More Mailbox Decals

I've decided that these are so fun!  My calligraphy made into a decal for a mailbox.  LOVE what these clients did with them!

Song Lyrics

I was recently contacted and challenged to take on this new project.  They asked me to create the lyrics to their song into their names.  It took a while to figure out but the client was thrilled!!!!




The possibilities are endless with this!  Let me know if there is something you would like me to create!


More Photo Mats

I've been doing a lot of photo mats lately. 
 They have become quite popular - partly because of my shop on Etsy. 


Love this one done on a black mat with white ink.....

Wedding vows with mixed fonts - Script and block



Jersey Shore Wedding

Last month, my cousin, Ashlea got married on the Jersey Shore.  We were all quite excited to welcome Colin as a permanent member of our family.  It was a beautiful wedding, and I was so thankful to have a small part in it.

LOVE her invite!  PERFECT for a beach wedding.  We finished off the invites with the Chloe font.  Fun and more casual for the Jersey Shore.  I loved the way she used the flags as her inner envelope information.  This was an adult only wedding and she wanted to communicate exactly who was invited.  So, she tied them all up and added the flags.  PERFECT!

Ashlea and Colin have traveled a lot together and they used some of their favorite places as table assignments.  We used the Chloe font again for the place cards, attached a magnet to the back and they stuck nicely to this metal board covered with a map of the world.  How fun is that?


It was a beautiful day for a beautiful couple!!!



Congratulations Ashlea and Colin!!!!!


Sanddollars

So very excited about these!


What a great idea!  The possibilities are endless!  These were actually used as favors at a weekend beach retreat.  But they could easily be used for so many different things.  Place cards, party/wedding favors, Christmas Ornaments, etc.

I already have orders for these to be used at a wedding and then turned into Christmas ornaments.  Can't wait to share pics!


New Font Style!

Another New Lettering Style!


To be honest with you, when I first started my business in 2005, I had one lettering style.  It was the classic Calligraphy font that you learn in class.  For a few years, if anyone asked me to do anything different, I was terrified and referred them to another calligrapher.  

In the last few years, I've taken on the challenge and I LOVE IT!!!!  My confidence has grown and I LOVE to play and create something new.

This bride is a friend of the family.  She loved the style of the Emily lettering - how it's sideways and mixed with block letters.  But she wondered if we could get the names to match the lettering on her invite. 

I took the challenge!!!!  

Love the way it turned out and so did she.

I've named this one "Jessi" in her honor.

Contact me if you have a new lettering style you would like me to try......
