Paper Happy

So the other day just so happened to be one of my favorite days of the season... PAPER-SOURCE catalog day!  It makes me very happy that this day happens atleast 4 times a year!  Yes, this just sounds silly but I just love it, what's not to like about a boquet of paper dasies...    

   Here are a few of my favorites from this issue...

 

   I was especially happy to recieve this spring issue because I am working on the invitations for Becky and Justin's summer wedding and its time to finalize the design and order the paper!  Here's a sneek peek...

They are having an outdoor wedding on a farm, all very rustic!  I can't wait to finish up the design.

Wall Collages

    So I am sure I am not the only one who is very into pinterest.com!  I am quite obsessed with all the organizing, and quotes, but I am very interested in all the different types of wall collages there are.  Sometimes it's hard to decide what you want to put on the walls, considering you are going to have to look at it everyday!  So, I think that a collage of many framed images, is an awesome idea.  I have always thought the best part about collages is that you can make them as organized or disorganized as you want!

Here are a few that I love:

But I think my favorite is the 'clothesline' look.  I use one for my inspiration and recent work over my desk, but they are great for a photo display too, I especially love this idea...

 This brings me to my next project: a collage of framed silhouettes! Below is my inspiration, the final product will be here soon!

It's Blog Time!

    After a few weeks of blog obsession,I did it, I have my own blog! For my very first post I thought I should share some information about why I am doing this!  So here goes: Sometimes I feel so full of inspiration and creativity I just need a way to get it all out, and other times I feel the exact opposite, and I just NEED some {inspiration}. Sometimes, I just see something that I think is so pretty/unique/ well planned/colorful/confusing (or something else) that I just want to show it off, or see what someone else thinks of it.

    So a little about me, and what am going to do with this little blog of mine.  I love {design}, ALL KINDS!  I went to school for interior design, but I have always loved {photography} and {organizing}, and drawing.  I have recently developed an interest obsession in {typography} and {invitation} design, while designing my wedding invitations (I will share later).  I like to {travel} and I appreciate {architecture}.  I love to {cook}, and of course, EAT!  

     I can't think of anything that will live up to the image featured in my first post, so I think I might just leave it with words.  But that won't happen again!
