And The Winner Is: Vittas Style

Here is a new bit I will be doing! Usually when I work on something for someone I come up with a few designs and then they choose the one they love! Then sadly the other designs I made just live in a folder with their name on it indefinitely. So, I thought I would at least let them see the light of day just one time on my blog!

FIRST UP - the Vittas family.  It is a tricky way that I know this sweet family - and even thought we haven't spent a lot of face time together, I sort of love them.  Some of that is because they are excellent friends of people that I love dearly, and some of that is that they love baseball in a way that delights me. At any rate - I was lucky enough to do birth announcements for them - and these are they had to chose from. (How cute is this fam?)

 So, they picked a style the sort-of liked, and we revised and revised and came up with the final product!!

Customers I love: Austin

Meet sweet sweet Sage!!

How cute is this kid?

It is through a convoluted web off connections that Carey (Sage's hip mom) and I know each other.  She is the sister of, the husband of, my best friend Gin (3 plus, 4 plus, carry the one ....).  At any rate - now we know each other and Carey has been kind enough to use my little company for a shower for my best friend (her sister-in-law) ...

Multi-lingual thanks note - right up Gin's ally

Cute cupcake toppers

THEN, Gin used me for a shower for Carey!

Peacock Invite - this is along the theme lines of Sage's darling room!

Gotta have a thanks note to match

I'll be honest, I love a short name banner

And topped off with cupcake toppers

Well, you would think Carey Austin had enough of me. Nope. She let me design her birth announcements.  She described what she wanted and sent me a gaggle of dar-ling pictures, and let me go to work. Here are some of the designs I sent her!

And here is the announcement she picked! Side note here, Carey was so fantastic to work with - she knew exactly what she liked and where to put things and had hip, lovely ideas for customizing this announcement to her hearts' delight!  People often apologize "I'm sorry if I'm being picky", "I hope you don't mind, but" - mind? I love it - tell me exactly how to make this perfect.  You have the vision in your head, I have the {marginal} illustrator skills to help that vision come to print - so by all means, pick away!!!

The pic for this announcement was stinkin' cute, which didn't hurt anything either, and I am so glad I got to participate in capturing such a monumental moment in a new family's life.

 So, welcome - Sage - Thank you, Carey - and in a round about way - thank you Gin!
