My friends Irina + Daniel are expecting the arrival of a baby boy next month. It’s always exciting when your friends start having babies; it’s endless adorableness all over the place. The couple wanted to have a nature-inspired shower with lots of green foliage. So for their invitations, I cut out nine leaves and one pacifier for each set. The foliage pieces were secured with a dab of glue and given a piece of mint washi tape across the stem to make them look like they were taped instead of glued down; the pacifier was hung from a piece of metallic silver string. The invitations were then coordinated with recycled kraft envelopes and sealed with metallic silver circle stickers.

Just wanted to let you all know of something that’s coming very soon. Not too long ago, I joined forces with a friend of mine. Her name is Colleen and she runs a photography company called Colleen Amelia. She’s not only a talented photographer, but has a way with calligraphy that’s to die for — and that’s what all this is about!

We met on Instagram and since we’re from the same area, decided to meet up one day and things took off from there. She’s an adorable person and I’m thrilled that we were given the chance to meet up and become friends. So as a result, get ready to start seeing little sneak peeks of what we’re working on together. I’ll be posting updates here and there, but most sneak peeks you’ll find over on my Instagram. I posted some photos from her site to give you a little taste of her incredibleness:
