October 10, 2014

August 29, 2014

Put together triangles and monochromatic colors and you have a invitation I’m going to love. When I sat down to design this invite I wasn’t sure what I was going to end up with. I had had this idea for a rip-off rsvp/voting card that wasn’t going to work, partly because I’m not getting my invites […]

{baby sprinkle} what to wear

June 13, 2014

When deciding what to wear to a baby shower I think it is all about comfort and simplicity. What better way to accomplish that than using a maxi dress as a skirt. A piece already in your closet gets a whole new look and life! Plus, no last minute shopping. Since most of the outfit is gray […]
