My childhood Best Friend married another good childhood friend, Matt, on October 10, 2009.  I was not only honored to be the matron of honor, but also to be the provider of their paper products.  We created some really amazing items for her.  It was a beautiful wedding, and the reception was held at the Kansas Cosmosphere.  It is an amazing venue!  We created booklet programs which were full of fun information about Kati & Matt.  They also wrote sweet notes about their bridal party.  They had a runner with a monogram we created, and  really elegant menus as well.   Thanks to Gaylon Bartel photography for the images.  They are amazing photographers!  They took photos of the awesome wedding invites, so I will have to try to get some of those!

I love sending cards for no reason or for what I like to call “random acts of weirdness”. We tried to come up with some fun events to which you may want to invite friends or family! You could also use the “Bun in the Oven Design” to congratulate a friend. I designed these as the fronts of 4×5 folded cards. Feel free to post any other ideas you have for funny cards! E-mail me at kelsey@flossystylishdesign.net to order your own set of custom 4×5 cards and envelopes!

 What a fun wedding!  I assisted my mom, Sandy Walker of In Awe Weddings, and we definitely shared a lot of laughs.  The event was held at Sunridge Canyon in Fountain Hills.  It is surrounded by beautiful scenery!    The bridal party was full of energy and spunk, and everyone involved in the wedding was so complimentary and wonderful. 

For their escort cards, we created round stickers which we put on tins of Mojito Jelly Beans.  Their signature drink was a Mojito, so it was a really creative way to make it flow with their theme.  They also had programs, and we created some fun reserved signs in their colors of deep purple, apple green, and graphite for their ceremony aisles.  Thank you to Emily Estfan of EME Photography for the photos.

One of my favorite elementary school memories was creating boxes for our Valentine’s Day Party. I loved using shoe boxes because they could hold a lot of cards and candy.  Valentine’s Day is the only day that allows the use of pink and red at the same time.  So, I’m mixing them while I can!  I designed some 3.5×5 Valentines for you to send to your friends and loved ones.  I’ve had people telling me that time slipped away from them and they were unable to send Christmas cards.  There is still plenty of time to order and send Valentines.  These are small, economical, and much more fun than the ones that come in a cardboard box.

Whether you’re writing thank-you notes for your wedding gifts or for your Christmas presents, it is very important to thank the person specifically for what they bought you.  I don’t believe in pre-printed generic thank-you cards… even if you had 350 people come to your wedding.  If they took the time to choose a gift for you, you must take the time to thank them.  Some people choose to purchase pre-printed thank-you notes that say “Thank you for the wedding gift.  We appreciate your kindness.  Love, Jane and Jack” but I don’t recommend it!

For example, if they bought you a Kitchen Aid mixer, you can thank them by saying how much you’ve enjoyed using it to make homemade chocolate chip cookies.  Basically, make sure that you mention the actual gift.  I like telling people how I’ve used it as well. 

Here are a few samples of recent thank-you notes I’ve done. They don’t have to be super fancy!  In fact, I really like a 4×5 flat card with a monogram at the top.  It’s also fun to include a photo.  Feel free to Contact Me with any questions or ordering information.
