Fall colors and what's happening in the studio

It's been a great week so far, busy and productive. I went to our printer's yesterday to get Erica's Vineyard cards printed. Andres will be picking them up today. After much trouble with the film, we finally got it printed beautifully. I'm extremely happy with the results! I can't wait to show you the final product!

Some things in our studio. Although I love vibrant colors, my favorite season is the fall. Andrés and I got married in October because we love all the fall colors and the weather! It's amazing that I don't have many fall pieces in our website. But I think, eventually, I'll get there. Many more people are asking about fall color combinations, so if you don't see anything that's in your color scheme, let me know! I'm happy that we do have some fall colored invites... Raline's Regal that we just finished, Megan's Cataldo Mission in North Idaho invitations (we're currently working on. you can see her process in our Projects page), and finally wrapping up Michelle's golden yellow beach lounge, and working on Cheri's custom invitations. I've attached some images here.

Some other things are Cheri's Starfish Boxed Invitations. These are so popular lately that I will probably be adding them to the portfolio section. I love every color combination that people are using. Here are some images:




Besides studio work and trying to start and finish some more custom invitation inquiries, I'm also working on revamping/redesigning our passionpaper website. I did start off as a web designer and studied interactive design at school. I think the hardest job of being a designer is creating a website for yourself. That's why I still do not have an individual web presence. I did, but it's really old, like 2005. Passion Paper keeps me so busy (and having a 3 year old and pregnant) that I don't have the time to redesign anything, just update. But after much thought, it's time for a much needed redesign, especially the navigation. I'm working long hours trying to figure out the best possible solution on how people will navigate around the site, so hopefully, a new look will show sometime next week.

Anyways, I'll blog again later this week and keep you up to date on what's happening here at our studio... happy wednesday!!
