Things I love: Stripes

This is one of my favorite invitations I've done in the last little bit.  

I love the grey & orange color combo.  

Love the bold and sophisticated design. 

As an added bonus, the bride, was fantastic to work with.  

She had a great style and was game for taking some design risks.

Definitely a recipe for success!

These stripes made some stunning appearances throughout the wedding.

I like change

Gave my header a face-lift.  What do you think?  I think it suits me well.  Always good to have something you like to look at perched atop your page.  And since that's about all I have to say, I'll just throw out the random statement that, like a lot of designers out there, I love fonts.  Love collecting them.  Love playing nerd-o name-that-font type games.  These are some invites that I've been working on.  Not really a fan of the text font in the middle one...it definitely does not work.  Good thing there are about 5 million more to try.

love at first sight

Yeah, I know, I need to get my blog header fixed {as in re-done.}

But, I am not....because my awesome husband surprised me with these super-fab shoes that I have been lusting after.  He didn't say anything, just set them out on my vanity with a little love note and one of my favorite drinks for me to stumble upon.

Quite the surprise!

I even let out a little gasp!

So, instead of doing what I should, I am going to be prancing about in these pretty things all day.

Maybe even all week.

That sounds about right.

Happy Valentine's Day!

{to me}

{They even came in a pretty box!}

a sweet deal...

Another super-fun project I got to do with a super-sweet photographer friend!  Sami Jo Photography is giving away a FREE mini shoot when you "like" her Facebook page and "like" Bliss' Facebook page.  It's that easy!  Go "like" some new friends and be entered to win.  The drawing ends midnight on February 8, 2012.

Good luck and share with your friends!

Bliss' First After Hours Party!

This After Hours party is going to be a smashing hit!  

My pal, Mary, at Serendipity, is giving away more gifts than you can believe! 

 {I'm secretly wishing I could attend as a guest, and not the host.} 

I do hope you will join us and share in the delicious food cooked up by Iron Gate Grill, the drinks, the gifts and the L*O*V*E!

{I designed the invite, in case you were curious.}
