A Very Merry {un}Birthday

For my 25th Birthday, I really wanted to do something special, different, and fun with some of my close friends. A Wonderland Tea Party. In the park. With lots of tea and goodies. And the new movie by Tim Burton! Here's a sneak peak at the invitations I designed for the event. (Notice the 'hot' envelope lining...) These really make me smile. Printed by Czar Press, I think they turned out fabulous!

"Nice and Easy does it..."

Lisa Ramsland Grad Announcement

Here's the digital version of some graduation announcements I designed for my friend, Lisa. She doesn't care for red too much, so we made it a burgundy color and chose a teal blue to accent a cream cardstock (when printed, of course). Congrats, Lisa! It was a pleasure to design these for you!

Seattle for the Weekend

A couple weeks ago, Amy and I flew up to Seattle, Washington for the weekend. Amy's brother, his girlfriend, and their two boston terriers let us stay with them for a few days. With cameras in hand and desire for a change of scenery at heart, we prepared for some serious sight-seeing and unplanned adventure.

James Turrell's skyspace at the University of Washington was brilliant!

The view from the Cascades National Forest was beautiful!

(The waterfront near the aquarium.)

Pike's Place Market was seriously one of the coolest places ever!

...and we HAD to visit the 1st ever Starbucks.

(I just really liked this drain pipe.)

We met up with Terese while we were there!

...and went to the Space Needle and the EMP by Frank Gehry.

...and saw a piece of the Berlin wall... no joke!

...and basked in the rosy light of that marvelous structure...

a beautiful view of the city.

A fabulous last-minute adventure in one of the prettiest cities I've seen yet. Aims, thanks so much for your company and friendship! You made it so much more fun. :)

Temecula Wine Country

A little while back, my friend, Angelina, and I got to visit the Temecula Wine Country for a day and had a wonderful time wine tasting and enjoying some good quality time together... in the summer desert heat. ha ha.

Ang and I stopped for some wine and cheese at Thornton before the first tasting.

The vineyards at Callaway were BEAUTIFUL!

...and the chocolate truffles weren't bad either! : )

we had a bunch of fun at South Coast and their spectacular grounds

Then on to Ponte for some great food, lovely outdoor patio, and Angelina's Cabernet Cream Gelato! Yum!

All in all, a lovely day in the southern California wine country.
