3 Projects in 3 Weeks, Plus Website Updates!

Friday marked the end of the third week of school and I am proud to say I'm on pace with my artwork this year (this has never happened before!!).  Check out these three projects made in the last three weeks:

Here's a project from before school started that I've hadn't posted yet!  One of my favorite pieces so far ;)

First Week of Work, Work!

So proud to post my work from this week, the first week of school.  In the past, the first few months of school put a barrier between me and my artwork.  This year, totally different!  I'm excited to present my second bouquet re-creation!  Final touches will be done tomorrow.  Then on to a custom home portrait for some fabulous Vandy friends!

The start of something great...

If you read closely, it says the ship date was July 28th... well, I'm clearly a little behind, (back to school was today) but I am really excited about the start of this beautiful bouquet for my even more beautiful friend, Emily!

More to come this week!

Invitation Celebration!

Yey!  These just went out today!  So happy to dive back into the invitation world :)

Love the combination of textures and patterns!  See below for product information.

Chevron Envelope Liners- cut myself!  I learned a lot about cutting liners from the wonderful folks at the Green Hill's Paper Source- thank you!!!

Kraft Baronial Envelopes (baronial*, or triangle seal, envelopes in kraft are difficult to find- most are a-style.  The ones I ordered from Paper Presentation were a perfect blend of casual, yet classic), Kraft card stock (of course this matched the envelopes and was in a gorgeous warm kraft), and Champagne Cover (stunning and front/back!)

Beautiful Pressed Baby's Breath from Preserved Gardens Etsy Shop

Finally, each invitation was tied with natural twine.  I easily found tons of waxed hemp, but wanted something both thin and natural and finally found it at Joann's in Franklin (one perk of being on the south side is how close I am to yet another craft store!).

*for more info on envelope types, here is a handy guide:

I am now planning to spend the coming months on several projects exciting projects- paper bouquet, two custom home portraits, baby letters for my new nephew (coming soon!), as well as an exciting new project inspired by the family tree line- a wedding guest book (more details to come!).  It is going to be a beautifully busy fall!  

I still have room for a few more orders for the remainder of 2014 and am starting to take requests for 2015 too!
