We've been pinned!

We don't know if you have heard of this little thing called Pinterest that is kinda sweeping the internet nation.  Yeah, well, we're on it.  The most recent photo shoot that we got to be a part of was featured on a little wedding blog -- maybe you've heard of it -- STYLE ME PRETTY (yeah, it's huge), and our designs made it to Pinterest!!

The photo shoot highlighted The Nakate Project, an enterprise which gives African women the opportunity to earn a living for their families by selling their beautiful handmade jewelry.   We were honored to support such a worthwhile endeavor.

And, you know, all the little details that pull it all together.  We did that too.

So today was quite a big day for us.  We were featured on one of the biggest wedding blogs out there.  Our designs are being repinned as we speak and we're as inspired as ever. 

You can check out the Boho Chic styled shoot here.  And to pin the designs on Pinterest, just click on any image above.

Happy Pinning!

Collaboration

Collaboration:  col-lab-o-ra-tion: to work jointly with others or together especially in an intellectual endeavor.  

Can it be an artistic endeavor, Mr. Webster?  

Yes, I think it can, because artistically collaborate is exactly what we did with our most recent bride-to-be, Ashley.  I can't remember when we've had more fun taking the ideas of our client and making them come to life.  This was such a group effort.  Ashley came up with ideas that were similar to what we have seen before but with a distinctive flair that is very uniquely hers.  

Here is just a preview of the invitations we created for her.  We'll post more photos that include the entire wedding suite of menus, programs, place cards, and more, after we celebrate on the big day!

A New Line of Paper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That pool boy is correct, Tammi - we ARE hot.........long story, for another time
ANYWHO: Guess What?!?!
We've wanted (o.k. coveted) to have Envelopment Papers in our repertoire for, well, since Laura got engaged. And mark your calendars - 05/26/10 -- mission accomplished! I know it seems like were using too many exclamation points, but really you have no idea how we're holding back!! :))
Lessons learned:
Don't succumb to fear
Don't assume
DO give it a try, knowing you have an "in," the listening ear of God. All this to say, we have access to some of the most beautiful paper out there. Possibilities are endless. We lost track of how many times we screamed in the car on our way home from our business field trip (complete with a stop at subway) to the Envelopments headquarters. Stay tuned and watch us blossom. Oh and apparently we're hot.

Walk, Talk, and Business

Work Day/Fun Day!

So, after spending most of the day in my home office computing dimensions and organizing the components for two of our wedding invitation orders, I've never been happier. What fun -- creating, organizing, ordering, watching a thing of beauty come together. Meanwhile, the other half of The Pomegranate Basket was in her home office putting together the final touches on a slideshow we've been working on for a wedding that's coming up in a couple weeks. After comparing notes at the end of the day, we couldn't have been happier. What better way to spend a day than doing something you love and something that speaks love for the people you're serving. This is where we belong.
