The Momental Girls and Daniel Lanton

Daniel has a great eye for color and contrast and this is exactly what drew me to his work. Daniel blogs his super moody, artistic work nearly every day […]

Well Said – Invitation Wording Anatomy Series – Introduction
Nearly every day I receive inquiries regarding invitation wording. Now we all know that a simple google search under “invitation wording etiquette” will produce a bevy of options to craft your invitation prose.

We spent nearly an hour rummaging through the trims and […]
A Peek into the Studio – Breezy design, great reads and a bit of travel!

Inspired Ink – Suspended Orchids
I explore Karen Tran’s blog and website almost daily and each time I visit I notice something new.

For this week’s Inspired Ink post I created a Cascading Vintage Lacy design in shades of ecru, […]
