Minted Design Challenge: Holiday Gift Tags
I am taking on the next Minted Challenge: to create holiday gift tags. They have 2 size requirements, square and rectangular. The gift tags can be with or without an uploaded picture option, and they are double sided. Here are my sketches so far. I see many changes that will be made to these. Thoughts, anyone?
Hockey Themed Wedding Invitation
Congratulations to newly weds Brett Sanford and Lany Shisler! Brett and Lany married in Fort Collins Colorado this past weekend. The couple are avid hockey fans, and wanted hockey themed invitations. With this theme I decided to incorporate vintage hockey images into the invitation. The requirements they gave me were for their color scheme, to have the invitation be long like a ticket, and to have an rsvp card as a tear-away. Here are the sketches, final product, and a picture of Brett and Lany. Thanks Brett and Lany for being such a fun couple to work with! To order this invitation or have a custom hockey themed invitation made for you, please contact me through ETSY here.
Tree Inspiration, Etsy Artists: for weddings or parties
I have always been attracted to trees as a source of inspiration in my art. Trees can be a great theme for your wedding or party. They represent life: sheltering us from the sun, producing oxygen, create homes, paper products, etc. And of course they are beautiful to look at. There are an estimated 100,000 species of trees, and the oldest tree is approximately 4,844 years old (the Great Basin Bristlecone Pine).

New Invitation: Modern Bloom
I recently released a new invitation design on Etsy. It is a clean, bright, modern, bold, and colorful floral design: Modern Bloom. I created this design after playing with my watercolors using the same pattern for years. This is a design that I constantly come back to… simple in it’s nature, yet very pretty.
