Monogram Package: Joy and Johnnie

Joy was such a gem to work with! She asked for simple designs with polka dots incorporated in some of them. We started with the 3 for $12 package, but she liked so many of the samples I sent, she added 2 more. Here are some of her monograms for you to check out...

Logo: KZM Facial Care Boutique

This is probably my last post for the year. And it goes to Karley of KZM Facial Care Boutique. She had asked for a certain color scheme to match her web page's layout, which was designed by Boutique Mama. She's launching her own web site soon, and I can't wait to see it. Looks like her beauty products are really great -- i look forward to trying them out really soon (i'll probably post my experience with her Goat's Milk Face Cream) later in January after she reopens her shop. But here's her logo for the the top of her new web site. Thanks Karley, for the repeat business!

And here is a collection of the proofs I sent her prior to her final decision...

Happy New Year to All!!!!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

I am excited to take a couple days off to spend with the family up in the Los Angeles and OC areas. Looking forward to the food!

Merry Christmas to All!

Monogram Package: Jennifer and Tim

I loved working with Jennifer for her April wedding. Her wedding will be in one of my favorite color combinations: Sage and chocolate. So here are her final monogram choices. We will also be working on some table numbers for her too. Now it's time to choose which one of these will get to be on those table numbers. Hmmmm...

Kelly's Business Logo

Kelly came to me looking for a digital version of their business logo for MVP Commercial. It was a Roman temple, with some simple lines, so I decided to create it from scratch. I vectorized the temple (kinda tracing the original) and came up with the following. I kept the lines and colors simple because she will be using it to create an embroidered polo shirt, and letterheads. Hope the hubby likes it!

Marley and Me

So I found this great web site through Franklin Covey that creates cool avatars for you. You can add outfits and accessories. What sold me was that they had a SHELTIE to add to my avatar. I love my dog, so I'm definitely going to be signing up for this program. I was due to purchase the Jan '09 - Dec '09 organizer pages, and with the purchase of the GALS pages, you get a 90 day free access to their website to print your own notepages, to-do pages, and business cards with your personalized avatar. Plus it doesn't hurt that proceeds go to Breast Cancer. It's about that time for us to get our calendars for 2009, so why not make a difference while having a little fun with it? Check it out at Design Her Gals Web page.


Here is what I would look like just out and about with Marley (our 4 year old sheltie). And FYI, we got him before the wonderful novel came out.
This is what I look like when I go to work -- but I don't have Marley with me. I wish I could.

Real Weddings - Mexico

My friend Stacey just came back from a Cancun wedding and sent me a link to the photo slideshow. I was so impressed with the gorgeous receptions and photos, that I just had to post some of my faves. Destination weddings are so inspiring to me, because I LOVE the beach. I MISS the beach (we lived in Manhattan Beach, CA for 4 years before moving inland). Please enjoy some more of these beautiful shots by Elizabeth Medina -- if we decide to get married anywhere in Mexico, I'm definitely giving her a call. It's so nice to see that it is definitely possible for brides to have gorgeous receptions for their destination weddings -- it's amazing what these girls and venues have accomplished from such a far distance.
