Taylor has great style. Here’s to Taylor and Josh, may your wedding day be all you dreamed! Enjoy being a newlywed, there is nothing sweeter!

Photog Retreat 2010 [Bahamas]

Photog Retreat 2010 [Bahamas] is officially in works! When Kathryn Brown Photography asked me if I would consider being a sponsor for the winter photog retreat, I was energized. I thought it was a perfect fit for my design business! I love photography and always have but more importantly I am able to offer opportunities through my sponsorship in merging my two favorite arts (design and photography) together. The trip is going to be an awesome experience for those fortunate photographers taking part, if only I had decided upon photography after college instead of design I’d set sail too! :) Check out the site and make note, registration opens tomorrow! Don't miss out!!  There are some really great drawings and discounts in the works not only from Trendy Ink Designs but other fabulous sponsors as well! 

Trendy Ink Designs - Website News

Have you ever loved doing something so much you would do it for free…with a smile!? That’s exactly how I feel about designing for my clients; I really do love the process of working with them to execute their vision or ideas through custom design. Although, after years of voluntary work I decided early last year that it was time to venture out and started Trendy Ink Designs. I have been blessed with fabulous clients and am grateful for this road the Lord has lead me on.

So recently, I decided it was time to finish up a project that has been in the works the past year. It’s been a long time coming but my website is officially up and running with updated content. There’s still more to come in the future, but for now I am pleased to show it off to you. I’m grateful to my web designer, Karen Salsbury, for her patience with me during this process. She was easy to work with and does a great job. For anyone looking for a web site you can find Karen linked from mine...go check it out & share the love, http://www.trendyinkdesigns.com/!

Mott Braddock

Recently, I had the opportunity to work on a different kind of project for Trendy Ink Designs…something new! One of my oldest and dearest friends approached me about possibly designing his new self titled EP cover and CD design. Of course I jumped at the opportunity because it’s not everyday I get to work with a country music star! :) The new EP features four hits produced by David Fanning and Mott himself, the first song “Don’t Give up on Me” is my personal favorite! I’m so excited to see Mott finally living his dream. I cannot wait until he makes it to the big stage so I can travel back up to Nashville and watch him shine. Until then, keep up with Mott Braddock and his journey here on his new website, he truly is a hidden talent yet to be unveiled.

Taylor & Josh are getting Married!

I love-love designing anything wedding related. It's such a happy time for the bride, her groom and their families as wedding preparations take place. Taylor contacted me at the beginning of the year about her December '09 wedding. After meeting with Taylor I was excited to start thinking about design concepts because she is an "out of the box" thinker. She did not want anything too traditional and everything in the stores did not seem to spark her interest. I was thrilled to take on the challenge! Together we came up with a unique & personalized wedding package. While the invitations are at the press I will share with you the ‘Save the Date’ she mailed a few weeks ago - it's a magnet! Wedding Invitation previews will follow in the coming weeks. Congratulations, Taylor & Josh, I’m delighted for you both.

Raggedy Ann & Andy

When my cousin Katie announced she was pregnant I was so excited for her & her husband, Trey. This will be their first child and I can only imagine the excitement and joy of this special time. My mom is hosting the family baby shower-dinner this month and asked that I design the invitations. I asked her what theme she was doing for Katie’s baby girl and mom said, “Raggedy Ann & Andy” – What!? It seemed so old school I became nervous – I loved them as a child but that was the 80s! I decided to put an updated spin on it and designed the invitations which I think came out pretty cute! Mom showed me the decorations for the shower-dinner and I’m no longer scared! She always pulls through and I think it’s going to be a fun shower sharing in their anticipation! I’m so sorry for doubting you Mom, Raggedy Ann and Andy! :-)

Trendy Ink has a new home!

When Billy and I purchased our house a couple weeks ago, I was super excited! Not only because this freed us from apartment living but because of the extra space. I knew Trendy Ink would be an orphan no more! I’ve envisioned this room so many times in my mind and it is now reality. I have a few more special touches but for now I couldn’t wait any longer to share…

Putting Pop to work! :-)

The chandelier hanging is the one Billy bought me for our wedding and we were married under it, I absolutely love it. So here's a peek at where wedding invitations, stationary and marketing packages are now designed! I have lots of details and finishing touches to complete the room but so far it's exactly what I've envisioned.

4 More Days!

We are on the official count down. Billy and I get married this Saturday and are so excited! Lyndsay from http://pinkcoffeephoto.blogspot.com/ is doing our photography so I know the pictures will be amazing. I can't wait to post some of her work from the wedding in the next couple of weeks.
