for baby jack

Baby Jack enters the world in August! I love that his momma and I are pregnant at the same time...I just wish we lived closer so that we could hang out all the time when we become mommies.

Anyways, I wanted to make some thank you cards for his momma, so I edited the baby momma template to reflect what she looks like. We then incorporated the nursery colors into the flags. I loved the way it turned out.

I also made her some return labels because I have a bajillion blank labels ready to be used.

yay for baby Jack!

tony & sara

my friend Debo asked me to make a Thank You card for her friends Tony & Sara who were married in May. Both Debo and Sara are very creative people, so I had a lot to live up to!

I drew them in their wedding outfits and added lots of color. Can you tell I am really into flag banners and birds? I also added some pom poms, since she had those at her reception site.

I printed out 100 of them...so I hope they go to good use writing all those dreaded thank you cards!

for a cool guy.

made this birthday card for this cool guy. If you don't know him, google him and I am sure you will see images of him dressed up in unique outfits like the one I drew above.

Happy Birthday SJ!

secret 2nd anniversary

Chris and I celebrated our secret 2nd year anniversary...meaning it has been 2 years since we eloped! time flies!

Last year for our one year we made a point to go to Mission Beach and ride the rickety roller coaster. It was so fun and symbolic in many ways.

This year, I'm too pregnant to ride a roller coaster, so I just made him a card about it instead.

whoah its been a long time

hi. its been a while. yes, i stopped designing after the wedding...burnt out, i suppose.

well, i'm pregnant. and i adapted one of my old pieces, pregnant karen, into a new piece: pregnant grace.



yay!

here's our thank you card for our wedding.

I recycled our program illustration and slapped on one of my favorite wedding pics on the back.

Done.

wedding programs

Okay, I have been working long and hard on designing and printing all the stinkin stationary for the wedding.

I'll start off with these programs.

So at first I had this elaborate design for them, but then my friends reminded me that people just throw them away after the ceremony..so they advised me to not put forth that much effort.

Hmm..okay. Well, if you know me, you know that I love to draw people. So I decided it would be fun if I drew out the program.

First I drew a picture of me and Chris on the front. Yes, Chris is wearing is dress blues (can you tell?) and there you have a sneak peek of my dress (yes it's short..and sexay!)

Then I drew the heads of all the people in the bridal party. I think they look like each of them, but some might disagree...(Vince has hair??)

The actual order of events is a design in my original program. The tree and tandem bike were items I was going to use in the invitation, but then I took it out. I drew these on illustrator.

So I scanned in my pencil drawings and then finished putting it all together in illustrator. I love it and I hope it makes people smile and laugh and my silliness.
