Today a co-worker asked me to make some graduation invitations for her daughter. I of course said No Problem! So, I quickly whipped up these two designs. She already had left over envelopes from another party so the size was already determined. She loved them, but couldn’t decide on which one to choose. I voted for the first one. What’s your vote?
I love designing custom invites. Here are some recent invites I did. I can’t take credit for the beautiful kids or the photography, that all comes from Janice.
She definitely has some great photography skills. These invites are currently available at my Etsy shop. They can be customized with different photos and different text. Paper Shop ink. will be adding many more custom invites to the site.
Joanna Alberti was recently featured on CNN’s “Young People Who Rock” Blog
She created a unique stationery and clothing company called philoSpohie’s
Joanna created a stationery line based on the philosophies of a character named Sophie. It’s pretty interesting to read how she started her company. You can read Joanna’s Biography and shop her store here
Today I needed to come up with an invite for a Bachelorette party I am helping to give soon. I like to get things done ahead of time. The party is not til July. The only invites I could find were generic looking and all pink. Of course I thought the best solution would be to design my own. This is what I came up with but I still have to do the inside layout.

Furochic Gift Wrap offers a smart and stylish alternative to paper.

Furochic comes with a full yard of tying ribbon, a matching card and illustrated instructions for wrapping techniques. Furochic has a life long after the present has been opened and can be turned into a no-sew handbag, pillow covering, scarf, patchwork quilt or used to re-wrap another gift.
