where has the summer gone?

Oh that's right, it was spent waaaaaay overdoing it on my son's second birthday party, having the party, recuperating from the party, going to Washington for a dear friends wedding, recuperating from the jet lag, then catching up from being gone for a week. Which brings us to the middle of August!!! I can't believe how quickly it all went by. I fully intend to share all of the goodies from the party, but haven't had a chance to photograph some of it yet. Hopefully in the next week or so.

In the mean time, I leave you with a couple of quick photos I snapped during a short trek to Mount Rainier. Our friends got married near there on July 26th, which also happened to be me and my hubbies 6 year anniversary. We were so fortunate to be able to share in their beautiful wedding in such a magical place. I've never seen a bluer sky or so many stars at night... simply breathtaking!

Woodland Save The Dates!

I wanted to share a Save the Date card that I designed for my sister's wedding last summer. It was a beautiful outdoor wedding and she and her now husband wanted it to be an "outdoor/woodsy" theme. She didn't have too much more as far as a direction, so I went with it! Here is the result.

I liked the way the forest was subdued by the blue, but I think this would be pretty in green or even salmon. I had a lot of fun with the other floral graphic elements and was soooo excited that I got to use a bird! My favorite part is the textured envelope that we found! Don't you just love paper!

These are going to be available in my shop when I get around to figuring out the details... like colors and a price :) Have to have them now? Just email me!
