This week’s inspiration really did its job.  I felt so energized while working on this one and the direction I wanted to go became clear to me really early.  This suite isn’t an exact translation of every element in the Dufy painting- not even close.  Instead I decided to do a translation of one very […] Read more…

French artist Raoul Dufy’s paintings are some of my all-time favorites.  I love the way he uses color and the easy, joyous quality all of his work seems to have.  Dufy painted a lot of horse/race track scenes and “Paddock at Chantilly” is one of the best.  I love the boldness of the building and […] Read more…

This suite is the type of design that letterpress was meant for.  The thin, clean lines, well-spaced text and pretty fonts are what print best on any letterpress machine and really do make the whole process so much more fun.  It is always a breath of fresh air when that rare job comes along that […] Read more…

One of the big stumbling blocks we came across when looking for a letterpress suite was figuring out what wording to use on the main invitation.  Our hosting wording got a bit sticky, my parents are divorced and only my father has remarried and all three parents were hosting/contributing to our wedding.  I also felt […] Read more…

vnn This suite is so cheery and full of joy that it makes me forget that we are heading into winter!  The Snippet and Ink inspiration board really made us brave color-wise and we couldn’t stop thinking about how we wanted to just lay in the grass, call out cloud shapes and sip on some […] Read more…

When I saw this inspiration board posted on Snippet and Ink over the summer I almost regretted my whole wedding palette and wished I could have another wedding, just to incorporate these fantastic colors and the fun and carefree look that this board encapsulates.  It inspires an invitation that is a lot more whimsical than […] Read more…

This morning I woke up to one of the best surprises…an e-mail form our photographers letting us know our wedding photos are ready!  I almost died with excitement and C and I spent a good hour laying in bed, going through all of them and just reliving the most wonderful day of our lives.  It […] Read more…

We have a new look!  Last night I alluded to some of the exciting changes we have been working on and they are finally live and can be seen by everyone!  C and I decided not too long ago that it was time to update our look, professionalize it, and really show more of our […] Read more…

Just wanted to pop in and let you all know that we are working on a very exciting change for the AP that we will be ready to share with everyone tomorrow!  It has been a long time in coming and I can hardly keep myself from eating all the leftover Halloween candy in the […] Read more…

As promised here is our first inspired invitation suite!  With this set we wanted to stay away from the tried and true pinks and purples so commonly associated with pretty little bows and went with a mint green instead.  I can’t tell you how many purple suites we have done!  We so rarely get to […] Read more…
