One fun flyer for one really great organization!

I was so happy to help out and design this flyer for the Hearts of Gold organization in NYC recently! National Clean Out Your Closet Week starts today, March 13th. If you are in the NYC or surrounding area, get organized during this week and donate to Hearts of Gold's resale boutique, The Thrifty Hog in Chelsea, where all donations go to support homeless mothers and children in the New York City area.  Read more about The Thrifty Hog boutique and Hearts of Gold on their website: www.heartsofgold.org, or check out their Facebook page for more info about the National Clean Out Your Closet Week drive and The Thifty Hog, located at 11 West 25th Street, between Broadway and 6th Avenue. If you are not in the NYC area, it is still a great week to do some spring cleaning and organizing and take your donations to your own local, charitable thrift stores. 

Stay tuned this week for some gorgeous wedding photos from a recent wedding I just loved designing the paper goods for! These photos are beautiful and I cannot wait to share!

Have a great week!

An Adorable Winter Pool Party Bash!

I was so excited to be asked again to design a custom invitation & favor tags for a wonderful customer of mine - this time in a bright and fun pool party theme! Jennifer’s little girl Kaitlyn turned 5 in February, and the winter season didn’t stop them from enjoying a favorite summer time theme – a pool party! Kaitlyn’s party was held at an indoor pool, where she and her friends enjoyed a day full of splashing fun and games! Jennifer always creates the cutest parties for her girls (in the past I've helped her with invitations & party goodies for a pretty Pinkalicious birthday and a Hopping Froggy party!) and this one was no exception. From the delivery of the invitations (each guest received the invite with a pair of flip flops), to the treats (friends look-a-like swimming girl cupcakes, colorful fish cupcakes and flip flop cookies) and favors (cute summer sunglasses), Jenn created a festive, colorful, pool party for Kaitlyn, who I am positive will remember this fun birthday for years to come. Below are some photos of the invitation and favor tags I designed, and some other adorable photos from the party that I had to share! Jenn did a fabulous job on Kait's 5th birthday pool party bash!

The invitation I designed for Jenn. She delivered each one with a pair of flip flops! Love this idea!

Flip Flop Cookies & Umbrella Drinks

Kait's mom Jenn made these CUTE swimming girl cupcakes to resemble Kait and each of her friends! Adorable!!

I love these fish cupcakes! She had them in purple, pink and aqua.

So, designing this invitation and favor tag for Jenn really must have put me in the mood for some summer parties, because in the days after I designed this for her, I designed about 10 new kids party invitations, most of which are in a summer theme (think beach & crab theme, lemonade and ice cream!)... I will post more about all of my new designs soon, but in the mean time you can view them all, along with this Flip Flop Pool Party Bash invitation in my shop, here. 

Have a great week!

Loving my blog & site visitors!

Just a quick note to say I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and holiday celebration! I know I did and I'm looking forward to a wonderful 2011, with so many exciting developments for Inkberry and all of my sites to come in the new year! As busy as I get every single day, I never forget to check my stats to see my site visitors from all over the WORLD! It's truly interesting to see how far my designs reach, and it is part of what I love so much about being a designer and doing what I do. Even based in Virginia, I'm able to create custom designs for anyone, anywhere! And I love this blog because it is an easy way for me to keep my true fans, friends, customers and biggest supporters updated on all the latest news with Inkberry. I have seen many recurring visits lately, from many recognizable locations and computers not just on my blog, but my website as well. Typically I love this, when I know it is a customer or fan coming to see their designs posted, or order matching items, or just checking in to say hi or tell me about an upcoming event they are starting to plan. I truly love my fans, customers and friends and am looking forward to an awesome 2011, filled with fun new items, announcements, changes and more!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week, and a fabulous NEW YEAR celebration!! :)
