Bottoms Up!

In moving up to Frederick I learned that a pretty cool brewery is just around the corner. The Flying Dog Brewery was originally brewing in Colorado but recently relocated to Maryland. Reservations for the tour are inexpensive by hard to come by. For Christmas, I wanted to come up with a unique gift to give some of my new friends up here in Maryland. A case of the local craft beer and a tour of the brewery sounded perfect. The brewery doesn't actually give out tickets, so I made some of my own! And of course I had to cut it out to be in the shape of a beer bottle and tie a ribbon around it... I'll post that too. :) The tour was good, taste testing the craft beer was definitely better.

These are fun, and definitely make for an easier way to give for those hard to wrap gifts. Here's what I came up with...

SEAsons Greetings!

This was such a fun idea for a non-traditional Christmas card... just thought I'd share! I have a few more recent invitation and program designs that I'll be posting soon.

Happy Birthday Chuck!

This was a fun idea that a friend gave me for a party that she's throwing for her dad's 60th birthday. The theme of the party is a casino night to celebrate one of her dad's favorite pastimes. Here's how the proof turned out...

'Our Wedding Ceremony'

My Maryland roommate's good friend Nikki is getting married tomorrow and I was so excited to do her wedding programs! She has a fall theme with gorgeous cranberry colored bridesmaid dresses. Here's what we came up with... the design is remniscent of her invitations and are printed on an ivory paper with a cranberry satin ribbon added to the top, perfect for a fall palette!

I'm a fan of weddings...

So it's snowing here in Maryland, but I thought I'd post a fun program I did for my sweet cousin and his now wife. The wedding was at a beautiful house just outside of Atlanta on what seemed like the hottest Friday evening possible. The fans were a great idea, perfect for an outdoor wedding! Here's how they turned out...

Boarding Pass

I'm a sucker for a good themed party and had just the idea for a rehearsal dinner to be held at the McCollum Airport just outside Atlanta. I think the groom was nervous when I asked about themes and  airplanes but I think these turned out well to set the tone for a runway dinner. The 'flight' turned out to be their initials and the numbers, their wedding date. The seat number... well, that doesn't mean anything. Next on the drawing board... a set of fall wedding programs for a Maryland wedding!

Couples' Shower

So I found another fun invitation from a few months back that I really enjoyed making for a Couples' Shower. Most showers and invitations favor the bride so the hostess wanted to shower the groom in a fun party for couples. Congratulations Katie and Charles! I also have a fun invitation that I designed for this couple's rehearsal dinner that I'll post soon!
