Happy Friday. I thought I share a few things I love around the blog world. First is this inspiration board above by Darci at With This Ring. The grey, butter yellow and light blue are so pretty together. The color are muted but stunning in combination.

Another oh-so pretty thing out is the latest edition of Utterly Engaged. The strawberry shortcake feature was my favorite, shot by Kevin Chin, with floral design by his wife Nancy Liu Chin. What great ideas of a bridal shower, birthday party or 4th of July.

We recently printed some new letterpress business cards, 2 sided, 2 colors per side for a total of 4 ink runs. We used extra thick 600 gsm cotton paper. I went simple with minimum contact information.

In today's web linked world you can find our phone number, blog, location etc. etc from our website. Too often people bog down their business cards with too much information, their title, tag line, physical address, phone number, cell number, twitter etc. I wanted something clean and simple.

Look for a letterpress giveaway on Thursday!!!!

I'm feeling much better.. and back to blogging..


Lately I've been loving puffy, full ball gowns and mermaid dresses with a full skirt. In today's modern world when else do you get to dress up in something so frilly? Unless you work as Cinderella at Disneyland, it's kinda a once in a lifetime chance. I feel the same way about veils. When else am I going to be able to wear a veil? You might as well go all out!!!

Here are some of my favorites, including a peak at Vera Wang's Spring Collection.

Stay tuned for a holiday letterpress giveaway!!!!

I have about a million things to do this weekend, but sadly that's all come to a complete stop, as I'm battling a nasty cold:-( I went to bed at 7:40pm last night! I hope you have a better weekend than I!!! I feel so yucky that Emma is watching videos for the first time.. I have a feeling she's going to love, lace, princesses and glitter!! Watch out world the sparkle queen is coming....
Did you see we were featured on It's the little things blog yesterday?? We were so excited! Her blog features tons of inspiration, her own photography and her latest jewelry designs. It's the oh-so popular blog of Lisa Leonard Designs- handmade custom jewelry. Lisa was too kind to feature us and make our letterpress work look stunning. I know Lisa in "real life" and she's actually more amazing than you can believe. You can read her story here and shop for the perfect personalized Christmas gift here.


Isn't she so cute?? Hehe.
