{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  Next week I’ll be taking a little blog break, but I have two of my favorite bloggers filling in with some fabulous guest posts – Jane from Ill Seen, Ill Said and Kate from Wit + Delight!  You’ll have to wait until next week to see what they have planned for you, but I know you’re going to love it all!  But in the meantime…

Purple Baby Announcements for Olivia!

My friend Kari from SugarB Studio recently welcomed a baby girl into her family, and baby Olivia is just as cute as can be!  Inspired by the arrival of her baby daughter, Kari decided to combine the baby announcement with a holiday greeting.  Kari said that the two-in-one card not only saved time and money, but it was the perfect way to spread holiday cheer!

Happy Friday everyone!  Yesterday we got our first real snowfall here in DC – just a couple of inches, but I love the magical feeling of the first snow of the season.  The city gets sooo quiet; and my neighborhood of Capitol Hill looks particularly pretty with a little dusting.  This weekend we’ll be finishing up our holiday shopping (I know, I know, I’m such a procrastinator), staying warm indoors, and drinking lots of hot chocolate.  But in the meantime…

Blue Birth Announcements for Baby Bruce!

Akiyo from My Dear Darling recently welcomed her first little one – a baby boy named Bruce!  When it came time to send out the birth announcements, Akiyo and her husband Brandon wanted a design that was simple and playful yet special enough for their firstborn.  I love all the different envelope liner patterns, and what could be cuter than a baby footprint?

Wow, this has been a FULL week – but between the launch of United With Love and a fantastic week here on Oh So Beautiful Paper, it’s been a GREAT week.  But I’m also super excited for the weekend; tonight we’re going up to Baltimore to see Wolf Parade!  Later this weekend I’m planning to swing by the Book Arts Fair at Pyramid Atlantic in Silver Spring and re-tackle the great office clean-out of 2010.  But in the meantime…
