designsgirl was recruited recently to do projects for a baby shower for a special client's friend.
I was able to use my "hello love" hand made pom pom place cards for the shower which matched perfectly with the baby blue and brown colored theme and also do chalkboard lettering which is always great fun.
Isn't this chalkboard fabulous?
designsgirl has an unquenchable passion for wrapping pretty packages. It is a creative endeavor that allows me to use my imagination with items that I have in my studio drawers and on my shelves.
Here, I tore out pages from an old book that had the most vibrant of insect illustrations.
designsgirl loves using Hester & Coook kitchen papers to wrap gifts. Here I wrapped a box with a circular Hester & Cook floral placemat and affixed a dried anemone to it with purple Washi tape.
designsgirl is giddy with excitement as she pursues one of her new year's goals- learning photography.
Her studio is filled floor to ceiling with a new strobe kit consisting of high-powered monolights, soft boxes, and umbrellas so she can create beautiful blog photos.
Here is a test shot with a package wrapped in a scented drawer liner atop a bundle of flowers left over from a magazine shoot.
designsgirl loves the holidays because it gives her the opportunity to wrap pretty packages.
Here, I used a wallpaper sheet and a small fresh boxwood wreath to adorn a friend's Christmas present.
The luxurious wallpapers of today are not your grandmother's stodgy wallpapers.
For a recent wallpaper installation, designsgirl was left with the most beautiful samples and she immediately thought "gift wrap".
Thank you to designer Denise Costerus who gave me these samples from which to play.
I am always excited to find unique items to embellish packages.
I found these patinaed reindeer bells at L'Arrangement in my hometown of Castle Rock and fell in love with them at first sight.
I have had the blessing of both a father and a husband as my superheroes. They are the most exquisite examples of fine men- both toughminded but tenderhearted; genuine; kind; brilliant and spilling over with character exemplified in their actions.
The example of my father certainly ensured that I would marry a similar make.
Today, I celebrate my 7th wedding anniversary with my superhero affectionately know as "Lamb Chops".
What delight to live with a superhero and marvel at his fineness everyday.
Gilding magically turns the most mundane object into a treasure. These "Toob" farm animals from Michael's Craft Store received a coating of metallic spray paint on their way to becoming ornaments for a toddler's birthday gift.
