Canvas Art

Hi there,

I just wanted to share the art I have done for a couple of people recently. I hope you enjoy them. If you see something you like, let me know. I am sure we can work out a deal.

See you around,

11.11.11 Birthday Celebration

This years birthday is an once in a lifetime experience! It falls on 11.11.11. It will never fall on a date like that again. Since it is an once in a lifetime event I decided to throw myself a little party to celebrate! Here are the invites I designed.

They were super simple to make and because our money is tight (realllly tight) I opted to design the invites as postcards.  The invite size is 5" x 7" and I used 100 lb. cover glossy card stock (you can get this at any office supply store).

In Photoshop, I set the document up as 5" x 7" with a resolution of 300 and RGB for the color. Then I just started to lay layers with different font and sizes of the word and number 11 until I liked what I designed. I then saved a copy as a .psd and a .jpeg. I saved money by setting up the invites two to a page and only needed to print 10 sheets of paper just to make 20 invites.

The great thing about this design is that you can do this in word or pages just by adding text boxes to your document. I used Photoshop because I was going to design something completely different.

The back of the card is very short and sweet and to the point. I designed the top portion of the page for the address information and the bottom half with the party details. I used the same font color as the front with an easy to read font for everyone to read.

I dig the look because it isn't your normal birthday invite.

I'll share the party decorations after I am finished with them.
Here's to 11.11.11- the birthday of a lifetime!

Thanks for reading!
A Season

Welcome!

Well, I have officially started a blog...eek! I have been inspired by many who share their hearts and their desires and I would like to add my two cents into the mix.

I enjoy creating! It can be something as simple as coloring in a coloring book, to making cookies, to painting a canvas, to redesigning my living room (or maybe yours...). My blog will be a mixture of Do It Yourself (DIY) projects, Fix It Ups (FIU) jobs, room/space redesigns, and many other ideas. I hope I can create a community where we all can share our thoughts and ideas and offer support.

I doubt I will post everyday or every other day. I mean really, I work part-time,  almost full time hours, and am a mom to two sweet children, a wife to an amazing man, and most importantly a child of God. So while my focus is on them, when I have time I will focus on my creations and share them.

Happy 3 week of August! I pray you all have a great week.
