Hailey + Justin : Thank You Note

As a follow up to Hailey and Justin's wedding, I was asked to design a thank you card, including a photo of them on their wedding day, that they could send to their guests who attended. We again, like the wedding invitation, used their colors and made their wedding photo their main element.

Teaming Up: Whispering Walls Vinyl

I have been working with a friend of mine, Hayley, who owns a vinyl business along with her sister, Cami---Whispering Walls (see the button on the right hand column to check out some of their stuff, or click here) to produce a few designs I created initially for personal use and wanted to share them here.

I designed this as a gift to my parents for their 25th wedding anniversary. I choose a black marble tile and had the girls at Whispering Walls cut the graphic out of white vinyl. I loved the intense contrast of the two. It's very "now" yet still classic.


These next two are designs I created for the walls of our house, and while it's not the best quality photo, the utinsels below are cut from a metallic brassy-bronze vinyl (really pretty) and stand approximately 3 feet in height. I love how striking they are and how they serve as the focal point for my kitchen.


Below: I really loved this quote by Gordon B. Hinckley and wanted to incorporate it in a design where I could see it daily as a personal reminder. This is in black vinyl on an olive/moss green wall (although Cami later used this same design for her bedroom but in a blue vinyl, and it was really cute too). I love the whimsical yet contemporary feel it has to it.


Below: Here is a composition I created as a gift for our boss. Hayley then choose colors for it, cut from vinyl, and placed it on a tile. Two color variations can be seen below.



Of course, these were possible because of my collaboration with Whispering Walls. With the holidays fast approaching (or as a gift any time of the year, or for yourself) feel free to let us know if you are interested in purchasing vinyl crafts/decor, or would like custom vinyl graphics designed.

Thorpe Family

This is the Thorpe family (how about that baby, cutie eh?), I happen to work with Lisa and was thrilled when she asked if I would take some photos of her family to use as Christmas gifts, and for sentimental value as her son will be leaving on a mission soon. Although we had some issues with the weather/overcast we were able to squeeze in a few good shots and I was grateful for their patience. Here are a few pics from our shoot--we managed to capture some of the beautiful fall colors.

Ava: Baby Announcement

Meet Ava, my niece. Isn't she a cutie? I was thrilled when Jen, my sister in law, asked if I would design Ava's baby announcement. I loved the idea of incorporating a picture of big sister, Natalie, on the announcement along with the adorable red-head herself.
