As promised here is a post on our latest photoshoot. All stationery were designed by me, maritessb. I've been working on designs but never had the chance to take photos of them. So I finally decided to suck it up and make time.
THE INSPIRATION: I love baked sweets. A few friends helped by donating a few of the goodies. The cake pops were done by my friend Miss G and the heart-shaped cookies were creations of Mrs. Angie and mom. Miss G just did a set for her daughter's birthday w/o bringing me any leftovers... So I guilt her into making me some. I asked Mrs. Angie for the cookies she gave away as part of her wedding favors because they are so cute and delicious. Everything else were baked by me! If I wasn't a license coordinator, part-time event coordinator, or part-time stationery designer... I'd be a baker. LOL!
Since I'm incorporating everything I "love" it's only fitting to do a Valentine inspired photoshoot. Cheesy as it may sound I LOVE Valentines even when I was single. I love how 1 day is dedicated to the expression of love for one another. Sure gifts are exchanged, wines are being poured, and tummies are stuffed but the whole point is to be kind to each other/yourself for one day. It doesn't have to be a romantic experience. I spent last weekend and tonight with family and friends. One of the best Valentines ever. Life is too precious! It's nice to be reminded to spoil someone or yourself in middle of the cold wintery season.
With that being said here are some of my photos from the shoot. My two lovely sisters (Jenn and Sheila) and husband helped me with the set up. You can catch the rest of the photos soon on our FB Page.
An overview of our spread: chocolate doughnuts, red velvet cake, cake pops with butter chocolate cake, mini cherry pies, pb&j sandwiches, brownies, sugar cookies. Books are loaners from the library and the plates are a combination of Martha Stewart, Anthropologie, Target, Etsy, and Micheal's.
The top right invitation is for little girl's craft birthday party. I'd thought using felt as a pocket folder would be so adorable! The middle right is a baby shower book invite with my own monkey character. The style of this invitation was inspired by Paul Frank. The bottom invitation is a "Bee Bee" shower.
The top invitation (in the set below) may look familiar. It's my own DIY wedding invitation. Here are the detailed instruction on this invitaiton here. Bottom left is a latticed punched invitation I did for Mrs. Angie's bridal shower. On the right is an invitation holder made from a dolie! I love that idea. The design inside is my spin on it. Look at our FB album to see the inside design.
This is a favor box I've done for Mrs. Angie's bridal shower (lattice punched invitation above). I'll post the photos of the party soon.
Thanks for checking out our work! Happy love day! Remember this is only 1 day... make it last throughout the year.
