Engagement Party: Brittany+Grant

I'm SO excited to post this particular engagement....... you know why???...... Cuz my sister-in-law & soon-to-be brother-in-law are ENGAGED to be married. Yaaahooo! Oh happy day! Their engagement party was a success - many thanks to the brides parents (uhhh-hemm... my in-laws) for hosting a fantastic afternoon celebration.

Here are a few snapshots of the absolutely adorable couple & the bridal party, which they so graciously announced at the party. They also described each of the bridal party members and how much each person means to the couple. 

Engagement invitation (designed by: yours truly!)

Lots of smooches.

Bridal Party

Phew... snuck in just in time. Bridesmaid....whut whut!

i heart gymnastics

Happy Thursday ya'll!

Now that gymnastics is over for this 2012 London Olympics, I can get back to my normal sleeping schedule.... hahaha! Dang NBC *fist shaking* showed gymnastics so late in the evening that I was kinda thrown off my bedtime.

Congrats to the US Women's Gymnastics team for bringing home the gold! I was so proud of them, I felt like I was their mother. I can only imagine how my parents felt when I was competing as a young gymnast. My mom used to tell me that she wouldn't breathe during any of my routines until I dismounted & stuck my landing. Those days are way in the past, but I thank my mom & dad for letting me do my gymnastics thang.  Here's a pic that is still hanging in my parents bedroom hallway. I'm on top of the world!! =) 

Just my TYPE Tuesdays: Food TYPE

It's been a while, hasn't it?!?! I've had this post for a some time now, and finally have some time to post it today.  Enjoy =)

Appetizing isn't it?.......... So literal, I love it so much! Food AND type? Wowie... what a combo! This original design project focuses on the food pyramid, bound in a book as a collection of typographical art. Check out more images & fun foodie type here.

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Just my TYPE Tuesdays: Don't be Krul

Currently obsessed with this Dutch born typeface, Krul. Most popular in the 1940s,  this hand painted typeface graced the windows of local Amsterdam ‘bruin cafés’ (brown cafés) or pubs.

Can I please get this "g" blown up and plastered onto one of the walls of my house?!?! *Smitten*

Paper Shadows

Paper is amazing..... but when you fold, form & crinkle paper & lastly add 1 light source, you can create cast shadow impressions of someones profile. GENIUS!! Brilliant Shadow artist Kumi Yamashita is indeed a genius. Her works of art are currently featured at the International Gallery of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.  I 'm really diggin the simplicity & depth of her work! What do you think.... neat huh?!?!

Just my TYPE Tuesdays: For Keeps

I know we just celebrated Father's Day, but I wanted to give a shout out to my awesome mother-in-law for snagging me these oh so cute ceramic type boxes. They are SO adorable! I'm not sure if I want to keep these little guys all together or sprinkle them through out the house. AND I'm wondering what kind of treasures I can stash in these boxes. Either way, I love them to bits. Thanks Pam!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Just my TYPE Tuesdays: Chalk it up!

Can't help falling in love with chalkboard art, especially when it's vintage type written in classic white chalk. All found on Pinterest, these images inspire me to write up something sassy on my coffee table that I hand painted with chalkboard paint a while back. Have you made something fun with chalkboard paint? I would love to hear about your DIY projects!
