New Giveaway! Envelopments Roll-o-Deck

Hi again!  How about a little giveaway to brighten your Monday afternoon?  The lovely folks at Envelopments are offering one of these fantastic roll-o-decks, made with some of Envelopments favorite brightly colored and patterned card stocks, to one lucky reader!  Yay!

The roll-o-deck was first introduced by the Envelopments Team as a creative way to capture contact information from the 2010 HOW Design Conference.  Each roll-o-deck (stand not included, fyi) comes with 500 card inserts made from 125 brightly colored and patterned card stocks – from every color in the rainbow! – all custom die cut into the proper shape.  The roll-o-decks can be used as a personalized guest book, to keep your contacts in fashionable order, or even as a designer’s color wheel that enables you to mix and match color stories for new projects.

Miguel from Heavy Metal Letterpress created these baby shower invitations for his sister (congrats Katie!), stitching together the tops of two sheets of cotton paper for a playful design:

Birds & Butterflies

How sweet are these moving announcements and baby shower invitations from Brandi at Sweet Harvey?  I love the modern twist on the classic stork in these pink and red baby shower invitations:

And what better way to celebrate a new home than with a kaleidoscope of butterflies?

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you have plans to get out and enjoy this gorgeous summer weekend!  I’m heading off to spend some quality time with my Dad, who is visiting for the weekend and seeing our new neighborhood (and apartment) for the first time!  I’m looking forward to taking him for a walk up to our local park and to some of our new favorite neighborhood restaurants.  But in the meantime…
