This year’s Venture Outdoors Festival poster that *Mr. Project* & I designed together for the upcoming Festival that my friend Aimee puts on every year. I am so happy how it came out! Definitely a “portfolio piece” for my professional work.

If you’re in the Salt Lake area, you should really try and attend this great festival. Such a great family activity with some great entertainment too — and its FREE. The fire dancers from Incendiary Circus at the end are my FAVORITE part, so be sure to stay till the end!

Gift Wrap Snap

I wanted to share my newest hybrid Project. Printable gift boxes! These are great because you always have them on hand! No running to the store to get favor boxes or gift-card boxes etc. Just print, cut and glue! I put together 5 great sets that I knew I would use. I printed one of each for these preview photos and they are sitting in my living room looking SO cute that I’m trying to find an excuse to use them. The little square boxes are especially handy if you want to put cupcakes in box for a favor. All of the files are set up for an 11×17 sheet but can easily be shrunk down to print on an 8.5×11 sheet (though they are smaller, they are still great for small favor boxes & gift cards).

These kits are available to purchase on Tuesday May 19th. They sell for $6.00/kit and each kit comes with 3 boxes and 1 tag (JPG) that you can print as many times as you like! If you’re looking for something a little different Carina and I worked on this project together, and she’s releasing 6 additional kits on the same day. 

These two kits are great for birthday parties and gifts:

And this set is just beautiful printed out. I had tons of fun adding ribbon and tags.

The Best Photographer! AKA: My Wedding Picks

May 14th, 2009

As my regular readers know, I recently got married. I have been patiently waiting to see my photos and my fabulous photographer Kelli Nicole put some amazing ones up on her blog yesterday. I am so happy with them, they are gorgeous!! I wanted to share them with you, so here is a quick sampling, but check out her BLOG for more great shots! If you are in the need of any family/baby/wedding photos, Kelli is your gal. And best of all, she travels all over, so you never know, she just might be in your area soon. I think she is in Houston right now.

See if you can spot Carina below:

My Mind’s Eye Goodie Bag – NSD Give-away

May 6th, 2009

As promised, I have taken pictures of the MME goodie bag that I’m giving away for NSD. I went through my statsh and found a complete set of Penny Lane Papers! So beautiful, all double-sided textured cardstock with lovely illustrations by Deena Rutter. The Complete set has 40 Sheets of paper – I think that 12 are die-cut. I tried to take pictures that did the papers justice, but they didn’t turn out really well. You can check out all the designs at the MME website.

To take that shot that I had to stand on my bed and hold the camera over my head. Haha sorry again about the quality!

To win this lovely prize, be sure to leave a comment through Saturday May 9th on this post or the NSD post. I will randomly pick one lucky winner next week. Be sure to tell your friends!

Thanks for stopping by!
