Nicole and Brad

I must say that I am kind of partial to this invitation.  Not only is it a good looking invitation, but it celebrated the upcoming marriage of my cousin Brad and his new wife Nicole!  Nicole is from New Orleans and Brad is a huge Saints fan.  The weekend went off without a hitch.  We had sooo much fun celebrating (their long awaited) marriage.  Congrats Brad and Nicole!  I wish you all the happiness in the world!

An invitation fit for a Princess!







Once upon a time in a kingdom not to far away, Princes Gracelyn Alexis was turning One! A royal celebration indeed!  Not a detail went untouched.  Inside the pocket, was a sephia tone picture of Gracelyn with an actual pink grosgrain bow in her hair. The butterfly held a special meaning to the little birthday girl, it was placed in memory of a loved one.  I must admit, working on this invitation was so much fun.  What I would have given to have an invitation like this when I was growing up.  Happy 1st Birthday Princess Gracelyn!


Lordy, Lordy, looks who's 40!

Well I guess now that the cat is out of the bag, I can share with you a fun invitation we did recently. I have always been a fan of patterns and texture, which I guess why I like this invitation so much.  I love the colors and the "reptile" print on the pocket.  With an invitation this unique, it must have been hard to keep this party a secret, if I do say so myself!

Melinda & Brian


Melinda is one of our recent brides.  Her wedding took place at Southern Oaks House and Gardens here in Hattiesburg.  Because it was an outside wedding we wanted to go for a nature feel.  What better way than with our handmade Amate paper from Nepal!  We tied it all together with a thin double face satin ribbon, and hand twisted cording.  Congratulations Melinda and Brian.  We wish you the best of luck with your recent marriage!
