I recently created stationary items for a Princess Zebra Baby Shower. To be totally honest I've stayed away from "pink and zebra" stationary items (on purpose) because I felt like there were so many designer's creating items using that color palette (and in so many variations) that I did not feel the urge or need to create my own.

Initially when I found out what the color scheme was I thought to myself (ugh) do I really want to take on this project and this "cheesy" overly used pink and zebra theme? The Event Coordinator or my good friend Marecia contacted me for these items and I could not tell her "no", because I know that Marecia will add her own twist to the theme with out of the box ideas... I've worked with Marecia on several occasions (my last opportunity was her Son's "Animal Safari Adventure").

So, here I am...Again, I've been afforded the opportunity to work with Marecia to create a few stationary items for a Baby Shower she is coordinating and I am pleased with the end results (and maybe even a little hopeful that my designs will stand out from the rest).

This same Baby Shower theme is offered in Turquoise (for a Boy Baby Shower). This theme can also be used for Sweet 16's, Bridal Showers, Quinceanera's, or any other celebration:

So, do you have any destination weddings or events to plan for this upcoming summer? If so, I would like to share with you my "Beach Wedding Collection". This wedding collection is somewhat of an "oldie" and I've shared it before on this blog - but with wedding season in full swing and the nice warm weather I've (as a Floridian) been enjoying I thought it would be appropriate to share with you again.

Within the next few weeks I will be adding additional designs to this collection to create a full stationary set. Currently, with this collection I have you covered from your Save-the-Date Cards, to your Invitation, and finally to your Bridal Shower Invitations. These designs are currently available in my shop: http://goo.gl/C65Q2W. I would love to hear any feedback on designs you would like to see added to this collection ... you can post a comment here or drop me an email.

Save-the-Date:

My little princess turned four years old this year (OMG ...time sure flies) and was back and forth with having a Lalaloopsy or Lego inspired party. I was excited to create something unique for any one of those themes and I DID NOT persuade her in any way to choose one theme over the other - I just  sat back and listened to her ideas and finally she got on board with the Lego inspired theme.

This year we decided we were going to definitely stay within budget for her celebration and not go banannas and over the top for a preschool party ... I reminded myself she is four and little things like favor bags filled with candy and frosted cupcakes are the things that make her happy : )

I searched the web high and low for budget friendly party ideas and my main resource I returned to time after time was Pinterest. I wanted my daughter to feel special on her birthday, so I contacted Debra with Titi's Tutu's to create an adorable custom tutu for her utilizing the colors fuschia, yellow, blue, and purple. I created an iron-transfer design for her t-shirt to match her tutu and everything began to fall into place.

Happy Friday!

Today I wanted to share with you (and unveil) a brand new shiny blog design I've been working on for Annitra, blogger for A Curly Girl All The Days of My Life... Please feel free to check out my previous post where I discussed how Annitra's photograph inspired her custom blog design:

It is January 16, 2012 (MLK Day) and we're baacccck and ready for business! Eccentric Designs Etsy Shops 1 and 2 are also open with new and fresh designs - I will be adding several new designs to my shops as the week progress.

Currently, I am working on a few blog designs ... here is the Banner Design for, "A Curly Girl All The Days of my Life..." although the blog is still a work in progress everything is coming together perfectly and I can not wait to share the final design with you : )


The image at the bottom was not included in the header design, I inserted it to share with you how Annitra's image inspired (my creative thinking) - her custom design.
