Expert Advice, BDR-studio at Martha Stewart Weddings

Someone decided that I am an expert, and when that someone is Martha Stewart, the least that I can do is agree! When Erin at Martha asked me to contribute, it was like, 'oh heck yes!' -- so off I went , expert-ing it up!

She asked me to write something short and sweet that would give brides-(and grooms)-to-be the insider scoop. Believe it or not, I create a lot of wedding invitations (I do not create a lot of photographic evidence of them), so I figured the theme, Wedding Invitation Inspiration, would fit the bill. Check out all that I had to say here.

P.S. I still can't believe this happened, OMG.

Happy Accidents

Sometimes lovely things happen when you least expect them to, in this case, it's a party on paper. Two designs, two different press runs, one wonderful and inspirational (for me anyway) outcome.

Staying Afloat

Oh hello! So it turns out that buisness is booming, ow ow! But that means blogger fail. But hey, things could be worse, right? Now, to get things back on track ...

I spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Ucluelet, BC (Oh Canada!) with some dear friends and we had a few moments to bum around the marina. Here are a few shots of the inspiration that was found.

I heart the hand painted letters. And the deterioration. And the colors. :)
