It has been a while since I have posted anything here. Mostly because we have been very busy preparing for and welcoming a baby girl into our family.
Margaret Clarinda was born on October 27, nine days ahead of schedule. She'll go by her middle name which was quite a challenge to announce. I finally decided to create a piece with her photo on the front and a small limoncelloSTYLEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18389029285110705398noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428398492579178697.post-16543119515391446812011-05-23T10:01:00.003-04:002011-05-23T10:12:41.013-04:00The KimberlyRecently I had a chance to recreate the Johanna invitation that I featured last fall. A client contacted me who was absolutely in love with the concept and had a piece of custom artwork that she wanted to use and all we had to do was work out the rest of the color scheme.We made a few changes based on the different type of wedding they were having. For instance, this wedding is being held at a limoncelloSTYLEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18389029285110705398noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428398492579178697.post-53579897579398034002011-04-25T15:06:00.002-04:002011-04-25T15:19:17.073-04:00The Unchosen OneOne of the many great things about being a licensed Envelopments dealer is that I have access to their pre-made design templates.

But sometimes it is nice to be able to pull a tree or a flourish if I need one.Recently, I had a client contact me who described her and her fiancé as fun, spontaneous, quirky limoncelloSTYLEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18389029285110705398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428398492579178697.post-39201024394224442982011-03-31T15:34:00.003-04:002011-03-31T15:35:30.389-04:00Website is downHi all,Just a quick note to let you know that the LimoncelloSTYLE.com website is down as it was hacked a few days ago.

She wasn't too set on any specific design concepts for her wedding when we first met which can be daunting to a designer to try and determine. But after speaking with her during an initial consultation I was able to come up with a few possible designs for her.
