Looking for something sweet...

then look no further than this logo that I just finished up. Melanie Freeman contacted me about designing a logo and business cards for her new business, The Pink Cupcake. This sweet little cupcake was the perfect accent for her fun logo.

Fabric Inspirations

Emily was looking for a logo to fit her home-based sewing business. She was also in need of a banner for her etsy page and some business cards to hand out to current and potential clients. Here's what we came up with!

Ladies' Christmas Tea Tickets

What's it all about?

Making sure your information is easily available to your target market...business cards, web presence, advertising, postcards, brochures.

Could it be Gold?

Nah, but it is some beautiful jewelry! I was thrilled when I was asked to work with Kimberly Smoot Photography to create a logo, business cards and website for this wonderful company.

Elizabeth and Victoria sell beautiful jewelry and accessories with a portion of proceeds going to the Children's Miracle Network.

The website is designed to compliment her business cards. It displays her jewelry and accessories on a crisp, white background with gorgeous hot pink accents.

We've even set up a blog with a header that mirrors the website design.

life...art

Natalie of Milano Photography is really fine tuning her business. Earlier this year we did a redesign on her logo to more suit the direction she was heading with her business. Now she is taking a new turn on her style and focusing on "turning a moment of time into art for life."

Here's a 2-sided promo postcard that she will be setting out at a local doctor's office.
With a new logo, we couldn't very well keep with the same ol' business cards, so we had to revamp them to fit her new style as well. This first card we had printed on pearl stock which gives it a warm, shimmery look - BEAUTIFUL!

. . . . . . . .

The other card we did we printed on linen - also beautiful. Isn't this little girl so pretty in pink?

All About the Film Strip...

It seems everyone is loving the "filmstrip" look lately. Just finished this logo and business card design for Sandy Allen of All About Me Photography.


We also did a film strip for the photos on her website. What fun!

capturing the beauty of postcards...

Rachel asked for me to design a set of business cards that "matched" her business cards. How's this for branding?

And here's her business card:

taking a look back!

www.glasfordbaptist.com

This year's theme for the Glasford Baptist Ladies' Christmas Tea is "It Was a Simple Gift of Love Commanded the Course of the World." The ticket is Glossy coated on a smooth card stock, but appears to have a texture on it, giving it a scrapbook feel. And I'll be the first to tell you that the online version of this doesn't do justice to how awesome it looks printed!

I thought it would be fun to take a look back at all the tickets from the Ladies' Tea over the past several years. Enjoy!

A little more recognition...

for Sarah Ra'anan Photography. Not only did I design a logo for Sarah's business, we added a "brush" for her photos, a round sticker for her packaging, a business card and a postcard. What a great way to brand her business!
