Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Invite - Aquarium

We are just back from my husband's cousin's wedding in North Carolina.  It was a lovely weekend wedding with quite a few festivities leading up to the big event.  One of the events was the rehearsal dinner and I was honored that they asked me to design the invitation.  The evening was just wonderful and was held at the beautiful North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.  Congratulations to Stephen and Katie!

Nursery Wallpaper!

To welcome the birth of my first nephew next month, my sister commissioned me to make a wallpaper border for the nursery!  Together we designed the border based on a Lilly Pulitzer invite and then my friends at HP made it into wallpaper.  The HP technology is really cool (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKzN2cwdLeg ) and will be offered to the public this winter (fingers crossed)!
