weekend update :: hilton head island, sc

wow. does hilton head have tons to offer? seems like to me its going to be my new vacationing spot.

friday night [very late] my family went to hilton head for a quick stay while the guys went shrimping. man. how awesome are fresh shrimp. not too much beats them. we found a gorgeous little condo beach front. the weather was perfect, the shopping was ideal, and family time was exactly what i needed. we laughed, cried [because we were laughing] and hardly slept. we watched the guys bring in their catches that made us proud, had plenty of driving (mis)adventures, and jammed to oldies while driving with the windows down. couldn't have asked for a better weekend. sunday before heading back home, we decided to explore Harbor town, and oh my what fun that was. we enjoyed walking around at the harbor, looking through gift shops, dreaming about being on one of the huge yachts, and ate great seafood at one of the waterfront restaurants. so. much. fun. we finished up our trip with some ice cream from salty dog cafe. enjoy the photos :)

oh yea. i can't forget the lighthouse in hilton head, and the dolphin sightings on the beach. priceless.

so where's your next vacation? here.

.. up to lately

Well hi! Its been quite a while, I know. I'm sorry for all of you guys who faithfully look forward to my post.

So what have I been doing? Transitioning. I've been working as a full time graphic designer with my side stationery/photography business. Its fun and full of lovely art. I wouldn't have it any other way.

So, here's 2 of my past projects.

First off, all the blue. The bride wanted a pretty light blue flower worked into all of her designs. We had so much fun with the paper stock. Its hard to tell, but its a stark white metallic paper. Such fun. It was backed with a cardstock and then assembled with the embossed "M" stickers on the back. Such a cute and creative finish to their custom wedding stationery. I was also given the priviledge to create their save the dates (previous to their invitations) and their wedding books as well.

Secondly, the beach wedding. What a gorgeous wedding this was. Sunrise, mimosas and all. The theme was the sand dollars and rich browns. Turned out great. The bride gave me the honor of creating wedding invitations, thank you cards, and tags for the gifts. Such fun.








To leave you with two bands/songs I'm crushing on right now...
