30th Birthday Invitations

{ posted by Nicole, VP of Client Services  }

Aside from wedding and mitzvah invitations, we have been getting quite a few requests for birthday invitations this summer!  Whether you are throwing a Surprise 70th for your father or planning a Girls Night Out for your sister's 40th - we have some great ideas to share! Check out this fresh color scheme of honeydew and persimmon that we used for our friend Alison Conklin's birthday invitation.  Aside from the custom stamp, (always a favorite of mine) the invitation featured a black satin pull tab and ribbon band detail secured with a "30" sticker. The whimsical font chosen set the tone for this fun gathering at the melting pot! YUMM!

the Great Oil Leak Poster Project

{posted by Lauren, intern}

We recently participated in the Great Oil Leak Poster Project. This group is hosting two gallery shows in Louisiana where they will sell posters and prints to benefit gulf relief efforts. This great cause inspired many talented artists to come together and use their creativity to make a difference.

Our print illustrated by Jen James was one of 42 accepted entries out of submissions from all around the world. Below is her print titled "You Can Do It". Since accepted entries will be displayed and sold at the gallery shows, she wanted to send a positive message despite this very serious disaster. She thought the patrons in attendance might be more inclined to purchase a print with adorable animals holding up inspirational banners for us humans.

Here are some of the other accepted entries:

 

The prints will be sold at the following shows:

Bricks & Bombs Gallery
August 6th @ 7pm
448 Hearthstone Dr.
Baton Rouge LA

Acadiana Center for the Arts
August 14th – September 4th
101 W. Vermilion St.
Lafayette, LA 70501

a Save-the-Date for the Lone Star State

{ posted by Jen James, designer/illustrator }

I had so much fun with this project for my big sister! Knowing Kelly and Clayton personally allowed me to design something unique and just for them. They liked the idea of bringing everyone up to speed with a cute little story explaining that the high school sweethearts were reunited after college. We tried to achieve a theme of Texan-inspired shabby chic, with a nod to Clayton's love for vintage music posters. 

 
Apparently, this part earned her the nickname "Pickle Thief" at work!

A New Favorite

Here's a little sneak peak at a great wedding we are working on in late July at The Mallard Estate on Long Beach Island. A little combination of engraving, laser cutting and letterpress. Love.

I love my job, and I love working with clients who allow us to take their inspiration and turn it into something fabulous. One of our latest invites to hit the mail, I can't wait to show you this entire wedding in about 3 months! Stay tuned!

 

Triplet Rockstars

Some of you might remember me posting about my very good friends Mary and Ali and their adventure as new parents and the arrival of their THREE beautiful new babies!

We just had a ton of fun rocking out the fantastic announcements. Most people know my obsession for seriously awesome baby/kid clothing and my own son is a walking example of that. I rolled into their house with some really awesome rockstar vintage outfits that i picked up at fab kids store genes urban baby boutique in wayne, and it was perfect for their next day photo shoot!

and here are a few great shots by Brandi at The Resident Artist that just scream pure joy! I am so grateful to be an aunt and have such wonderful friends and people in my life. Love you Al + Mary and company xo.
