Custom Invitation

Recently, my sweet friend sent me this picture:

and said that she was throwing her mother a surprise party and wanted the theme to be along the lines of this picture: purples, swirls, pearls, etc. I was so excited to work on an invitation to go with this theme. Here is the design we went with: 

Then last week, she sent me some pictures from the party. I always so enjoy seeing the "after" photos of the designs I create and how the party came together around the invitation. Judging by this beautiful spread, I bet she had a lovely party. My friend said she was SO surprised! How fun! 

I love working on custom designs, so contact me to receive information about working on your idea one-on-one!

Valentine fun!

Check out these free color yourself printable bookmarks. I printed them on white cardstock and took them to my Littlest Lamb's Fun Friday last week. You can cut the sheet into exact 3rds. I printed enough so that the kids could have a lot of fun getting to pick 2 different designs from among these 6:

We also played Valentine's Bingo. Click here for my Halloween version. I printed these on white card stock. You can cut the page into fourths. Just be sure to print an extra out, cut it up, and draw one letter and one picture out with each turn. First one to get 4 in a row wins!

Feature in magazine WellWed Cape Cod + Martha's Vineyard

What an honor that Little Lamb Design's Blue Fancy Frame Invitation was featured in WellWed.com's current issue's "Something Blue" round-up.

Here's a close up:

I was so excited with this magazine contacted me to inquire about this design. This wedding suite is especially close to my heart because I designed it for my cousin's wedding, although she went went with the pink version. Our Sandwich, MA dealer Splash Stationers is a featured professional through this magazine and having worked with the staff at this store, I know anyone looking to plan their wedding in the Martha's Vineyard area would be so very pleased to work with Splash.

Thanks again for the opportunity WellWed.com!

Happy Halloween!

I wanted to share a super fun printable that makes a fabulous Halloween game. And since really bad weather is predicted for my neck of the woods tonight, we may be playing this A LOT! Click this photo below for a Halloween Bingo printable. A pdf file will download with 13 different game sheets you can print off. Take one of them and cut out the letters then cut out the pictures and use those to draw out the letter/picture combination for you to call out. 6 in a row, column, or diagonal wins.

I created this game last week to take to my Littlest Lamb's Fun Friday classroom activity. Note what we used for game pieces...a HUGE hit with the kids ;)

After Bingo, we used some ideas from Pinterest for a craft and snack. We made some precious ghosts we found the idea for here. It was so easy to glue crepe streamers and arms on a paper plate and let the kids decorate the face. Punch a hole and attach a ribbon...voila!

And our yummy snack was "Ghosts in the Graveyard" pudding cups found here. 

Custom Honey Labels

     Long ago, there was a girl who sold air conditioners for a living...ME! It was a great job, but SO not my calling! It was that job that I left to start this one. One of the many bright spots to come out of that job, though, was becoming friends with Phillip at Grammer Heating and Air.  

     The not fun part of this story is the reason we got together on the labels you see in this photo...I had to replace one of the HVAC systems in my house last Spring...OUCH! Phillip and his crew did an AMAZING job, so it made the sting of writing that check hurt just a little less ;) While he was working at my house, we got to talking about his family's business, Grammer Honey Company. They were just getting started on selling the honey from the hives they'd been raising for a few years. They needed a logo and some "labels like you don't see on all the other honey jars out there."

     These large UV-coated labels were the perfect fit for their jars. Their logo is in the center with all the legalize written on the sides as the label wraps around the jar. I bought 3 and the honey is DELICIOUS! Here's a better view:
