Invitation Inspiration

I've been keeping myself quite busy these past few months with wedding invitation packages. I'm loving the opporutnities to sit down and discuss weddings with brides to be. My current project is for Hannah and Jesse who will be tying the knot this fall. They are getting married at the Whitlock Inn in Marietta, GA and their wedding feel has been described as Earthy Antebellum. The colors will be gravel gray, ivory, blush and a nice seersucker blue. How fittingly Southern. These photos are my inspiration:

I'll be sure to post photos when the invites are printed and hopefully a follow-up with photos of the wedding! 

On Nesting

Hey y'all. I've been a bit of a blogging dead beat lately. Blame it on the relentless heat and me being nine months pregnant. Besides drinking water like a crazy woman (to keep my ankles from swelling), what have I been up to?

Well, let's just say I have come to the understanding that the nesting instinct is for real and it plays itself out in odd ways. Most recently it manifested itself in a frenetic laundry room cleaning blitz, but can also be blamed for banana bread baking, shower curtain bleaching, obsessive categorizing of baby clothes by size, and a full day's worth clean up of all computer files for my business.

Another way I feel I have been extra "nesty" is finally getting around to printing out and assembling more invitations and save the dates for my graphics portfolio. Here are a few samples and here is where you can send your engaged friends to buy from me ;)

Coming soon... The nursery reveal!

The Launch!

It's official. Mostaza Seed is growing. I have opened up a new shop on Etsy called Mostaza Seed Graphics. Check it out!

Logos, business cards, save the dates, party invites, and more!

MIA What I've Been Up To....

Sorry for the lack of posts these past few weeks! I've been busy filling earring rack orders and doing lots of graphic designing for a friend's photography business. I don't know if I've ever shared my designs with you, my blogger friends. Take a look at some of my work:

On Etsy, you can purchase a Custom Logo , a Custom Etsy Design Package (banner, avatar, and logo), or Business Cards (on thick stock paper with a silky matte finish and rounded corners) in quantities of 100 and 250. In the fall, I plan to create a listing for Christmas cards. Let me know if you are interested. Also, if there is something you'd like me to make that isn't listed in my shop (birthday invites, a family tree print, postcards, flyers, etc), send me a message at graphics@mostazaseed.com. I'd love to work with you to create something unique and special!
