Our church has a wonderful youth ministry that is lead by amazing leaders. We had the honor to partner with them to help give a new look to a great tradition at Evangelical United Methodist Church (EUM). In the past, EUM's Dessert Derby was held after church and was crammed into a 2 hour event with dinner, bid items and youth stories. Well, EUM started to grow, rapidly and the staff at EUM had to make a decision that instead of two services on Sunday there would be three. With the new Sunday schedule, Dessert Derby need to find a new time and even a new date.
Read MoreI've been a big fan of the minimalist poster designs. Taking something as complex as a person or a movie and stripping it down to one powerful graphical element that is instantly recognizable. I wanted to do something unique; something that had never been done before. So God hit me alongside the head with an idea: Bible stories. If you wish to see the previous posters, check out Creation Day 1, Creation Day 2, Creation Day 3, Creation Day 4, and Creation Day 5 now.

This little fighter survived, with much thanks to the March of Dimes. Read about what Layne and his family are up to in 5 days...

Read MoreI've been a big fan of the minimalist poster designs. Taking something as complex as a person or a movie and stripping it down to one powerful graphical element that is instantly recognizable. As a designer, I love the creative and mental challenges that this concept brings. I always start to wonder "How did she come up with that?" or "That part of the movie was such a small part, but it totally makes sense now."
So I started to wonder what I could do. I wanted to create my own minimalist poster series, but all the good ones were already taken—everyone is on a superhero kick nowadays. I wanted to do something unique; something that has never been done before.

You can check out their creative "telegram" save-the-date postcards in this previous post. Above are a few shots of their z-fold wedding invitations. The design was fun and functional: the white section was a tear-off response card. This process also included the design of the rehearsal dinner invitations, ceremony programs, ceremony seat signs, reception place cards, various borders to be used on clever little memos, cake flags, and even the thank you cards. I love when everything is tied together so nicely!
Kristal and Rob were married on Friday! Here are a few beautiful photos taken by their wedding photographers (Ideal Impressions) of some of the printed pieces in action...

Wow...I can't believe how quickly time has been flying by. It's crazy to look back over the whirlwind that has been the past couple months.
I can't complain about being busy...God has provided in unbelievable ways and our friends, families and acquaintances have passed our names along like mad, resulting in all kinds of new projects.
