pink or blue?

A great party idea by one of my clients...

a "pink or blue party"!

They had a Pink or Blue Party to reveal the sex of 

their soon to be born baby

to all their family and friends.

Friends and family wore pink or blue based on their guess..

and when they cut the cake...the baby's sex was revealed! So fun!

I had so much fun designing their invites and loved being 

part of such a creative project!

my little valentines.

Happy Valentines Day from 

Laeney and Fiona!

two.

my baby is 2...

The last TWO years have gone by way too fast

and I wish I had videos of every sweet and funny

moment, so I could remember every detail.

Our sweet Finn is feisty, funny, cuddly, so very loving,

and a total ham..

happy birthday sweet girl. 

merry and bright

Our 2010 holiday card...

Here's to hoping yours was merry and bright.

I knew I wanted to design a card that was bright 

and not traditional Christmas colors this year.

For a few reasons I guess...

The obvious reason that we are dressed in vibrant colors in the photos and

 they were taken when Minnesota was still bright and full of color!

 But more importantly, I designed a card around

 how I feel when I am surrounded by my little family....happy, bright and merry. 

Laeney's Laboratory

We celebrated Laeney's 4th birthday party with a science theme...

I created lab badges for the kids to write their names on

and screen-printed their names on their lab aprons.

Their take home gift was candy in test tubes!

And we had over 5 experiments that the 

Mad Scientist Daddy came up with!

The kids all had a great time..and the parents did too!

Faith and Appreciation

I don't typically discuss politics or religion on my "craft" blog... go figure. 

So briefly..we had a sweet, simple 

Christian Dedication for the girls last Sunday, 

not because we had to, but because we wanted to. 

We found water, as the Bible says to do. 

Water that is incredibly symbolic of our love and our family.

Adam and I wrote and lead the dedication and quite simply, 

it was special, significant and truly meaningful...

more than I had expected or could have ever imagined. 

The invitation

Three times the fun!

75 years of Living

A Birthday invite for Greatma Babs...

McCue Plastic Surgery

I was honored to be asked to design a logo for McCue Plastic Surgery in Edina. 

I ended up doing a couple final logos, 

keeping Dr.McCue's signature as the cohesive graphic between the two. 

The Main Logo

And the alternative logo...

Finn's First.

My baby turned one on January 12th, which called for a celebration!

The Jacobs Holiday Card

I love any project that incorporates different art medias,

and since photography and graphic design are probably my favorite,

I had a ton of fun creating this holiday card.
