Fresh Idea

Looking for a fresh idea for your program? and one that is environmentally friendly? and one that becomes a treasured keepsake? This large, program was used at the entrance so that guests knew what to expect and then was taken to the reception and signed by all the guests. The couple was able to frame it for their new home to remember their special wedding day and all who wish them happiness!

Wedding Invitations

Looking for a calligrapher for your wedding? 

I enjoy helping brides give a stunning first impression of their wedding day. 

Calligraphy can add a final touch on your wedding invitations.

TRADITIONAL COPPERPLATE ENVELOPE

Alphabet Sampler

Working on my homework for the on-line class by Joan Sharpe, titled Letter Love 101. While I'm way behind the schedule she intended . . . . I'm loving the letters! Very relaxing to let go of perfection and put spontaneity into each letter and the background.

Wedding Season

Here is the long of it - 
check out the city and state combo!











And now the short of it . . . 
why can't everyone live in Ada, Ohio???

Just finished my third wedding job this month. Busy, busy, busy. This one was by far my favorite list of invitees. Just about everyone lived in Ohio or Illinois. 

I love living in Hendersonville, North Carolina - but would a shorter name really change anything about the beauty of this fair town? or state? But it sure would make my hand happier!

Wedding Season

     Spring is here!
     The birds are nesting and the brides are working on the details of their special day.
      One of the important details is in regards to making your guests feel welcome at your reception. A seating chart, escort cards, and place cards are a great way to start. They let your guests know you want them to have a great time at a place set just for them.
      There are so many great ideas for alternative seating charts - ribbon boards, clothes pins off a suspended wire, or a decorated  table of place cards in alphabetical order.
      Each of these items can help enhance the mood of your reception and add to the personality of the table. I enjoy working with couples or wedding planners who are looking for something just a bit more than a traditional tent card.

Contact me and we can create something together that will be an exciting element of your reception.

Love Lettering

I have just signed up to take an on line course, which started Feb 1 - a bit late. Class ends tomorrow, but I will be plugging along. The class is titled, Letter Love 101 by Joanne Sharpe. It is a fun, creative look at lettering for journals. Here is the project for lesson 3 - make this sign for your work station.
