I get affection of all things new from my mom. She likes to shop and getting new things and trinkets, especially shiny trinkets. 😉 But ever since I came along, she seems to get my second-hand old goods – especially my cell phones. It started a few years ago, and she’s gone through a couple of my second-hand phones. Don’t get me wrong, these phones were still good, they just weren’t new.
So for Mother’s Day this year, I decided to get her a custom iPhone case. My iPhone 4, *ahem* I mean her, case now has some fancy protection.
So if you’ve been reading my latest blog posts the month of May has been such a blessed time! I’ve been so fortunate to have been given all these gifts, I thought I’d spread the love. So, we’re going to be giving away some free stuff (and who doesn’t like free stuff)!

For my loyal readers (if, in fact, I have any) you’ll remember my old post about Sergio and Imelda’s Save the Dates. Well the days of saving the date have come and gone so quickly. A couple weeks ago, we finished the design for their wedding invitations! Working with these two were amazing. They were easy to communicate with, a pleasure to work with, and are just great people in general! I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!
Now, for the design! We obviously wanted to go with a similar look and feel as the Save the Dates but my goal was to give it some fresh life and its own personality. I didn’t want the invites to be a boring repeat of what their guests have already seen. So, we went with a bold red for the pocket, the same red for the names, and subtle artwork to accent the design.
Full Invitation Suite
For the invitation card, we wanted to carry through a similar look to the Save the Date cards, so we went with the same right alignment with the same fonts for their names and body text.
Invite Card
To balance the heavy amount of text on the right, we added some art on each left corner to add some personality and weight.
Invite Card
Sergio and Imelda had some requirements on their RSVP card, and I think we were able to design them nicely. We went with a left alignment of the type for an easy read and balanced the heading with artwork in the same shade.

The thing I love most about their suite? The contrast of color! Between the creams and reds, they had such a rich and warm color palette. I love when clients aren’t scared of adding vibrant colors!
