And this is where I get all sappy about my best friends. Meet Angie and Kellie. We've been through it all together. Through elementary school to highschool we were practically joined at the hips. We were there for each other through everything, together we experienced all of the fun and trials of growing up. Many, many of my fondest memories involve them and I love these girls like family--always have, always will. One of the best parts is that not only were they examples to me growing up (some good, some bad--but hey, we had fun and have great memories!) they've grown up to be incredible women that I truly admire. I'm so grateful to have them in my life. <br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
While time and "adult life" has allowed less time for us to be as inseparable as we once were, do you want to know what I love most? I love that when we get together it was as if I just saw them yesterday...like we never missed a moment. We still get each other. Even after not seeing one another for months, it seems like we always pick up right where we left off. The second best part? That somewhere inbetween all of that, Kellie always ends up laughing so hard that she cries, and we get odd looks from by-standers. <em>Every</em>time.</div>

Kellie and I are now married, and tomorrow it's Angie's turn...which brings me to the reason for this post (aside from my nagging need to be sappy about my awesome friends).<br />
<br />
Angie deserves the best ( I would know, I was joined at her hip for the majority of her life, remember?) & I'm so glad she's found someone to give her that and make her happy.<br />
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I was so excited to get to design Angie's wedding announcement and get to be a part of her big day in that way. Of course, having beautiful wedding colors--purple, green and ivory--makes my job easy. </div>
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
So, with no further a-do, here it is. Best wishes to Angie and Clay as they start their new journey together!</div>

Since starting my full-time job doing graphic design it seems time flies by quicker than ever before. I am really loving my job --who knew you could LIKE a job?!--and have been learning so much in just the few short months that I have been there. It's been crazy busy there and already I have designed 30-ish book covers, a cookbook, and currently working on a party ideas book...among others.<br /><br />Even with being so busy at work I have found some time on the side to continue a few freelance projects, which is fun because the creativity is entirely up to me.</div><br /><br /><br /><div>I recently designed a logo for "Yakity-Yack", an online company that advertises local business. The company owner, Laurie, was great to work with and had great ideas to use in getting the logo design started. I love the retro-like feel of the logo. The colors are eye-catchingly bold and definitely have an "advertising" appeal to them.</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729958362947655554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaYEEKIybDTW4NaHJuoFc2RDcDwcbnk1z_R9PAMc8LyV8uvP6M2KCHyXoo8lTkMG8ikdgNPyC5fV98YTCoJPBXIsL9nyWIcsQL0uHXbatsppg_8ay7KGv2c1ufv2wWTttlBXvu7MMxBGwR/s400/yackityyack_logo.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>Another project was a baby shower invite. The shower was for my friend Heather's sister-in-law. We did a blue, green, and brown color scheme to match the party details, and threw in a couple of fun zoo animals. </p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729959531524280946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaWl26nyVwNBQ-PSpQMHlEjCMFCrj58SHP5QnBxoYRWLQQnbbozTKwJh79QllvwZ4fNKeTg4uKkE_4wIze2vCKBwdOOU7A_y1KbWs4rvt5crd7dXynGZ-6FU0uoL8Vh1WYcUK1k2uxBxXw/s400/babyshower_heather.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br />A t-shirt design has been in the works for an LDS Stake in Colorado. It's based on the poster design I did for 2012 YW theme, and the stake young women will be using them for their Camp shirts this year.<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 203px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729960390086638882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggClVisLPb6gOhWsnPAYcDO8kmHs71wuXKPEgGoFwQa10BctwozuNFiyAH_ZaJYRqRxpxGwow4aGzpVMdJt2Eym6vSumq2e56WdCC4dlneaGyp4C7xSNlkmp51KDnY2JL4PtXzFRHbu5Z0/s400/2012ywtheme_blackshirt.jpg" /></p><br />The other t-shirt design I've been working on was for Easter Fest 2012. Easter Fest happened this past weekend and was an ATV riding shin-dig put on by some of my family in Blanding. It was a ton of fun and we're hoping to make it an annual thing. Of course, no event is official without a t-shirt. (Back of shirt shown).<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 398px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730122402430825282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9o57dzfTW7RW3WqDy-p5aVRmc0K2kb_2Vdxk51rCeYS7_fWVif7doKlRHwPYFVU0l1KQKeU5NN_GKNaFhfWfTrY564fTMlDvROn7EZb8D5zZye6Pu4VPgfkv43lghboy-ow1V9yFDeqgK/s400/easterfest_mockup.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><br /></p>Also in the works is a wedding invite for one of my very best friends, but it deserves a post all of it's own...to come soon.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p>Brad & Erica Dixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02512082439396155486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110579825177251879.post-78642123141409397262012-01-20T18:35:00.001-08:002012-01-21T16:35:06.442-08:00Big News by the Bundle!I have had so many amazing things happen in the last few weeks & wanted to give a brief update!<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">First</span> of all,</div><br /><div align="center">My Etsy shop reached<span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"> 65 sales <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">and has been booming in the last month or two! </span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">Q</span>uite the milestone for little ol' me.

But if you're like me, those ginormous "go get 'em tiger!" ambitions sometimes only last til February...Spring if you're lucky.<br /><br />And because of that, this year I didn't want to "overwhelm" myself with things that I may never accomplish, so I decided to create just a few small goals that are easily attainable. Nothing extremely life-changing. Just a few simple things to look forward to & to help better myself.

I have had quite a few buyers for my original 2012 YW Theme poster (<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/82877375/printable-2012-lds-young-women-theme">here</a>), and because I have recently been receiving requests for a similar poster which would include the full scripture, rather than just the reference as in the original I am now offering one in my shop. <br /><br />This would be a great addition to any Young Women classroom, framed and placed where they can see it every week; or even as a personal gift to a young woman herself. This newest poster can be purchased <a style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);" href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/88061266/printable-2012-lds-young-women-theme">here</a>Brad & Erica Dixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02512082439396155486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110579825177251879.post-74083185240230596232011-12-08T18:22:00.001-08:002011-12-08T18:44:03.694-08:00The Vincent FamilyRemember <a href="http://purplepaisleydesigns.blogspot.com/2010/06/blog-post.html"><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">these</span> cute </a>kiddos, and their brave mom Hayley who gave me my very first shot at a "real photo shoot session"?

I really love their choice of outfits & colors. I think she did a great job at coordinating, but not being too "matchy matchy" by throwing a few different patters into the mix--compiling a wardrobe for photos is a tough and she totally pulled it off.

And when I say "working on them", I mean WORKING on them. I made 18 of these cheery little cookies and it took me a good 5 days of a production line-type assembly , starting with the adorable fondant owls. Today I finished them up by baking the sugar cookies, creating the royal icing background, adding the buttercream branch and plopping on the owls. LOTS of work, but really... I couldn't be happier with the way the turned out, so it was totally worth it! I love little "occasions" to whip out all the stops on pretty little treats!

I love the traditional CTR shield but gave it a twist by placing a fun word layout within it, and making it "pop" by designing it in 5 kid-friendly colors.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJrFspwp6X_0eHYGVgj0TldJzlPKzsQ-LEHmF0Ya1ggrbHPf6eZ-7_t0kjhv79zcXkqEpNUo6C02RyPO0LQ_51qzlBX5gQviF5J-XD9QJB_aAsCugmvj1b43bfOdi5sHoUGx88KjI6hKDg/s1600/blog+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJrFspwp6X_0eHYGVgj0TldJzlPKzsQ-LEHmF0Ya1ggrbHPf6eZ-7_t0kjhv79zcXkqEpNUo6C02RyPO0LQ_51qzlBX5gQviF5J-XD9QJB_aAsCugmvj1b43bfOdi5sHoUGx88KjI6hKDg/s400/blog+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662239966631973106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheRE9Ev5k40KeRRtVyw-H3TYaY72KKBHncVKMJzRaN59in_3BZID5l-2tUmaVfinh0SeDXBgM9Qfe-3HQQqm1MsoLhQDtLywyqL7JBkRBf3AvcZmFgWFCESmBHw0pwyq8xKS7-3yGdcuLY/s1600/blog+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheRE9Ev5k40KeRRtVyw-H3TYaY72KKBHncVKMJzRaN59in_3BZID5l-2tUmaVfinh0SeDXBgM9Qfe-3HQQqm1MsoLhQDtLywyqL7JBkRBf3AvcZmFgWFCESmBHw0pwyq8xKS7-3yGdcuLY/s400/blog+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662239962284457666" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Sxu7Mwii9o09f03CM43yQ-gqxD8Udof5bUAW5OB9-CyDTgyymDY4YSyMQtUHW5Yr2w6uB9BRMRvK7AUH8pphxSu75wle77N6n7CdJNj5aUky2xAuPEuP968fu5q2gHMnWsABxiqosnAn/s1600/blog+3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 249px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Sxu7Mwii9o09f03CM43yQ-gqxD8Udof5bUAW5OB9-CyDTgyymDY4YSyMQtUHW5Yr2w6uB9BRMRvK7AUH8pphxSu75wle77N6n7CdJNj5aUky2xAuPEuP968fu5q2gHMnWsABxiqosnAn/s400/blog+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662240132878684018" border="0" /></a><br />This artwork can be purchased<span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"> </span><a style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);" href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/83629728/printable-2012-primary-theme-choose-the">here</a>.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhddsPAc7I3YLm8ZLjQYkmuWBE9iFtNZPbeQEfSxeibPJDh4K4D8z1pVG0cPotbRRZNLXMwJoFO7P210Xanc5dhpV6UPbhBrqfSHQGOkvhP6w25wdGFRh50uhilGC1ESmz6q-IkXPhygh83/s1600/blog+3.jpg"><br /></a>Brad & Erica Dixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02512082439396155486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110579825177251879.post-11192043107955533552011-09-30T08:56:00.000-07:002011-09-30T08:58:14.294-07:00Etsy Shop: 2012 LDS Young Women Theme PosterNow available for purchase!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_IactZwKld5wH8eQO7kXqCVDe4-1mkXkEVI9dzD1x6ykw6FH0uOUbPFhNuOJ4lzj0IWaxNFAEwNVskzoeoG0Sq9F6mJbGh-En_b3jlg2GLg8kzms0MWZD_Lj8GXGvCpfx005q6H61-kqg/s1600/2012youngwomentheme_wm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_IactZwKld5wH8eQO7kXqCVDe4-1mkXkEVI9dzD1x6ykw6FH0uOUbPFhNuOJ4lzj0IWaxNFAEwNVskzoeoG0Sq9F6mJbGh-En_b3jlg2GLg8kzms0MWZD_Lj8GXGvCpfx005q6H61-kqg/s400/2012youngwomentheme_wm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658182244838814482" border="0" /></a>Visit: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/82877375/printable-2012-lds-young-women-theme">http://www.etsy.com/listing/82877375/printable-2012-lds-young-women-theme</a>Brad & Erica Dixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02512082439396155486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110579825177251879.post-9484727365543832682011-09-27T19:37:00.001-07:002011-09-27T19:41:52.652-07:00CTR Primary Birthday GiftI had a primary president contact me via Etsy in regards to creating a 5x7 image for the presidency to give to their primary children on their birthday next year. The final design was just to cute to not post! She knew she wanted a CTR emblem, 3 different colors (one for boys, girls, and teachers) and the year "2012" included, and from those details I came up with these cuties below. What a fun idea for the primary children to have next year!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLYqxXmCajr_sUqSLlghphJX-BT4YX6mNtogQ2ZX5E4Lk3qBYw0rpW8fVZuw7L6K98Kg9xpLqdzxWt55xwX624TyPwXGsAZolcGiC_lG8sN22jtxf9HNI6y_hewpDIERxKgM9A2R8JFVXY/s1600/CTR+GIRL_WM.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLYqxXmCajr_sUqSLlghphJX-BT4YX6mNtogQ2ZX5E4Lk3qBYw0rpW8fVZuw7L6K98Kg9xpLqdzxWt55xwX624TyPwXGsAZolcGiC_lG8sN22jtxf9HNI6y_hewpDIERxKgM9A2R8JFVXY/s400/CTR+GIRL_WM.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657234892484467250" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqOGIAaaCMKI9rHL1TBqDI5p9aHZHiNt39VmVuXUCZvKLLDDjBjbq9ON9_Vt-yv5mfOOGM04SuzPW9ccOYIobRJdPjv2Tf5013ccBOGSwdJpq00Pl467-o1JI0iHC241CQsEtM2hSYYXM-/s1600/CTR+BOY_WM.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqOGIAaaCMKI9rHL1TBqDI5p9aHZHiNt39VmVuXUCZvKLLDDjBjbq9ON9_Vt-yv5mfOOGM04SuzPW9ccOYIobRJdPjv2Tf5013ccBOGSwdJpq00Pl467-o1JI0iHC241CQsEtM2hSYYXM-/s400/CTR+BOY_WM.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657234887914727554" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn31a3ZooNnc7dbQY7QqzxDQC_0mI9qeDQldiKbkA3PhuaAahwhZfGB2l1APEgf8O8BmeWWoAh5xrSwgxp_ycK96YqF8CnmaBrsh1cYpWF8HdlKouhsqqoeBvI8BQG8AgoyZ7nsgKTqK5y/s1600/CTR+TEACHER_WM.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn31a3ZooNnc7dbQY7QqzxDQC_0mI9qeDQldiKbkA3PhuaAahwhZfGB2l1APEgf8O8BmeWWoAh5xrSwgxp_ycK96YqF8CnmaBrsh1cYpWF8HdlKouhsqqoeBvI8BQG8AgoyZ7nsgKTqK5y/s400/CTR+TEACHER_WM.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657234894051071218" border="0" /></a>Brad & Erica Dixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02512082439396155486noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110579825177251879.post-41503671399871053622011-09-20T18:16:00.000-07:002011-09-20T18:20:34.711-07:00New!

I usually get nervous before shooting, but this one was even more so because I have never worked with a newborn before. Needless to say, he was an angel (seriously, this little guy just took whatever we dished--I was impressed!) and I think the photos turned out pretty well! I wanted to keep the editing "warm and soft". Check out some of the photos from the shoot below!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFb7bh0071uYApq-UUpSwjAwNCoh2kJ1nfvMVF_ksUPAcCnoUUQV-2zKLBS-cvL-xRnDnD9Ke4kjUF1mCu1dKvmp4o8V0iCPwtcQVAcJvfh3OS_JGZizHYABcCyHIMHjVCBWHPP9E9BIID/s1600/blog8.jpg"><img style="display:block;

<br />Okay, so this isn't a TOTAL event design, but I've been really excited to post about this cake & cupcakes. I have been wanting a reason to make a ruffle cake and a color gradient for a while now. This cake was different from anything I've done before and had a lot of fun making it. I also really like the chevron pattern that seems to be on everything now days--and opted to use it for the coordinating cupcake wrappers.
<br />
<br />I made the cake and cupcakes for a surprise party for my sister in law, Megan's 16th birthday. My other sister-in-law Amy put everything together and there was a great turn out. It was fun to see Megan's face when she realized what was going on after showing up at a park in town with Amy to "swing" and slowly recognizing friends of hers. Amy helped with the idea to incorporate a "flag" type theme and I think it turned out really cute, I used it on the cake banner and the cupcake toppers. Cute color pallete also, right? Amy was also behind that.
<br />
<br />Happy birthday Megan! I hope you had a fun night and will enjoy what life has in store for you! You're at a fun age so be sure to enjoy every minute, and when you look back I hope this time in your life will bring a smile to your face! I know mine does for me.

<br />Holy smokes, I cannot tell you how excited I am! Since my last contest win (previous post) I have won FOUR more design contests for holiday cards, hosted by Picaboo.

These 4 designs, out of 185 total entries, were chosen by Picaboo to be made available to their customers this holiday season! Check out the latest 4 design wins below! (insert giddy giggles here :)

I will admit, I was a little intimidated when I heard what LaShana had in mind for the cake for her mom's 40th birthday party--but once I got going on it everything came together and I think the cake turned out really well!<br /><br />My main concern was trying to make the pink and yellow circles look random and scattered without having a pattern to them. The challenge that factor brought to the design made it even more enjoyable to work on. The color scheme is really fun and brings a lot to the cake design itself, both give it a fun and modern twist.

I think it is such a fun way to share and announce such a special day!<br /><br />This is Owen's announcement. As always I was excited when Hayley, a good friend of mine, asked me to design the announcement for Owen's baptism. We re-vamped the initial color scheme a little and I love it! It think it gives a "grown man" feel but still has a reverent playfulness of a child--perfect for this type of occasion. (I also love his vest and tie, what a handsome guy!)<br /><br />Thanks for letting me be a small part of your special day!Brad & Erica Dixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02512082439396155486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110579825177251879.post-5521951822359947832011-07-10T13:34:00.000-07:002011-08-07T15:02:53.501-07:00Event Design: "Cute as a Button" Twins Baby ShowerIt's finally here! Photos from the "Cute as a Button" themed twin's baby shower. This was so much fun for me to work on, and I really loved the way it turned out. I think the cake was my favorite, who can resist realistic-looking fondant buttons? As mentioned before, I really loved the theme behind this shower as well as the color scheme which was carried through the invitations, cake, & cupcake designs. Check out the photos, and if you are interested in designs for an event/party of your own, I would love to hear from you!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-swCEimDoZoT1s1kMEpsoDcquLv1zVCtcLKdq74nflu43WgWPzbugq2Iz6-KzbWk1nAS-JNSLnGz3B4kexOU4-H37aCnbaA_7wLtSPebWPbegsF947OuuTdCL28Lus53VCB86mnUMnA2/s1600/CAKE%2526CUPCAKES.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-swCEimDoZoT1s1kMEpsoDcquLv1zVCtcLKdq74nflu43WgWPzbugq2Iz6-KzbWk1nAS-JNSLnGz3B4kexOU4-H37aCnbaA_7wLtSPebWPbegsF947OuuTdCL28Lus53VCB86mnUMnA2/s400/CAKE%2526CUPCAKES.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627827615802751586" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3ZCQgHjh8JLOpQX1GE7viwBk5RtAnw2DzHmFwRJIgx5UMBmQ1CvYONtunv3AcjqLQnoUz8ImXjeG3DF1fES1EvGJV2RXuS_OgmE3fPR-d4U7RFSPGHAQyZfDQE8GBP924kIfw7U6FsnLY/s1600/CUPCAKES.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3ZCQgHjh8JLOpQX1GE7viwBk5RtAnw2DzHmFwRJIgx5UMBmQ1CvYONtunv3AcjqLQnoUz8ImXjeG3DF1fES1EvGJV2RXuS_OgmE3fPR-d4U7RFSPGHAQyZfDQE8GBP924kIfw7U6FsnLY/s400/CUPCAKES.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627825863549134402" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKKskJQeVkbEm6HYJuC8R4H8GaMEHhKksrpsVQoCBwWcwxnU2Um8dWsmbeaLNmcqGdzOLraVUH7eYo011mTCv17y10DZOD2H4r3yl_lR1eGAbWYUXGluCc7p8a_yfXTatA3jd7s8_3TW-V/s1600/CAKE6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKKskJQeVkbEm6HYJuC8R4H8GaMEHhKksrpsVQoCBwWcwxnU2Um8dWsmbeaLNmcqGdzOLraVUH7eYo011mTCv17y10DZOD2H4r3yl_lR1eGAbWYUXGluCc7p8a_yfXTatA3jd7s8_3TW-V/s400/CAKE6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627825861461871362" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzgCRLXIZR7hkxcRufyMhFMsDAGl578VD9gmHKyaRivyLQS3n9WTQ-hxc_Hzo1v7vifGT94HcngPTF_M6bxtkFOvP52M8phYX-dgeTCid_JP4-zPBUOfl1nDgRsYF__Opc8fLZ92Kb2ti4/s1600/CAKE5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzgCRLXIZR7hkxcRufyMhFMsDAGl578VD9gmHKyaRivyLQS3n9WTQ-hxc_Hzo1v7vifGT94HcngPTF_M6bxtkFOvP52M8phYX-dgeTCid_JP4-zPBUOfl1nDgRsYF__Opc8fLZ92Kb2ti4/s400/CAKE5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627825856111398786" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF0sZ8LPweLs2jrqGjyFJv_q7YzbVN4IjQaXRwCMYpmlCDYwIO8l0jrYkZ6lBqkYG8xASl2uHYlZtJrT_r390TcP6_ObHrY07dMNyADwo3kRrTIBFvdzIbxv11PJ9oQwktGiHQXbTiJ0td/s1600/invitation_blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF0sZ8LPweLs2jrqGjyFJv_q7YzbVN4IjQaXRwCMYpmlCDYwIO8l0jrYkZ6lBqkYG8xASl2uHYlZtJrT_r390TcP6_ObHrY07dMNyADwo3kRrTIBFvdzIbxv11PJ9oQwktGiHQXbTiJ0td/s400/invitation_blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627826376411212930" border="0" /></a>Brad & Erica Dixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02512082439396155486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110579825177251879.post-81797707199405303412011-06-30T15:54:00.000-07:002011-06-30T16:08:05.743-07:00Sneak Peek: "Cute As A Button" Twin's Baby Shower<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPTmnSKe4zaXePQcLTqmg-s3nN4uuVHwBeo9PNPBccrP5rymAGu4ViJG4hdZ6zDR4Z-MwIl9PFiVJZwBQ73TR8NpvGqm8rbjKdYG6-fZ0S9KjDQJksKZWcszlNE4SMuvLwlufJ-Tf8n3kK/s1600/invitation_blog.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPTmnSKe4zaXePQcLTqmg-s3nN4uuVHwBeo9PNPBccrP5rymAGu4ViJG4hdZ6zDR4Z-MwIl9PFiVJZwBQ73TR8NpvGqm8rbjKdYG6-fZ0S9KjDQJksKZWcszlNE4SMuvLwlufJ-Tf8n3kK/s400/invitation_blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624153494608331410" border="0" /></a><br />I have been excited about this latest project I've been working on! And I have to admit, I am often found daydreaming up ideas & details for this event.<br /><br />A friend of mine is throwing a baby shower for her sister, who is expecting twins, and asked if I would design the invite for it as well as do a cake and cupcakes for the shower. I love entertaining and parties, and I love design. So there was NO way I could turn down a request like this!<br /><br />The idea for the shower was initially based on polka dots. Blue, pink, and brown to be exact. I then threw out the idea to "spice up" the polka dot theme a bit and turn them into buttons. Super cute. I also love the idea of using the traditional pink/blue, girl/boy color scheme and throwing brown into the mix to give the two colors a more modern/unified look. Here is the invitation design..... stay tuned for the cake & cupcake designs--coming next week!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPvlz08a-jAToJ_JAuONXSU0ZCYBna09Zdmcbr7uHFB7HXW5N4gNmCQnmcKWjdOBN7sFTa9Meo52ByryHwHoCHoQkekIYNtgg7T4lkqqeKVO9rpRHTH3k0pbGs6SJ1abg-6oK_WQMBE7bx/s1600/invitation.jpg"><br /></a>Brad & Erica Dixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02512082439396155486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110579825177251879.post-49654546881179015222011-06-18T08:36:00.001-07:002011-08-18T16:02:46.612-07:00Logo : Eat Marketing ---Contest Winner!!You know all of the contests I've been entering and blogging about?

<br />Eat Marketing is a business who's mission is to help restaurants get more customers through their doors. Ronald, from Eat Marketing, was great to work with and had some good insight of his own. The logo is simplistic yet sophisticated--in both color & overall design.
<br />
<br />Yipee! I am really excited to have some of my work displayed on websites, company stationary, and advertising by a company---and a company outside the states, at that!Brad & Erica Dixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02512082439396155486noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110579825177251879.post-8033897506178663732011-06-15T15:15:00.001-07:002011-06-15T15:27:36.488-07:00Dohner Family<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVfqzfFbMScr8-zCy6AdB9J2orP3aMrYPosgDjGKv7O8v71fzdxVJr61bw3z6S6fhlxEwTSCcSIy6bvAXS2hJykn-8yfVdApzU3q0u6dGHnKnWwBvlegKI-5E1RjlefSnhSvmhrBEbvkxQ/s1600/dohner_2011june-1-6.jpg"><img style="display:block;
