Window Shopping at Two Brunettes: A First Anniversary Soiree

 

Carolyn of A Beautiful Ripple Effect is celebrating her one year anniversary with her husband in October at her home in Florida. I have worked with Carolyn in the past, so I know her taste and style, she wanted something created, with lots of soft colors, patterns, liners, the works. Her party theme is also equally as AWESOME, an evening of champagne and burgers! I kept picturing a beautiful florida sunset as the backdrop to this party, so I wanted Carolyn's guests to feel that when they opened their invitations.

A new blog I designed for the lovely Aileen and Ellen of Love and Lavender.

 

The inspiration that they provided was all so beautiful, very collage like, but at the same time light and airy. It was a fun project to work on!

Meet Mr. Charlie Christopher, this handsome little devil belongs to the one and only Ami of Elizabeth Anne Designs. Charlie is a regular socialite in chicago, from mingling in the dog park to waggin' wednesday's ( a doggie catered event) to hanging out with his very loving BFFs, mom and dad. Charlie also has a red harness for playing (pictured above) and a regular collar for fashion. Oh Charles, you're so dapper.

Window Shopping at Two Brunettes: Sugar Chic Identity and Website

Amy of Sugar Chic designs is an amazing client! She came to me a couple weeks ago with what seemed like an impossibility of a project. An identity, a full website, and a shop start to finish with developing in 7 days! Well I love a challenge. I feel like the only reason this project went so smoothly was because Amy was so open minded and loved everything I presented her. Which is always AWESOME. No matter what line of business you're in when your client LOVES something you do its glorious. 

Again, I'm amazed at how talented client after client I have. Loved this project, and the results. I still have some really cool special other projects with Amy going on, so stay tuned!
