This Saturday was the baby shower.
I’ve already shown the invitations and favors, but as this is a wrap-up post, I’ll show them again!
The invitation was based off of an istockphoto vector illustration, recolored to match our blue/green theme:
The invitations were on different colors of cardstock, which I happened to already have available, so they were [...]
Now that I’ve picked a logo and have a business card order placed, it’s on to revamping my current web site. I’m going to treat myself like a client and come up with at least one other design idea — but here’s a peek at the first one and my experiments with five different colors…
Note [...]
This Saturday is the second baby shower that I’m throwing this year along with a few other organizers. The invitations had a baby carriage theme, so I carried the graphics on to the guest favors. I made custom tea bag envelopes using a pale shade of the lime green from the invitation graphics. Here’s [...]
It’s been over a month since I generated my last round of logo ideas (see part 1, part 2, part 3). Other projects and responsibilities have intruded since then, but a link to a VistaPrint business card sale that ends this Tuesday helped to whip me into gear.
I decided to start with my top three [...]

So, here is my first attempt at a retro round-head big-eyed self-portrait using Illustrator:
Question — should I go with [...]
The Tuesdays when I go out to my harp lesson and then hang out in a coffee shop (waiting for my husband to get off work so we can drive home together) seem to be turning into a personal development day where I do a tiny bit of offline work but then do lots of [...]
Armed once more with Illustrator and a color printer, plus scissors, a glue stick, and x-acto knife, I started in on making favors for this weekend’s baby shower. (You may already have read about the invitations and note cards, and caught my honey pot tutorial from yesterday, but in case you didn’t, there are the [...]
This morning I started on the last component of the Baby Bee baby shower paraphernalia. The other bridal shower organizers decided on getting inexpensive “honey stix” for favors. My job was to figure out a cute way of packaging them. I’ll have to post the results later on, but as part of my project, I [...]
Like a good girl, I finished up my homework from The Art of Branding Part One and assembled a long list of adjectives from friends and family and compared it with my own list (practical, fast/efficient, easy-going) while thinking about how these might relate to a logo.
