BORN TO BE WILD

Uncle Mike is 50!
Shhhh its a surprise!!!

I designed this surprise birthday party invitation for my aunt.
My uncles favorite colors are black and orange and he loves his harley :)
so it was an obvious choice what his
50th birthday party theme was going to be!


Enjoy!



Snazzy labels created for ivory envelopes,
I'm loving the white ivory contrast these days!



on the back of the envelope i hand drew flames
and colored them with orange and yellow markers,
adding a "biker" look, the back of the invite also
bears my logo, i know, i know... lame self promotion :)




this photo is of my cousins on their dad's harley HOW CUTE!!!
my aunt has some pics of them on their wedding day on the harley
but it seemed neat to show the kids... :)
I loved adding the small flourish detail mixing ornate and rugged,
mostly because i wanted an element other than flames!

Hope you enjoyed these!
I really enjoy doing party themes and invitations
they are fun because they are simple
yet have allot of small details that make them special.

girly summer pool party

This summer I had the pleasure of making summer pool party invitations for my two cousins ages 12 and 9. the both had different themes and different parties. I helped them pick out their themes and proceeded to develop a look for each girly party. 


Makenzie Had a summer luau, complete with leis and hibiscus place cards for each of the 7 girls that came to her party, Mak's favorite color is blue so we went with a dark blue and a light blue combination. i printed on textured ivory card-stock. and lined the envelops with blue paper

Mikalyn just wanted a beach summer theme and her favorite color was pink, She also loves hot pink and orange together as a color combination. I printed on iridescent ivory paper and designed labels to match. We lined the envelops with orange paper. Mikey loved them and was really exited to share with all her friends.

Summer

This Design is very close to my heart... because it is MY OWN WEDDING :)
inspired by summer, and and the personalities of my husband and myself, i created a fun energetic composition with a unifying graphic and color scheme. I hand made the green paper wrap that enclosed the layered information cards.




thank you notes...

Ashley Lynn

Here is a Design I did for elegant evening June wedding. 
The idea behind it was to capture elegance and formality while at the same time be bold and unique. I used a typical script typeface and embellished it, using shapes from the border design
and utilizing the strengths of the typeface.
