When my best friend called me last spring to tell me she was expecting I was over-the-moon excited! I was going to be an "aunt" to a new little person! I immediately went overboard thinking of all the little things I wanted to buy and the baby shower I wanted to throw for her... So, when the time came for her baby shower I couldn't contain my excitement to design her shower invitations!! Now, we all have a sweet baby boy, Dean, to love and cherish... and... SPOIL!!

This week I'm throwing it back to one of my most memorable design challenges. Early on in my freelance career I had a bride come to me by the recommendation of a good friend. She wanted something very imaginative and different. With inspiration from Pinterest she wanted her Save the Date invitations to be printed on cork board!! Being a designer that loves challenges and has several "connections" I quickly found a resource to print these unique invitations!

The bride sent me a few samples which I took to my printer for test prints. We sampled different ink colors and together we decided the black ink would look the cleanest and most sophisticated. Once I put the design together and the bride was satisfied we were off to the printers and VOILA! By far one of my most memorable, coolest, designs to date!
