Turtle baby shower invite

I love doing baby shower invites. The mom usually has a theme for the nursery so I play off of those colors and designs. I was told that the mom-to-be wanted to have turtles on it, so this is what I came up with. 

Programs for Nicki

I met Nicki and Lisa Wilmer through my best friends mom, Susan Allen. Susan had refered Lisa to me to do her daughters wedding programs. It was so nice to work with people other than my friends and family (no offence to any of my friends or family members, I LOVE your business, but it is always great to expand). I did a few sample designs for Nicki, and it just happened that her place settings for the reception were a Damask design, so that is the one we went with. The programs turned out fantastic! There were 2 different types of ribbon used because I bought out all the ribbon in the color and style I needed from 2 Joann stores!


Dani will soon be a Hallahan.

I finished the wedding invites for Danielle Van Yush a while ago, but seeing as I forget that I now have a blog, I never posted the pictures. I promise to try and keep up with this a little bit better.

I'm a blogger??

So, this is my first blog, ever. I really have no idea what I am doing and I can honestly say that I never thought this would happen, but it is strictly for Blacky Designs. If I happen to throw in my opinion or a story time to time, then that is just a little look into the world of Kara. I figured this would be a good place to keep track of jobs I am working on as well as the final products. So hopefully I will remember to update this every once in a while.
