{happy weekend!}
This week has been full of some amazing highs and lows. I’m so excited to be in our new place, but mostly these days I’m just feeling really tired. Exhausted from moving. Worn out from the challenge of mothering a teething baby. Struggling to maintain the energy to keep up with everything happening around me. Burned out from the self-imposed pressure of trying to do too much for too long. One of my goals for 2013 was to take a step back from the daily hustle and instead focus on improving my family’s quality of life. So over the next couple of weeks I’m hoping to slow down, focus on getting our new digs in order, and recharge. I’ll still be here, just maybe a little less often while we settle in at the new house. I hope that’s okay with all of you. But in the meantime…

Aubri’s Pink + Gold Foil Business Cards
Designer Aubri Duran sent over her new business cards, and the combination of chipboard, hot pink foil, and shiny gold foil accents is so exuberant! Just the photos of her lovely cards make me smile, so I can only imagine how pretty they must be in person!
From Aubri: These are my dream business cards! I rebranded myself at the end of last year and this year was all about redoing my website and getting the perfect business card to go with my new look.
I love the luxe of cotton paper but I decided to go with the natural chip board because I wanted an organic element but also wanted to mix it with the pretty foils. A shiny gold foil was a must for me but for my second color it was either going to be pink or turquoise. After looking at lots of swatches I went with the pink and LOVED it!
Thanks Aubri!

Rebecca + Varun’s Lasercut and Gold Foil Wedding Invitations
The team at Atelier Isabey is known for really intricate wedding invitations, and these New Year’s Eve invitations are no exception! Margot from Atelier Isabey wanted to bring an extra sense of opulence to the design, so she incorporated gold foil and a deep aubergine color palette along with letterpress printing and lasercut details. Gorgeous!
From Margot:Â For a wedding taking place on New Year’s Eve we decided to bring big drama and opulence to this invitation suite using a variety of mixed media printing techniques and papers. The invitation is printed with a combination of deep letterpress and gold foil and slides inside an ornate aubergine laser cut sleeve.
We also created a one of a kind coat of arms fashioned from meaningful details and symbolism surrounding the couple. The groom was from India so we added details like a peacock (a national symbol of India) and lotus flower on their coat of arms.
The bride on the other hand was from California and went to University of California so we put a regal Golden State bear to symbolize her on the opposite side. Last but not least, he proposed to her on the Rialto bridge in Venice, thus the bridge connecting both sides together symbolically. The final presentation was as luxurious as it was unique!
Thanks Margot!
