Welcome Baby – Announcements!

I thought I’d continued today’s baby theme with a few baby announcements that have caught my eye over the last couple of weeks.  First up,  Brandi from Sweet Harvey sent over a custom baby announcement that she recently created in a modern pool and orange color palette.  And how cute are those tiny little baby feet?!

Welcome Baby!

A couple of months ago I declared this to be the year of babies – I would need several sets of fingers and toes just to count all of the friends who recently had a baby or will welcome a baby over the next few months.  I’m guessing that many of you are experiencing something similar, so when my friend Janice asked for some recommendations on baby congratulations cards I thought I’d pull together a quick round-up that I could share with all of you!  Enjoy!

Namoo Baby Quilts

Also at Crafty Bastards, I came across the most lovely handmade cotton baby quilts from local artisan Namoo.  I love the modern patterns, and the cotton fabric is so incredibly soft in person!  And while kids aren’t in my immediate future, I’ll definitely be keeping these quilts on my list for when the time comes:

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  It’s a glorious day here in DC, so I’m taking advantage of the slightly cooler air to run a few errands and enjoy the sunshine (while it lasts!).  It’s also apple season, which feels incredibly sudden since I feel like I was just out picking blackberries a few weekends ago, but I’m hoping to find some time to go apple picking over the next couple of weeks.  Hooray for Fall!  But in the meantime…

…a few links for your weekend!

…and in case you missed it, a round-up of this week’s posts:

That’s it for me this week!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and I’ll see you all back here on Monday!

Tiger Theme Baby Shower Invitations

With quirky font choices and a bold color palette, these tiger-themed baby shower invitations are seriously cool.  Designed by Jason Gomez from Turnstyle Studio for his brother and sister-in-law, Jason drew inspiration from the nursery theme while also keeping in mind that both men and women would attend the baby shower (and taking it easy on the cuteness factor).  The result?  Crisp, modern, and totally fabulous!

From Jason: This was an a unique baby shower invitation as it was purely inspired by the baby’s nursery, which was itself designed and put together by my brother (who is also a graphic designer).

A lot of the character, color, and playfulness from the invitation was pulled from the tiger themed nursery that was created for the baby.

“Why the tiger?” you may wonder?  Well, the baby is going to be born during the year of the Tiger!

Since the baby shower was going to be a co-ed event, I wanted to keep a good balance of cuteness while also maintaining somewhat of a masculine feel to the invitation.

The invitation came together nicely, infusing a simple palette , a pop of color, and playful type selections.  It really conveyed the theme and overall aesthetic my brother Johann and his wife Jamee have set for the baby’s room.

Thanks so much Jason!  And a big congratulations to Johann and Jamee on the new baby!
