Evan & Ryan's First Birthday

Evan and Ryan's mommy, Jessica wanted to do something really fun and different with the invitations for their first birthday, she had the printed on balloons! Check it out!

Each balloon was tied to a printed card and mailed. Guests had to blow up the balloon to be able to read the invitation. So fun!

It's not easy to see, but we also designed a small coloring card that Jessica attached to each favor, which was a baggie of star-shaped crayons. So cute!

Twin Castle Cellars Wine Label

,

I created this wine label for a very small vintner in the Livermore Valley in California. She wanted to use an illustration of a pair of castles that are close to where she grew up in the label. She grew up near Manderschied, Germany and used to play in these castles when she was a little girl.

Here's what I came up with: 

I created the image using watercolor along with pen and ink. Then I scanned the illustration and added the text in Photoshop. 

I really love how it turned out, and when it's printed on a textured, adhesive paper, it looks like an original watercolor.

Audrey's Birth Announcement

,

When Audrey was born, her mommy and daddy had JUST moved into their new house. They closed escrow on her due date! It was also a great time for them to combine both announcements with their holiday card. So that's what we did!

We included a Christmas greeting and the family's new address (no, that's not their actual address!). 

Welcome to the world Audrey!
