In addition to the challenges of putting together a gorgeous destination wedding, these two lovebirds had to make most of their planning decisions from their new home overseas in Liberia!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The couple wanted an invitation that was both elegant and fun with some vintage flair...and they really, really wanted it to feature an old fashioned phonograph! I was inspired by images of vintage gramophone records to design these fun invitations in shades of grey, yellow, and cream presented inside a hand-cut paper "record sleeve".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Drink. Be Married." Wedding InvitationsOne of the greatest things about my job is getting to know clients from all over the world who work with me to design custom wedding and event invitations. Michiko contacted me all the way from the Yukon for help with the invitations for her special day. She and her fiance, Brian (a chef), were looking for an invitation suite that reflected their love of all things foodie! She spottted my "Eat. Drink. Be Married." Invites on line, fell in love, and asked me to customize the design to reflect their Pink & Apple Green color scheme. So fun!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Miss me? I'm finally breaking my long silence in cyberspace and trying dip my toes into blogging again. I've been working on a ton of fun projects, trudging through the first trimester pregnancy blahs, and trying to wrap my head around the fact that the new little one meant to complete our happy family is actually (eek) TWINS!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm happy to report that I'm now well into my 2nd trimester and the intense morning sickness (double the babies means double the yuck!) and bone deep fatigue have mellowed into something a little more manageable (I can actually manage to stay awake past 9 o'clock now!) So I finally have a little time to post some pics of my latest (and not-so-latest) projects.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Up first: Details from Jenn's St. Patrick's Day inspired Baby Shower whose <a href="http://kateemmert.blogspot.com/2011/04/st-patricks-themed-baby-shower.html">invitations</a> I featured all the way back in April! For the shower itself, we chose an "Irish Blessing" theme for the printable decor items and I love how traditional themes blended with a modern aesthetic for a fun, fresh look! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Having worked with her daughter <a href="http://kateemmert.blogspot.com/2010/12/jennifer-dilullo-logo-business-cards.html">Jenn</a> a lot, I know that her style is a mixture of whimsy and sophistication and I wanted to remain true to that for this very special event in her life! I settled on this fun green and pink square invitation design featuring a modern heart/shamrock motif and stripes. </div><br />

Everything about Peggy was always just so: from her perfectly applied signature red lipstick, to her miniature poodles Tinka & Tiga (who sported matching pedicures and bows in the same shade of signature red), to the festive fêtes she often threw! When I think of fun, stylish parties Aunt Peggy always comes to mind. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

(You may remember the poster I designed for it a while back, which you can see <a href="http://kateemmert.blogspot.com/2011/02/laissez-les-bon-temps-rouler-mardi-gras.html">here</a>.) I think I can speak for everyone when I say a good time was had by all! I also had the pleasure of meeting the gals from "<a href="http://www.crimsoncake.com/">The Crimson Cake</a>" who created an amazing cake inspired by my poster design!<br />

If that wasn't enough, they are also the culinary geniuses behind the most AMAZING red velvet cupcake (or two) I have ever eaten in my life! It's safe to say that I'm a little obsessed with them now, so much so that I demanded that my husband immediately order some in anticipation of my upcoming birthday...I can't wait!! If you live in the San Diego area I highly recommend that you get your hands on some of their delectable (and beautiful) creations.Kate Eileen Emmerthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02560138806413877490noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368914809303414229.post-39154253353866998142011-03-21T05:54:00.000-07:002011-03-21T05:54:00.153-07:00San Elijo Hills Buy Local - The MovieTotally diggin' this short video that my hubby (Adrian Henke of <a href="http://hungrysquid.com/">HungrySquid</a>) put together highlighting the San Elijo Hills Buy Local "Sidewalk Sunday" event I took part in on March 13th.

I met a ton of new people, got a chance to show off some of my work, and signed up a ton of folks for a chance to win a free custom printable party in the theme and color scheme of their choice! Now, I know most people these days use newfangled technology to choose their contest winners, but I decided to do this the good old fashioned way: with some slips of paper, a hat, and a one year old. Who needs random.org when I'm the proud owner/operator of a random.baby?<br />

Residents were treated to tons of free samples and giveaways and their kids (and even some adults!) enjoyed face painting, balloon animals and a giantt bounce house. I had a great time meeting a ton of fellow residents and showing off some of my favorite invitations and paper goods.

A lot carried away. When <a href="http://eversolovely.com/">Ever So Lovely</a>'s Brandi put out the word that she was organizing a Valentine's card exchange, I hopped right on board! And then spent days agonizing over what I could do that was a little bit different...a little bit crazy...a little bit...me.<br />
<br />
Enter Operation: Cupid. (Because top secret government agents love Valentine's day, too, right?)<br />

My lovely valentines opened their envelope to find a top secret miniature dossier containing their mission instructions.<br />

Inside were a pair of (very subtle) decoder glasses, blinged out with heart shaped rhinestones! (Why do I have the urge to hum Elton John hits from the 70s every time I see these?)<br />

Reminders on the glasses to "Remain Inconspicuous" and "Just Act Casual" helped my spy friends avoid detection by enemy agents.<br />

...And here's what their decoder glasses revealed: "Burn After Reading. (Or Keep as a Memento) Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to be my Top Secret Valentine. (Please note that this mission may be fraught with peril and requires top security clearance.) XOXO, Kate Eileen Emmert (Code Name: Heartbreaker)"<br />

When I asked the bride her favorite wedding details, she immediately told me about 1) her pink wedding shoes and 2) her bouquet of Gerber Daisies! This graphic mod daisy motif in black and white with pops of pink fit the bill!<br />
