Peach & Teal Crazy

Just finished working on the cutest peach and teal invitation and now I'm officially obsessed with this color combo. Thoughts of redoing our entire apartment color scheme have entered the brain. 

Colorful February

Feeling so excited, inspired, and motivated right now. February has been treating me well so far. Here are some of my latest Instagram photos. I'm no photographer but it sure makes me feel like I am!

Talk to Me

Shannon and I had a great time coming up with this cootie catcher for you to download. I loved these when I was little! (even though I didn't learn to make one until a few weeks ago) What a fun little way for you and your girlfriends to get the encouragement/motivation you've been needing. Or maybe just an excuse to take that nap you've been longing after.

You can download the cootie catcher file right here!

Invitation Feature: Bryce and Lindsay Fickas

Lindsay was Narwhal Paper's first official customer and I had a blast designing their fun and whimsical invitations. Here's what Lindsay had to say about the invitation process!

"Before we even got engaged, Bryce and I knew we wanted to get married out at his grandparents' house. It's so incredibly special to him and is absolutely beautiful! After this was decided, we based our entire wedding around it. We really wanted to keep a rustic yet playful feeling, and I started to search for the perfect invitations. After looking through countless designs and failing terribly at making my own, I remembered Lindsay casually saying at the beginning of our engagement that she could design them. I asked her if she was still willing and was so excited when she said yes! She instantly went to work and asked me questions about as many details as possible. She knew everything from the color scheme to the mason jars we were using for decoration. When I got to see the final product, I was blown away. They were so personal and perfect! After I sent them out, compliments started flooding in. The invitations set such a wonderful feel for the wedding. They even helped inspire me for last minute details. Even today, they remain my favorite part of our wedding!"

Wow! How sweet was that? You can see more custom invitations right here.

Love and Hearts

I know, I know...Valentine's Day has become kind of cheese ball. But to me it's all about being thoughtful to the people you love. Wouldn't it be great to get one of these babies in the mail from a friend? Oh and bonus for you, they're classic enough to be used year round.

You can pick them up right here, friends!

And the winner is...

Pinterest Faves

Most of you probably know about Pinterest already but in case you haven't heard, it's pretty dang awesome. It's fun to be able to see your style more clearly when its all in the same spot. For instance, I apparently have a thing for dark gray walls and stripes. Good to know! Did you know that Pinterest is catching on the most in the Midwest? For once, we're the trendsetters!
