I was so pumped to see some of my free printables available on Ruffled used in a real wedding setting! I love the details of this wedding. Everything is just over the top cute.
Photos were taken by the very talented Rebecca Hansen.

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.

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!

I was just sent these photos and squealed. These are thank you favor stickers I created with the Birthday girls custom drawn portraits on them. It was a 1st and 3rd dual summer birthday bash, with kids and adults, so both the parents and kiddies got to enjoy favors. I love how they turned out!

Well these two need no introduction, I think Branco Prata has made quiet the impact over the web in the last year or so. A HUGE congratulations to Sofia and André of Branco Prata for their launch of the new website and blog. This was truly a labor of love, since the process started some time ago! I think everything that could of happened to us did, but with that a beautiful launch in the end!
Really, how lucky am I to get to create something for such a talented duo? Branco Prata's logo was inspired by their beautiful events that just seem to effortlessly float into the air. No really, I can not comprehend how they create all that they do! I know for one Sofia for sure does not sleep!
Can you believe this amazing spread they put together inspired by all of the new elements I created. I can't believe how genius this cake is! Sofia and André I will miss working with you, two of the most incredible people to work with in the world. Thank your for a wonderful experience, you're an inspiration! Now go check out the new site!

The blog design was inspired by old vintage 1960's Newspapers, Stepford Wives (in a good way), and Abby's beautiful wedding! 
I also created a logo for the Super Burbs, thanks Abby for being so wonderful to work with!

Clara has a Baptism coming up! Perfect excuse to break out some paper goodies. I actually shopped around for some Baptism invites, because it isn't going to be a huge affair, just something small, and I didn't need that many invitations, and now being a mommy and running Two Brunettes, spare time is priceless. However, I could not find a single cute invitation which allowed a photo and was cute (not super religious looking) for a baby girl. In the end, I just ended up creating something, with pleasure of course! Clara posed for the camera, she was looking right up at her mobile. I thought it suited a Baptism invite perfectly, like she is glancing up at heaven! Now I only have 40 some odd weeks to plan her 1st birthday invites.
