Will You Be Mine? Valentine's Day 2013

Umm, yea, it's me. I'm sure you are all like "who is this girl and why is she blogging"!? Remember, I used to blog monthly about all things paper. Well, I know it's been a while... ok, more then a while. BUT, I have reasons... more like excuses, but good ones at that. Biggest change in my life is that I had a BABY!!! Yup, I did. She is perfect and I love everything about her. Audrey was born on Friday, June 22, 2012. Here's a little lookie at her and her perfectness, lol!

Needless to say, I have been a little behind on my blog. But, I'm BACK! I can't make any promises, but I will try to get back into my groove of posting about all things paper.

My first "better late then never" post is going to be about the super cute Valentine cards and tags I just finished designing. Valentine's Day is just around the corner and because I have my own little adorable, smiley, and lovable Valentine (sleeping upstairs as I speak) this year, I really got into designing some fun and festive Valentine cards for kids. Check 'em out~ and peace out.

Whitney English Clip Sheets on Oprah's Holiday Gift List!

One of my favorite products from my Paper Concierge shop, Whitney English Clip Sheets, was on Oprah's Holiday Gift List this year, again! These popular note sheets on a clipboard make great teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess or bridesmaid gifts! They are also ideal for your own to-do lists, honey-do lists and grocery lists. A stack of 75 personalized 5x7 loose note paper comes with a clear acetate clipboard that measures just slightly larger. The set, as shown here with a grosgrain ribbon, will be placed inside a Whitney English signature box with tissue, meaning you will not even have to wrap this darling gift yourself!

Check out the Photo Clip Sheets too! Adorable!

Christina & Brian - 10.10.09

Christina and Brian's wedding was a fabulous project for me! I was so thankful for them to give me the chance to really get knee deep into the design of their wedding. This is a couple who didn't always know what they wanted, but together we created a vision that kept right in the theme of their fabulous navy and hot pink glamorous wedding! They were married at the Cairnwood Mansion in Bryn Athen, PA. My husband and I were delighted to be invited to this amazing wedding!

The venue is a very "Old World", castle-like, beautiful on it's own sort of place! So when it came to creating a design to fit this look, I knew exactly where to go... SCROLL! Scroll work screams classic and elegance to me, and Christina agreed the first time I showed her a sample of what I had in mind!

Christina and Brian wanted it all from me... it was SO fun! We ended up doing Rehearsal invitations, Wedding ceremony programs, beverage napkins, matches for their cigar bar, and lastly favor labels for their super cute and fun Chinese take out boxes that held custom and hand painted Christmas ornaments for each of their guests. (Talk about being thoughtful!)

They had their invitations done and sent out before they were introduced to my services (that's ok guys!), so we really wanted to keep with the theme and feel of the invite, but also make our pieces "a little more fun"! Between the scroll, hot pink and navy blue we also incorporated a pearl shimmer stock that we used for all stationery. The end result was just gorgeous! For the beverage napkins and matches we did a custom monogram that also ties into their thank you cards. So as you see, no detail was left behind!

All in all, this wedding was a lot of firsts for me, and I will forever be thankful that they put their trust in me to help create this beautiful and fun look for their special day! Thank you Christina and Brian, we had a blast at your wedding! A special thank you to Mike Landis Photography for these awesome pictures below!

HERE I AM!!!

Wow- my very first blog! For those of you who follow my every move with JW Impressions, you know that this is a very exciting landmark for me. I thought to myself, as I am preparing to launch my official website the first of the year, why not get my blog started a while! So HERE I AM! 

For those that don't know me and what it is I do, here is a little brief overview to catch you up to speed...

JW Impressions specializes in social and corporate stationery. Everything from wedding invites to business cards. Creating a design as unique as your event and your vision is what I strive to do. Perfectionism meets creativity in my world so the possibilities are endless! I like to meet with my clients first to get to know them and the theme of their event. Then I go to town creating different looks and ideas inspired by my client. Once we have found the right theme and design, I can create an entire ensemble based around that theme. Custom and personal stationery will make your event memorable for all attending. It's really the icing on the cake!

So in effort to stay in touch with my family, friends, clients, fans, and well, anyone who cares enough to read this- this is my journey. Let the fun begin and wish me luck!!
