The "Polo" Party theme is very popular this year and I've had several opportunities to tweak my Polo Invitation Design (view original design here). I also shared with you a couple of months ago another fun color scheme (view here) I worked on. Today I'm sharing with you new and fun color schemes customized to meet my clients needs:

Currently, I am working on tweaking the "Coco Chanel" inspired party collection. This collection was first created in 2011, and has been screaming for a makeover! Finally, I've set aside some time to work on getting new and fresh designs into the shop, so far I have five NEW Invitation designs. I am hopeful everything will be added to the shop by the end of the week. Here's a preview of the new Invitation designs:

I've seen this Neon Party Invitation design used for all sorts of parties/celebrations... a Graduation Party... is certainly a new one for me. This is one of my favorite party designs because of this reason, it can be used for almost ANY type of celebration. This Invitation design can purchased from my shop: http://goo.gl/XcVf92

Matching party/stationery items are also available!

It's definitely "Baby" season, I've been extremely busy the last few months with Mom's wanting to connect with me for custom stationery for their Baby Showers. I've seen this "BaBy-Q" theme around the web quite a bit, and I think it's so stinkin' adorable - I love the color palette the Mom chose for her Invitation design. It reminds you of summer BBQ gatherings with family (and of course adding a new baby to the mix is always fun!)

Recently, I had the opportunity to tweak an older Polo inspired Invitation design. The mommy-to-be wanted traditional colors for the design - red, white, and blue. To make the colors pop a little more I removed the "dark" chalkboard look from the design and inserted white for a nice clean and crisp look.

Recently, I had the opportunity to create a custom - Graduation Dinner - Invitation design for Dr. Shepard. She wanted a design that was classy/sophisticated, but also spoke to her girly side (hint: the splash of pink and gold). Congrats Dr. Shepard on your milestone Graduation ... what an amazing accomplishment, many blessings to you and all of the lives you will touch!

Today I've been playing around with a few "Superhero" themed Invitation design concepts for a special little guy. Instead of the "traditional" cheesy "Superhero" theme, the mom has decided to add a twist to the theme by creating her very own Superhero! She wants to incorporate some of the traditional colors seen in most Superhero parties, but wants to add gold as an accent color ...

A little while ago, I was contacted to create this adorable Blues Clues inspired Birthday Party for a special little boy. Mom wanted bright, fun, and non-traditional colors... she left it up to me to put my own twist on the theme, of course I added stripes and polka dots (some of my fave patterns)! Check out this adorable theme below:

Currently, I'm working on a mini project for a special little guy... stay tuned to see how this design is carried through various stationery items.

It's New Year's Resolution time! To be totally honest… I’ve always thought of NYR’s as being wack and a total waste of time because I never can follow through with them and I hate disappointing/letting myself down with promises I couldn’t keep. I can’t remember the last time I’ve made any NYR’s for myself personally or for my business. This year I wanted to do something different – I want to make a change. I want to hold myself accountable for something. At the end of the year I want to be able to look back and reflect on all of the challenges, opportunities, or accomplishments I made throughout the year. I want to be able to say, “I tried” or “I did it!” I don’t want to drown myself in sorrows or “what if’s” this year. I plan to follow through with my NYR’s (goals) this year … because majority of them I dream about all of the time and sometimes lose sleep. Last year January 2013 I walked away from 9-5p job to enjoy my personal life with my family and to elevate my business to the next level. However, I feel as though I didn’t give a full 100% to either one of those goals and I did not push myself as much as I should have. Honestly speaking, I am afraid to face some of my goals but I feel as though – it’s time – to face those fears and stop taking life so serious and enjoy myself a little more. So here it goes …

My NYR (Personal Goals) List:

✗1. GET MARRIED! This is definitely #1 on my list –  April 22^nd will be myself and Lamont’s 9^th year together and we’ve been engaged for six years. Every time we get close to actually getting married a fear arises inside of me and I switch the date. Everyone that knows me (personally) teases us and doesn’t take me seriously anymore when I give them dates (and who can blame them), heck Lamont doesn’t even believe me anymore.  I brought this upon myself – I’m foreal this time ya’ll I’m getting married! No comment!

I recently created a Fourth of July inspired Invitation for my Dad (or "Pops" as I like to affectionately refer to him). His actual birthday is on July 4th, which is very fitting for his fire cracker, wild, and crazy outlook on life. He is the type of person (or has the personality) you either "love him" or "hate him". From first glance if you don't know him or his genuine heart he may seem obnoxious and/or abrasive ... but really he is the most sweetest person in the world! I certainly do not want to sound cliche but, he will give you the shirt off his back. He really is a stand up guy and would do any and everything for anyone if he knew it was something he/she needed that would benefit/make his/her life easier.

I had the opportunity to work with Ms. Keirra to custom create Graduation Invitations for her. Keirra's mom had an idea for the invitations and of course Keirra had her own idea for her invitations. So, I brought both of their ideas to life ... they loved them both and decided to get both designs printed (indecisive eh? I love these type of design problems!).

January 20, 2013 I was blessed with the opportunity to participate in my second Bridal Showcase (click here to read about my first one) - Spectacular Brides of Florida Showcase. I am referring to this Bridal Showcase as a "blessing" because I DID NOT have to pay to participate as a vendor in this show. Maricel the Lead Event Coordinator with, "Let's Make it Extraordinary, LLC" contacted me with the most amazing news ever (prior to the Bridal Show), stating that an anonymous person was inquiring to know if I would be participating in the upcoming Bridal Show. Maricel informed the person that I would not be participating and the anonymous person responded, that he/she wanted me to be there and would pay for my vending booth.

During my phone conversation with Maricel I remained composed and carried out the remainder of our conversation with plenty of smiles on my face, but when I hung up the phone with her all I could do is SCREAM - O EM  GEE - I could not believe someone who knows nothing about me was willing to do something so selfless as to invest in a small business to participate in a large/upscale Bridal Show. This experience was very humbling for me, just knowing that there is someone out there "rooting" for me... little ole' me ... someone wants to see my business blossom and gave me the opportunity to network with people that I may have never had the opportunity to network with. I am so grateful and appreciative and I just want my anonymous source to know I thank him/her 1,000 times.

Opportunities like this NEVER happen to me and it felt good being on this end ... receiving my blessing and grabbing hold to my opportunity to showcase my designs/skills ...
