Artwork for Online for Life

What a great honor to have some of my artwork on a series for Online for Life's newsletter back in the spring of this year.
I just love and admire their work to save babies and love women!

Cutest proposal idea :: The Bebez Book

Friend and creative genius Bryan proposed to his darling lady Robbi with the most precious and clever idea of writing her a children's story. The two of them as kids... with Robbi's beloved lab, Marti as a pup. Each page is centered around a letter of the alphabet, describing what she means to him and it's just one adorable adventure with lots of personal flair. Of course, when we get to the W page, she was in for a huge surprise as he asked her to be his wife in the exact location as illustrated. (Marti was tied to the bench and he even had a plaid shirt on!)

Bryan came up with every single detail in each scene, so I had a blast just helping his funny vignettes come to life. It was my huge honor to get to be part of this project! Way to set the bar high for all the single men left in the universe :)

Graphic Design: Baby girl name announcement

My friend Ashleigh {of Thankfully Thrifty} and her husband wanted to announce to friends and family their daughter's name in a special way. They also wanted to share the meaning of the beautiful name they had labored over and give specific ways to pray for baby girl's life. I love it.

Here's where we landed. Noble, feminine, and crisp for a sweet family.



[Thanks, Ash!]

New lens + Hill country

I am completely in hog heaven with my new lens. Yes. Here was my first snap.



Got it just in time to capture some of our adventures to the Hill country with dear friends.



We were a happy bunch. [Kerbey Lane on our way through Austin]




We enjoyed lots of porch time at the B&B, strolled, shopped and soaked up time away. And ate like kings.  And saw Texas Hill country critters near and far.




Thankful.

Graphic Design: a uniquely FUN couples shower invitation

For a creative friend and shower hostess extraordinaire, Allison. [Thanks, friend!]

They had this great entertainment theme in mind, so we ran with it! Bold, names in lights, little bit of Broadway, little bit of Vegas... Lots of fun to design.

Smoochin' Contest

Just for kicks (and maybe, well, the lure of possible prize$...) hubby and I created some kiss photos (complete with bad Photoshopping) for the marriage conference we were part of last weekend. (Amazing! You can and should catch some of the audio.)
So 3000 people were encouraged to send in creative kissing photos. Sounds like a great idea!

These were tons of fun, so I thought I'd share them and add them to my portfolio to pull down my serious post average.

These are all Uncommon kisses you may not have heard of but we thought you should try:

The Upside-down Spider Man


The Navy Seaman


The Conference


The Oscar-worthy


The Meatball Special


The Mona Lisa


The 007


and my favorite,
The I'll Never Let Go


May your marriage be enriched by these gems ;)
