Birthday Luau Invitation

Happy first birthday to my sweet baby girl! I can't believe that she is already 1. Time does fly. A birthday luau was fitting for her party and here's a view of the invitation. This design could be adapted to other luau or tropical style events as well.

Handwriting

Ever since I can remember, I have loved to write. It's quite an obsession actually. My poor mother was unable to keep anything nice in her house when I was a child or it would end up with my name written all over it in multiple colors and hand writings. I made hundreds of lists, many of them the same list over and over just so I could write something on paper.

In order to feed my need to write, I've enrolled in a Copperplate Calligraphy class. I'm so excited! I've been wanting to take a calligraphy class for years and am finally finding the time to do it. I'll definitely share some samples of what I learn during the class come July. In the meantime, check out one of my favorites in the calligraphy world.

All of the following work was done by Betsey Dunlap.  I adore her work. She has such a fresh take on handwriting and I hope to one day be able to produce some equally wonderful and unique pieces!

New Greeting Card Designs

Two new greeting cards hit the Claire Eye Design shop today! One is a brand new design and the other is taking an idea and giving it a new face.

This is the same wording as a card that was already in the shop, however I decided I was no longer happy with the old design. So I changed it! Here it is in the shop.

Baby Shower Invitation

Playing with new ideas, this invitation turned out to be one of my favorites. I did this one for a shower I gave to a friend. I always seem to let loose a bit more with design when I'm doing it for myself.

Custom Designs

2010 has presented many fun opportunities for design. I've enjoyed the creativity involved in the work. One piece that I did for a wedding party was geared towards being a modern classy couples party. Here's a sample of the invitation:


Several more of my favorite designs I have just completed. I will be featuring those in the upcoming weeks!
