In the spirit of my travel digital-only workload, I am featuring my latest map creation: a digitized DIY request for Frankie and Stephanie’s wedding in Massachusetts. They will be printing it themselves and inserting them into little favor bags for their guests -what a sweet gesture! Stephanie wanted me to create a map from her list of wedding-related venues in …

Atelier Tuesday : Fine Bone China?
Hello everyone, I apologize for this long silence but the studio and house move and recent visitors have thrown me off my blog schedule! I promise that there will be lots of juicy posts to come on what’s churning behind the scenes here at my new mint green studio! There is so much to share about the projects I have …
Atelier Thursday: Part 2: Painting the Bay Wedding Treasure Map
Follow-up post to Part 1 here and mention here, slight change in thematic direction. Words cannot describe the beauty that is the North Carolina Core Banks and to be able to work on a special (treasure) map for a special couple on location was a tremendously wonderful experience. Giant oak trees, boat rides, beautiful shells (Inspired Monday post to come), …
Sometimes you just have to let life take over…
…we need a little seabreeze a little sunshine, a little big tree for the little muse that’s parched within us.

Illustrated Friday: Theatrical Seeded Invitations with a Southern Flavor
When I first read Andi from Tennessee’s charette entry, I felt a pang of familiarity and melancholy for having moved away from the South!

Atelier Tuesday: Digital, Paperless but Touchable?
I wanted to design a wedding set for Janine (the Green Guru creating waves of change with her non-profit Green Wave , follow her on twitter here), that showed her steadfast commitment for a waste-less environmentally-conscious wedding without compromising on her taste for the tangibly rustic and earthy! I didn’t want Janine to miss out on the tactility of real …
Illustrated Friday: Invitations with Great Gatsby Glamor
This week’s charette comes from a very excitedly engaged Erin, whose fiance surprised her with a hilltop picnic and a beautiful ring that inspired her wedding theme-glamor and sparkle! Erin wanted invitations with a Great Gatsby sort of glamor (to go with her ring), in the colors Fuchsia, white, champagne gold and lots of crystals and sparkle. I wanted to …
Atelier Tuesday: A Little (Upcycled) Wrapped Package
“Brown paper packages tied up with string… These are a few of my favorite things…..” I save all the packing papers and wraps that comes with the supplies I order and have quite a surplus of these brown paper lying around. For today’s atelier feature, I would like to show you a package I just dropped off for an excited …
