Personalized Mats

Do you have a special song or poem that you want to highlight around a special picture?  This gold calligraphy was put on a 20X24 mat for an 11X14 picture.  It was a stretch for me, but I thought it turned out beautifully!

My newest piece - this was an inspiration from Laura, a client of mine who LOVES letters and the details of lettering. She appreciates hand-lettering so it is a joy to work for her. She wanted to highlight all of the theatre roles that her daughter has played throughout the years, and she is surprising her with this (to be framed) as a graduation gift. It was a pleasure to do this for her - and it made me find some new, fun fonts!

50th Anniversary Celebration

What a wonderful weekend it was at my home in Kentucky. My sisters and I were able to honor our parents for their 50th anniversary. Each of us had a unique talent to contribute to the event...photography, culinary arts, floral arranging, and of course calligraphy. Thank you Mom and Dad for always encouraging us, being a constant example of faithful love and devotion to each other.

Light Inks on Dark Paper - Beautiful!

Want to really make you invitations stand out? Use a light ink on dark paper. It makes such a striking statement. I recently made some samples and had so much fun shooting some pictures against some flowers in the back yard. Nature is truly a perfect backdrop!

Wedding Signs

Wedding signs are a wonderful way to greet your attendants. This is especially helpful if you have a wedding outdoors or at a place in which people are not familiar. Furthermore, you can take the sign with you to the place of your reception. Most of the time, this is a place in which people may not be as familiar. This is the most recent one I did for a precious couple who had a reception at Squire Creek Country Club in Choudrant, Louisiana
