the summer has come and gone like an 80’s hair-do - it seems like it was forever ago, you loved it while it lasted and looking back makes you reminisce about those amazing outfits and hair spray bangs that made everything seem like it was going to be okay.  all that to say, my summer was really really great. good times with family and friends, which are like small breaks in reality that help me catch my breath. in between trips, we were in a frenzy looking at houses, hub being out of town a good bit, getting wedding orders complete, trying to design for the holidays (which is NOT easy when all you want to do is relax and go laz about in the pool) and pinning like crazy hoping to be able to decorate a home one day soon. summer was really good - learned a lot. learning a lot. i won’t give you all the ins and outs since this is a paper blog. but the summer was so needed and so good that i am having a hard time getting in gear (having a new house doesn’t help my heightened level of distraction (blissful distraction:) but i know that having a paper show will help me get in gear, even though i have to confess i am not looking forward to christmas music all day (bleh). i love it when it happens, which is, if you know me, after you eat your Thanksgiving dinner:) x.

Sugary Sweet Sixteen! this past summer i got the chance to work with a mother/daughter pair to come up with a super sweet sixteen bash! do you know those families where you walk in their homes and you know it is full of love? well, the myers family is exactly that, full of love and warmth! it was a joy to work with tina & carolyne to come up with a design that would be feminine without being over the top girly, playful and sweet all at the same time! i love the pink and white stripe border with the bunting on the invite. and my absolute fav part was the tag we tied to the invite, tina came up with the phrase that fit the bday girl perfectly, ‘she’s always been sweet, but now she’s sixteen.’  don’t worry, i encourage you to copy that phrase for your loved one’s bday too:) we tied the tag with pink and white divine twine like a present on the front and we included a cute mini teal envelope that told guest to bring something specific for a family in the process of adopting rather than a present for the bday girl. it doesn’t get much sweeter than that! the party was held in the myers back yard, full of twinkle-y lights, sparklers, pink tables by the pool, a super fun dj, a dance party, cotton candy and candy bags to take home as party favors that said ‘how sweet it is to be loved by you.’ love it. love it. love it. pics of the bday girl and some of her cutey pa-too-ti friends (and parents!) below. and another part of my life that i get to enjoy, besides paper lovelies, is these gals. i have the pleasure of having most of these cuties in my small group bible study, which we call d’s.  short for d-group, which is short for discipleship group. there was not pics of all 22 of the girls in the group:) but these are a few! it brings me joy to get to know these girls hearts, walk with them through life - the good, the bad & the drama. …… and i’m positive my friends and i did NOT look that cute at my 16th bday, i’m remembering a very large frizzy head of hair with braces, a too big baggy shirt and shorts that were just not cute…oh, the 90’s:)

SAVE THIS {stickin’ cute} DATE! happy friday all! save the dates are cuter than ever, like most things in the wedding world. photo or no, they are still way more creative and meaningful these days. one of my favorite things about working with brides is getting a little glimpse into their story and then taking those special moments and translating them into the design. maggie and mason (i know the names are ridiculously cute together, sounds like a romantic comedy) are working with the gals at Big Events for their big bash and the way we teamed up.  i love how these hatch-show print style cards turned out, my all time favorite line of this card is… ‘where it was love at first laugh’. how cute, right! the bride said it captured them perfectly!  and we had to make sure we added their pup - tangerine - to the envelope! although hub and i don’t own any pets, most of my friends do and i know that a pup is truly part of the fam. we wouldn’t want to leave their fun-loving four legged creature out of the fun.  and finally to top off the cards, they were mailed around valentine’s day…i mean. how cute! thanks to maggie and mason for using me to design these! happily ever after to you! Here is a quote from an email I got from Maggie after she sent out the cards: “Thank you so much for the perfect Save the Date card!  I’ve already received SO many compliments saying it’s the “greatest save the date card ever”, “so cute and original”, and “simply adorable!” Thank you for making this such a special memory for Mason and I.  We are thrilled!” i have to admit getting that email made my day, or lots of days:) happy weekend! e p.s. the photos above are drafts of the save the date and you may notice that there are two misspellings, but you can be confident that these did NOT go out! we correct all designs in the proof stage:)

Lavender Inspiration Board if you are like me, then you are rea-ed-dy for spring! i know we haven’t had much of a winter here in nashville, but i’m a summer girl. i would much rather be in flip flops than running from the house to my car and hunching over my steering wheel as if it will help me warm up faster. so, spring inspiration it is! the invitation above was one i did for those sweet southern gals in yazoo city. i pulled together some pics from bhldn (heart everything) and pinterest (which i JUST signed up, uh-oh). enjoy this fresh soft palette and dream of a spring luncheon, with all your closest friends, smelling the relaxing lavender scent and tasting some sweet milk and macaroons all the while wearing the cutest white shift dress ever! dreamy….. happy tuesday all! e

A wedding that you can look back on for ages to come and everything will still be in style and look perfection! Ahhh….I love it. And although I heart all things vintage, classic clean style is so refreshing! The invites above are from two different weddings, each bride customized their invites by adding their own twist to begin each celebration off just right! I love working with brides, designing invites to be unique and speak to each couples style and story! The second wedding will be featured soon…picture Louisiana oak trees, outdoors in the fall and southern style! Thanks to Zach Goodyear for the beautiful photos below from Kimberly and Brandon’s happily ever after! For more pics click here.

Happy Valentine’s Day to me (and you)! I know I’ve been MIA for a month(ish) but I’m back and ready to show and tell… We got through the cray cray holiday season (that’s slang for crazy for my older/wiser readers), jumped right into high wedding season and we are in the middle of selling our condo and buying a house plus many more trying things that I won’t bother you with:) But all that to say, Happy V Day week to me! Okay, so here is how I found out I was in SL weddings mag. One day I was meeting with the sweetest bride and she said, ‘I saw your designs in Southern Living!’ and I looked around the room as if someone new appeared. I pointed and said ‘ME!?’ She looked a little confused and said ‘Yes!” I was shocked that I was published in a magazine and she was shocked that I didn’t know:) Well…after much calling around and the help of some great friends (kathryn & alice) I got the magazine in my hand and it was true!!! Two of my designs had been featured in Southern Living Weddings magazine! It is a two page spread on the art of the printed letter - and I’m on two of the four pages (as seen above). Well, I do declare, little ol me in a magazine…but I think this will not be the only time you see me in a magazine, or at least I hope not! I’ll be sure to keep you posted. Thanks to the sweet bride Shaun and the fine ladies at Big Events for the heads up! Check back in often, I have many great things planned for 2012! There will be posts of some delightful snapshots from real weddings. I’ll feature their big day plus the invites that started it off just right! Plus some adorable bday parties and baby announcements that are hot off the press! Give those you love a big hug today! xoxo! E
