Just my TYPE Tuesdays: Check.Mate.

Lusting over these laser cut letters as chess pieces. I don't even know how to play chess, but I can see this set displayed beside our home whiskey bar for some reason. Find out more about this set here. Watch the video here!

NEW column: Weekend Wrap Up!

Happy Monday everyone!

It's mid October people.... can you believe it?!?! Man time flies! Now that I have some spare time to dedicate to my blog again, I want to share my weekend haps with you in this new column called Weekend Wrap Up, a weekly run down of my rather adventurous or rather boring weekends. Sometimes my weekends are boring with mostly house chores & laundry & such... but other times my weekends are SO busy with family get togethers, friendly brunches/dinners, DIY projects, or creative deadlines that I must meet. This past weekend was quite pleasant for a cool October weekend in SoCal. How was your weekend?

We picked up fresh roses from the market. I really enjoy waking up & seeing these colorful buds glisten in the morning sunlight. Brings a smile to my face every time.

October fright fest begins! The hubs & I snuggled close with hands over the face whilst peeking, of course! OH..... & must I just say, The Walking Dead season 3 premier... wickedly good. I am also diggin' the fall packaging on the Netflix red envelops. All in the little details people!

Rocked out to some 80s pop while I was working on some logo comps for my husbands homebrew. I can't wait to debut this branding project =)

Just my TYPE Tuesdays: Dog vs. Type

Why hello.........

Things may appear a tad different around here. I updated the look of the blog a smiggen. Do you like?

For todays TYPE Tuesday feature I stumbled upon this über cute typeface study verses doggies. I'm a sucker for puppy love and when you mix my two fave things, I am super smitten about the whole thing. I believe the correlation here is that the particular breed of dog has some characteristics of the typeface itself. Either way, it could be an artsy kinda thang, but I sure do dig the piece as a whole.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

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!!
