a new client with the hopes of making her save the date more unique.
After months of back and forth ideas, and multiple variations, a final
selection was chosen. What makes this go around with the scratch off so
much more successful is the actual scratch off. If you look on the
internet, tons of DIY blogs post a complicated version of how to make a
scratch off concoction yourself out of soap and paint. After multiple
attempts, I was over it and looked into a better way to achieve this
same look... insert scratch off stickers! Genius! and believe it or not
wayyyy cheaper than the DIY solution. My client purchased the stickers,
and will place them on the cards herself. Below are a few of the options
that were thrown around for this particular project.<br />

between all of that... we bought a house and became engaged! <br /><br />As soon as I got engaged the question I heard most often was <i>"when is the wedding!"</i>, the second question I got frequently asked was <i>"are you going to design your invitations yourself?"</i>. To answer everyone's questions... October 5, 2013 and<b> yes, absolutely! </b><br />
<br />I'd be lying if I said I haven't already started thinking of the
designs, but now that I am actually designing for MY wedding, there is a
lot more pressure and I am having a hard time making my mind up. I have
a ton of great ideas and a lot of time to think it through.<br />
<br />While I mull through ideas for our save the dates and invitations, I
decided to start by designing something small... something for my
bridesmaids. While most brides give their girls presents and gifts, I on
the other hand am a bride on a budget, so I created this sweet little
card to give to them... or as Collin calls it<i> "an invitation to be my bridesmaid".</i><br />

<br />I designed all the cards and printed them out. The diamond printed
in a light brown color, I then traced it and filled it in with a fine
tip glue pen and the sprinkled embossing glitter on top. Super easy.
Super fun. I love the finished glittery look.Darahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04466414497449927974noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736966670799613929.post-52492497337476990582012-08-13T08:37:00.001-07:002013-03-25T12:25:53.723-07:00DALAHASTNeed a custom framed print?<br />

Hands down it
was the most beautiful shower I have ever been to in my entire life.
As my gift for the baby girl, I made two pieces of art to hang in her
nursery.<br />

For this first round of designs, I decided to submit two of my original designs to Minted. Next week I will finish working on the remaining two designs and submit those to PhotoCardDirect (where my Hanukkah card will be sold). Since a lot of companies ask designs to submit artwork, as a designer you are not allowed to submit the same design to multiple companies. I'm taking a gamble and hoping that at least one of these does well. On the bottom right corner of my site, you will notice I included a "voting badge". Feel free to vote for my designs directly on the Minted website that way.<br />

<i>(a little fun fact: they provide you with a wide variety of "photos" to use on your design layout... I always for some reason feel silly coming up with the "fake" family names though?)</i></div>

and has asked me to design a logo for her new business. Designing a
logo for a "gym" definitely took me out of my comfort zone of what I am
used to... <i>aka cutsie stationary and invitations.</i> I had to get out of
the mindset of "cute" and "sweet" and think more along the lines of
"tough" and "manly". <br />
<br />There was a lot of back and forth... and a lot of different
versions. But in the end, the below design was what was selected and I
am very pleased with how it turned out. It has been a fun project to be a
part of, the only thing I am bummed about is the fact that she and her
new company are across the country!<br />
<br />
The business cards for her and her business partner are below. Next up,
I will be assisting in designing the wrap (artwork) featured on their
trailer and t-shirts. <br />

A client
of mine, Stephanie, saw this on Martha Stewart/pinterest and knew she
wanted it for her STD's and enlisted me to re-design it. <br />

She
wanted to stick closely to the original Martha inspired design, so all I
really did was re-create it in her fall colors. After the design was
made, I arranged printing through an online vendor and Stephanie
laminated and painted on the "scratch off" paint herself.<br />
<br />
I can't wait
for my copy of the STD to arrive in the mail so I can test it out! I
think the "scratch off" is a fun idea and I am already thinking of ways
to incorporate it into another project. <br /><br />
