WEDDING WEDNESDAY: OUR INVITATIONS.

drum roll please... it's our wedding invitations!

these went out to guests nearly a month ago and we are getting rsvps in the mail daily. it makes my day to open a "yes" one!

i designed the suite and couldn't resist adding something just a bit cheeky on the rsvp card. guests have the option to say "i'll be there ready to boot scootin' boogie" or "i can't make it and there's a tear in my beer", two quotes from classic country songs.

some of the little details. i made the envelope liners myself using rifle paper co's new wrapping paper. the gorgeous return address stamp is by steph creekmur, who is based - where else?! - in nashville.

a close up of my favorite part: the gold foiling! we worked with kseniya thomas of thomas-printers, who did our save the dates, and i absolutely love how they turned out.

we have passed both the 100 day countdown and the three months to go mark until the big day. i'm so ready and i hope the invites got our guests excited, too!  

WEDDING WEDNESDAY: OUR SAVE THE DATES.

whoops, it is so not wednesday, but i promise it was worth the wait. it's our save the dates! and i am inlove with them.

this was everyone's favorite photo from our engagement shoot, and i love that it combines the true beauty of colorado with a nod to nashville {hello, cowboy boots!}.

and the back! beautiful letterpress, our wedding font and simple simple simple. i think it's rare to find the combo of a digitally printed photo with letterpress, and letterpress was something i really wanted. i was lucky to find a printer that not only does great work, but who also supported my vision.

i hope our guests enjoyed them as much as i do!

photographer: ross bothwell
letterpresser: kseniya thomas
stamp artist: erin hung

FREELANCE FRIDAY: RESULTS.

finally, proof i have clients!

small arms training school is an all-inclusive gun resource in franklin, tennessee. my {former} work bff sandra connected me and i have redesigned their logo, created a facebook page for them and am in the process of completely revamping their website.

logo! i knew immediately what i wanted to do, and am lucky that they liked it. sidebar: i think my dad is pretty proud that i am working on - of all things - a gun-themed website.

 social media. fun, fun, fun.

photos of the website coming as soon as it's perfect.

currently craving: watercolors.

{the unbeatable rifle paper co.}

this week's cc is kind of random, but it all started when i stumbled upon rebekka seale's etsy shop and then found her blog and she is from nashville and that only increased my love for her hand-drawn art. plus, i had already purchased these monogram cards from rifle when they were having a sale a few weeks back. and now i can't stop thinking about these detailed plates from anthro.

i'm know i'm not done with my christmas list, so i'm sure someone is not done shopping for me.

hint, hint readers ;)

currently craving: christmas cards.

{my fav via rifle paper co}

i am a sucker for holiday cards. b's doing a card swap with his internet friends {no really}, so he finally agreed to let me get some printed! i've designed my own for this year's card, but i would totally be down for rifle paper co. to draw out our likeness. it's never too early to plan for christmas 2012, right?

new design.

all four of my blog readers missed that i had refancified the blog. so, if you're reading in reader and i haven't called/texted/asked you in person to click out and see the new design, check it out.
