SPOTTED | Art Deco Heart Save the Date on OnceWed!

It's always fun to see how our clients use our save the date & invitation stamps customized to their wedding vision. Today, we stumbled upon Morgan & Patricks wedding featured on the lovely wedding blog, OnceWed. We adore the tonal quality of the print and the modern feel our hand lettered "Art Deco" save the date stamp gives the otherwise soft cream & kraft card.

So Inspired | Peach Smores

I saw this video over at Dustjacket Attic and had to share it.

B and I made cinnamon pumpkin smores for our photo shoot with Paige. They were delicious but these look even better!

Looking Forward to: 2012 postage stamps Part I

It is with much excitement that we look forward to some of the new stamp designs being released in 2012.

We always take great care in picking the postage for each invitation suite we put together and we LOVE it when the postal service happens to have great stamp designs.

Mixing new and vintage postage can save time and money.
