rockin' 10th b-day bash

Not every day is 10.10.10. And when your 10th birthday falls on that date, it is absolutely a reason to celebrate! That's where these rock-star-worthy invitations come in. A friend who recently moved to a new home in Los Angeles wanted to have a big party to celebrate this momentous occasion for her son. Going on her clever idea to incorporate text that describes those things that come in 10s, and keeping in mind her son's desire to use his favorite colors grey/black/orange/red, I created these square invites. They are self-contained gate-fold cards, so no envelope was required. I designed the sticker that seals the invite shut, as well as matching postage. The interior invite was printed at catprint.com

The littlest acorn baby shower

This September I threw a baby shower anticipating the arrival of my niece/nephew. My brother and sister-in law did not want to find out what they were having so I went with the two bits of info that I did know; the baby would be born in the fall and the nursery was going to have a woodland theme. Going with that, I created these 'little acorn' invitations. I think they turned out beautifully. I now have a gorgeous nephew Wiley and am a proud aunt!

I even found an adorable handmade acorn cap to give them at the shower from loosethread2's shop on etsy.
