Taking Care of Business

So just yesterday I blogged about the Triad's very own Becca of Rebecca Rose Events and the genius behind Ever Lovely.  Well I am so honored that this wedding planner extraordinaire has given me plenty of business this fall and even bestowed the honor to not only create her open house invites but also her new business cards!

Now that the office signs are officially up...

 Becca has new business cards & notecards to hand out to all the lovely brides and grooms out there! Feel free to swing by on Thursday, October 20th from 5 to 8pm to pick one up!   I'll be there ready to redesign that if need be.

Congrats on your continuing success Becca! Can't wait to toast on Thursday!

Put it on Paper

Time has come for me to get some business cards.  I think the easiest way to do that is design them myself and print them as needed.  We traveled quite a bit this past winter and I always hated not having any business cards to hand out.  So I have been researching and a few things have inspired me to come up with 3 designs.

My wedding is still a constant source of inspiration for me because honestly it is a "mixed tape" of blogs, photos and ideas that I gathered from others.  I met an amazing florist, Alison Kynerd Thomas, with Buttercup Blooms. This is her magic!  (Her website will be up by the end of the month so I will keep y'all posted!)

Maybe I could redesign that bouquet into a business card.

I also have been drooling over peacock feathers lately. I am not sure how I want to incorporate them into my daily life but I did purchase some shoe clips similar to these from etsy seller, Sofisticata.  For only $25 you can dress up a pair of shoes you already own!

I also can't stop admiring my friend, Patty George's, Peacock painting.  I may have to save up for another artwork purchase.  My home is slowly becoming a Patty George gallery. (Side note: Patty is also an amazing travel agent by day and would love to help you plan your next vaca. Info can be found here)

 Maybe I could redesign that peacock into a business card.

And finally twitter and the blogs are all abuzz due to New York Fashion Week. It began on February 10th and continues through the 17th.  Even  Pantone has a fashion color report for Fall 2011's hottest new colors.

Maybe I could redesign that color scheme into a business card.
