happy birthday, dear cousin

Rather than stuffing cash in an envelope (or worse, in my cousin's hot little hand), I created this card and put the bills in a baby envelope mounted inside the flap. Fun, fun, fun!

housewarming

Good friends of ours just bought a fabulous new house, and so we decided to give them a little gift to celebrate the big move. Who doesn't love to go shopping with a gift card??


wedding invitations, STAT!

A good friend of mine e-mailed me on Monday and said that her best friend was having a quickie wedding in Northern California.....on FEBRUARY 2.

[checking date]

Yup. Whirlwind, huh? Anyway, she introduced us via e-mail and we immediately started talking design, quantity, etc. Not surprisingly, she was really sweet and easygoing, so it wasn't long before we'd come up with a plan of action. She'd already seen some ideas she liked, so we were already halfway there!

And four days later, the finished product is on its way. It's a square pocketfold in chocolate brown, with a sash incorporating their wedding colors of red, pink and brown. Inside, the invitation text is printed on luxe cream paper and mounted on red cardstock atop the inside cover of the brown pocketfolder. A pink insert detailing the wedding dinner and hotel accommodations sits inside the pocket on the right side. The whole ensemble is placed inside a matching luxe cream square envelope. Here are a few photos:














And, because I'm a nerd, here's a shot of the box I shipped them out in:

I should write a song. "Invites In A Box"! [wrinkling nose] Sorry, that was bad.
