Anniversary Party

My (amazingly awesome) parents celebrated their 25th Wedding anniversary back in October (and yes...I'm just getting around to posting this). My sister and I had a plan to throw them a surprise party with immediate family. At the time my dad was working crazy shifts at his job, and knowing my parents are low-key & don't like big to-do's about themselves, I finally broke down (aka ruined the surprise) and asked my mom what night would work best for them & if they would mind. While they appreciated the thoughtfulness they suggested that they'd rather spend some time with just us kids than have a big shi-bang, which was fine with me--after all it was THEIR anniversary. However I wanted to post a few designs that I created in anticipation for doing the surprise party because I loved the way they turned out.

With silver being the 25th wedding anniversary color I wanted to be sure it was incorporated into the color theme, to which I added black & turquoise to give it sort of a modern-flare feel.

Valentine's 2010

I love any excuse to make "pretty" treats and give to people, and Valentine's Day happens to be one of those excuses. Not only do I love making the treat itself look cute, I especially love packaging, tagging, and adding my own special details to them. (Luckily I work with a whole office full of women who can appreciate this obsession). This year my mom and I chocolate-dipped and pink-sprinkled Oreo cookies, put them in bags, tied them with an appropriate "red lipstick kiss" ribbon and finished it off with a tag I designed. I loved the typography used for the tag, I thought it looked clean and simple yet still created the Valentine day theme using words and colors reminiscent of the holiday .

Peach Jam

I am attempting to make some peach freezer jam this weekend, here's the label I created. I've never done this before so it could be very interesting....but hey, at least the jar will look good even if the jam doesn't, right?
