A Few Recent Projects

Things always slow down a bit in December as far as wedding envelopes go.  But here are a few I have been working on.

I loved these beautiful invites and the dramatic way they names were printed!

But when I saw how they were all put together with a soft, flowing bow!  I loved them even more!!!
Congratulations Ramona & Ricky!

And I also loved these elegant and personal invites from Layla and Andrew!  The photos are always a nice touch!  Congratulations guys!

Both invites were addressed in black script.  Great finishing touches!!!

2012 is already proving to be a BIG year for Calligraphy by Cami.  I can't wait to share all that is ahead!  Keep on the lookout......

Bible Verses

Working on another custom piece for Christmas. 

This is for a Navy Sailor.  His wife is doing a room in red, white and blue.  Very cool verse!!!!

11 x 14 - white parchment - blue italic

Chirstmas Projects

I have been extremely busy this week with Christmas orders!  I love this time of year!  I get a little bit of a break from the envelopes and get to do a lot of keepsake items that will be framed and opened on Christmas.  It's very humbling, actually.

Here are a few of the things I worked on this week.

 The entire Chapter of Romans 12 on a 16 x 20 - natural parchment - black script

 Song lyrics - 11 x 14 - natural parchment - black italic

This was a fun family heirloom.  This poem was written by a family member and published in the newspaper in the 1940's - they stumbled across it going through some old papers and wanted me to do so they could frame it.

Its a 16 x 20 - natural parchment - black Italic

Still have some photo mats to work on, and 5 more 11 x 14's.  Poems and scripture verses.  Plus, I am working on two sets of wedding invitations as well!  Busy! Busy!  If you have an idea for Christmas - contact me asap to ensure there is enough time to fill your order!

Marking Place Cards for Your Wait Staff

These are some place cards that I did for an October Wedding.  When they left my house they were plain -  my calligraphy and the design.  Their Wedding Planner, Heather Canada of First Coast Weddings and Events, added all the rhinestones to give them that extra "bling".  But they also had another purpose.  This bride had a formal dinner reception and needed a way to mark each card so the wait staff would know if the guest was having chicken or beef, etc.  The different stones are a discreet yet beautiful way of doing just that without having to add a sticker in the corner.  Well done guys!!!!!

Family Tree

Today I had the privilege of filling in a Genealogy Chart.  My client had been collecting info and doing research for the last three years and found this beautiful chart to put it all on.  I did two copies - one for each of her sisters.  What an exciting Christmas Gift!
