communion season

/

Such beauties inside and out. Where are the photos of the boys? I just had a weekend full of photo sessions of handsome fellows and we'll showcase them next week.

We are knee deep in Communion Season 2011. Communion invitations are in the mail or out at the printer.  Canvases are being printed. Thank you cards are being designed and keepsakes are being created. There's bursts of creative energy flying around the studio. I guess it could help that the windows have been open a bit more. Spring is in the air.

A huge thank you for everyone that came out for a photo shoot. Every session has been so relaxing and enjoyable. More to come.

I started my week with a mimosa, beach side, in 84º weather in Ft. Lauderdale with girlfriends. What can top that you say?

Ending the week with the most loyal friends, family and clients. If you have a business of your own, you soon find out that your company is your baby, your passion. It's a give-everything-you-got attitude to get the job done better than perfect. Someone once said to me, "You'll always be the one that cares the most" (referring to owning your own business). While I understand that, I am also astounded and speechless by the loyalty you have to my "baby". I will forever be grateful for that.

This week I watched Silverbox move up the charts in a Party Planning contest. At the beginning of the week, I was just happy to be on the list with the 150 industry super stars. I never imagined we'd be in 13th place by week's end because of your votes.

I sincerely thank you.

A few other Silverbox in-the-news items... Blurb chose one of our book designs for book of the week! While we can't take most of the credit, due to it's extraordinary contents, we did have a hand in it. You can view it here. I'm telling you, it's a must read/see. The book's artist is Millicent Harvey. One of the most extraordinary photographers that I have met in my lifetime.

Sunday is filled with communion sessions. All boys! I can't wait for those handsome fellows.

Next week I'm getting ready to gear up and head to BrandCamp and mingle with some of the most passionate business owners in our industry. I am so looking forward to this.

Here's to another great week behind us. TGIF

vintage circus invitation

/

Each year I have the distinct honor of designing the invitations for this school's Fun Fair. This year's theme...the Circus. I decided to step outside of the box and not use the expected red, but create more of a light an airy vintage look.

I simply rolled up a white sheet of paper into a cone and wrapped tulle around it. It was as easy as that! These invitations will be hand delivered to each classroom, bagged up as you'd see it at the circus. Ooh, I can't wait to do this for a little girl's circus vintage pink birthday. Any takers?...step right up!

communion invitation + photo session

Introducing a true Super Star! Don't let these formal photos fool you. We talked about our favorite American Idol, iCarley, and girly conversation the entire session. We had a casual shoot a week or two in advance to design communion invitations, and the formal pictures at a later time, that will be displayed on her special day with a canvas and easel.

We like to consider ourselves a one-stop-shop for your special event needs. From invitations to thank you notes and everything in-between. Thank you to this beautiful family for entrusting Silverbox for your very special day.
