Dinara’s Pink + Yellow Hand Lettered Baby Shower Invitations

You might remember Dinara’s beautiful paper cut artwork from last month – and today Dinara is back, with the invitations for her upcoming baby shower!  Dinara is expecting a baby girl in May, so when it came time for baby shower invitations it was only fitting that Dinara apply her illustration and hand lettering skills to the design.

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  This weekend I’m up in New Jersey helping to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday.  Our family is scattered all over the country, so we’ve all been trickling into town over the last couple days and totally surprising my dad.  Fun!  And after a couple of really stressful weeks it’s nice to unwind, focus on a happy celebration, and relish in the company of my wonderful family.  But in the meantime…

Clara’s Modern Christening Invitations

My friend Carolynn from Two Brunettes recently welcomed her first child, a beautiful baby girl named Clara.  When it came time to choose Clara’s christening invitations, Carolynn couldn’t find anything with the right balance of tradition and fun, modern design – so she decided to create her own invitations!

Baby-Girl-Baptism-Christening-Invitation

From Carolynn:  Clara will be baptised at the church I was raised in.  Everything I was seeing was very religious looking, not cutesy or fun.  I wanted a mix of both, in a fun design for the modern couple that would also be appropriate for a baptism.

Adorable Birth Announcement Ideas

I love it when new parents get creative with birth announcements – the arrival of a new child seems like the perfect time to be totally whimsical and let your imagination run free.  I’ve been seeing lots of cute and creative baby announcements lately, so I thought I’d share a few of my favorites!

{happy weekend!}

You know how some weeks are just harder than others?  This has been a tough week for me, with a to-do list that feels like it’s getting longer by the minute and a rapidly dwindling energy level.  I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, drained, and a little burned out – and on top of all of that, over the last few days I also managed to come down with a bit of a cold.  Not a good combination!  I’m hoping to recharge a bit this weekend and start fresh next week.  But in the meantime…
