soft pink baby shower visual + sparkle
Hello hello, I’m still here. I’ve been busy like a bee completing a few invitation suites in the Frank Lloyd Wright style which I’ll share with you in a few weeks; you won’t believe the fabulous color palettes these awesome brides came up with.
For now, I leave you with this pretty in pink, with a touch of brown and tan, visual + sparkle = inspiration which I put together in preparation for my sister-in-law’s baby shower invitation. Soft and sweet, right?
winter visual + sparkle with a pop
I’m working on another set of FLW-inspired invitations with this wintery color palette made cheery with an oh so BRIGHT pop of pink. Great color options, right? And what about that gorgeous illustration by Gemma Lilly…lovely!!
bright giraffe {inspired} baby shower visual + sparkle
Hello to you all on this chilly Tuesday morning. I’ve been working away on this brightly colored, giraffe-inspired visual + sparkle for a baby boy’s baby shower invitation. I’m loving the bright hues combined with the neutral gray tones which will give the invitation a modern and sophisticated feel.
Stay tuned for the invite.
an arts & crafts {wedding} visual + sparkle
Bare with me for a moment if you please while I go on a little about weddings and the fabulous couples I come into contact with via LizzyB Loves.
As you may know, I haven’t had the pleasure of planning my own wedding yet, but I’ve been in love with paper ephemera all the years of my short (30 years) life, always creating my own stationery and gift-wrapping for holidays and birthdays, as well as Wedding Invitations for most everyone in my family and friends…so the love for Wedding Invitation paper goodies is all natural.
Sure, I like creating beautiful layouts and dreaming up interesting and unique concepts for social stationery, but to get the pleasure of working with soon-to-be’s with such vision for their Wedding Suite and passion for their roots (no pun intended, as you’ll soon read) is just out of this world.
A few days ago, Dallas, the groom, sent me an email praising my work and mentioning that he and his fiance would love to work together with me on creating their Wedding Invitations. But of course, I said, I just needed to ask a few questions regarding their vision and inspiration for the big day. Well, Dallas and Tracy were such sweethearts, they emailed me a complete rundown, sure, of what I had asked for in regards to color and venue choices, but they didn’t stop there. They let me in on the history of their families, how they were born, and how their parent’s love of nature and architectural elements which honor it, plays a role in their lives; this, in turn, gives way to the appreciation they have for the Arts & Crafts movement.
Dallas and Tracy’s only request was that through their Wedding Invitations we “…pay a bit of tribute to where [they] came from and what [their] parents have given [them] in terms of an aesthetic grounding while using [my] talents to craft a unique and dynamic look that would be distinctly [theirs].” Beautiful! And so it will be, Dallas.
This short email conversation with the soon-to-be newlyweds filled me with such inspiration that I’m more than excited to get started on the concept design for the Wedding Invitations. As I was gathering visual imagery to put together this Wedding color palette inspiration, I could imagine the final outcome of their vision combining their heritage and values all on a 5″ x 7″ piece of paper.
You’ll have to wait and see what I create, but for now enjoy this visual + sparkle = inspiration with the gorgeous architecture of the Gamble House in Pasadena, California. As you view it, imagine the couple’s love of nature and Arts & Crafts architecture, as well as the beautiful outdoor venue which I envisioned would look something like this.
Now, on to designing since I only have 10 days before going to print. Yikes!!
an art deco {wedding} visual + sparkle
I’ve just begun the process of designing an Art Deco-inspired Wedding Invitation with this regal visual + sparkle = inspiration. Eliza, the bride-to-be, contacted me when she fell in love with the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Wedding Invitation I shared with you here, and as we talked more about her likes and wants and the venue (Oh the VENUE!!!!) I thought “wait, that’s exactly the venue, colors, and decor I would choose for my Wedding!”. You can imagine the fun I’m having with this inspiration.
Enjoy the warm golden and purple hues of this visual board along with those geometric shapes of the Art Deco-inspired Arizona Biltmore…what could be more opulent and deco than that?!

sparks cakes visual + sparkle
I’m in the midst of building out the branding for a Pastry Chef, Sparks Cakes, and wanted to gather some color inspiration to visualize the array of hues available. My client wanted a sweet palette full of roses, peaches, and salmon colors with hints of shimmer and glamour…I think this visual + sparkle = inspiration is pretty spot on, no?!
That image from a Sitting In A Tree event via Grey Likes Weddings with the shimmery salmon-colored dresses and the cupcakes is the quintessential feel for the company. And the colors are a perfect palette for a sweet Baby Shower Invitation as well.
Here’s a sneak peek at the logo I’m helping finalize from an initial sketch the client had. I’ll keep you posted on the final logo and collateral pieces when those are complete.

a frank lloyd wright {wedding} invitation – sneak peak
I had mentioned there were many new projects in the cards for LizzyB Loves this year and one that I just sent to print is this sophisticated yet casual, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired wedding invitation. I had shown you the Sedona-inspired visual + sparkle a few weeks ago, but after more conversations with the soon-to-be’s, and after narrowing down the color palette to the one you see above (all the bride’s favorite colors- a tile designer herself), I transformed the once ‘…pretty and 20′s and deco-looking…’ inspiration into a more ‘…masculine-feminine balanced and more creative and fun and bold…’ looking one; this in the words of Meg, the future bride.
Here’s a sneak peak into the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired wedding invitation suite: the invitation above with a custom-designed pattern…
…and the rsvp following in the same motifs which are used throughout the entire wedding invitation suite. I think a success in accomplishing the ‘creative, fun, and bold’ requirement! {make sure to click on the visual + sparkle image to view in full!}

a frank lloyd wright {wedding} visual sparkle
I’m in the midst of designing a new Wedding Invitation, get this, with a Frank Lloyd Wright/Sedona theme. Can you imagine the beauty? With some great insight from the future newlyweds I found out that there is a beautiful Church built into the mesas of Sedona inspired by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright.
I took this as my starting point, along with some requests from the soon to be Mr. & Mrs., and created this lovely visual + sparkle = wedding full of pinks, blues and Sedona-colored images. {make sure to click on the image to view in full!}

I’ve just sent the Quinceañera invitations I was working on to print…YES!! I’ll show you the completed suites when I put them together and photograph them. But now, it’s time to move on to Baby Shower invitations, which I have to complete in less than two weeks…yikes! So, to get my juices flowing with ideas and color inspiration I’ve created this bright visual + sparkle to keep close. {make sure to click on the image to view in full!}
I’m amassing quite a group of visual/color inspirations so I’ve also started a new category to find them all in one place, at a click of a link: visual + sparkle = inspiration. Enjoy the colorfulness!!
