Packaging Fun & Inspiration! Part Two!

Part two is here! Two weeks ago I shared how I am incorporating embossing into my packaging, you can check that out here, now I will share with you my DIY stationary! I absolutely love hand writing letters in this new age where mail is becoming more old fashioned, I am one of those people who is bummed when my mail box is empty!! I’ve been wanting to do something more for my clients, so I thought what better way then personalizing my presentation, so they are excited when they receive mail from me! I purchased envelopes that match my brand from Paper Presentation, as well as liners, though when I am ready to restock, I will be buying in person from Paper Source. While I was at Paper Source picking up embossing items, the fabulous employee gave me a quick how to on envelopes and liners. I had been planning on stick glueing the liners in, and I am sooo much happier she told me about the double sided tape roller they have, saved me so much time and mess.

What I used:
2 different colored envelopes from Paper Presentation
2 liners of opposite color from Paper Presentation
Double sided tape from Paper Source

Stamped with my custom stamp and white ink, as well as embossed! I did a mixture of regular stamps and then some are embossed with my logo.

*Not shown, I hadn’t inserted the liners or stamped/embossed many of them yet when I photographed them, they are now all down and ready to be sent out whenever a fabulous client needs anything I can mail!

Up next, my hand painted business cards!!

Erica Toney - Love them!

Addison Harlow, sweet child of mine. | 4th Birthday Styled Shoot

Dear Addison,

Sweet child of mine, I can’t believe you are already 4 years old. How the years have flown by, and how you’ve grown in the blink of an eye. You were born in Florida but now you are a Cali girl, through and through, with your golden curls and bright blue eyes, it’s impossible not to want to give you the world. You are already so brave and so kind, and so very ambitious. Everyday you ask to be taller so that you can reach, or bigger so you can stay up late at night, and everyday I ask God to slow down the clock so I may have more time with you. I love you with all of my heart and I hope you had fun on your photo shoot, that you so sweetly bragged about to everyone.

Love,
Mama

She was a bit frightened by the sparkler lol.

Max + Jamie | San Diego Engagement Photographer

I met Max years ago when I was still in the Navy, in Florida. Jamie is definitely the right girl for Max and you can tell by how much fun they had with each other (and me right?? lol!) the whole session! Jamie chose Balboa Park and it ended up being the perfect backdrop for these two. Max literally just left on deployment so I am glad we were able to squeeze this in before he left! We even had a few laughs during the session because we ended up all three matching in the mint green (just like my logo!) and wondered how funny that must have looked to other people.

Jessica - Fun place to shoot!
