Launching Jack and Cole Designs

Rachel came to me, looking for a trendy children's boutique. Her site carries boutique children's clothing, children's bedding and posh accessories. She wanted a clickable "enter" page that sparkled, so we created one for her in Flash. The website also incorporates fleur de lis, which she loves, and a damask background. It turned out so fun and we had a great time working together!

In addition to the website, we also created matching business cards, hang tags and clothing labels!

Jack and Cole is still stocking their shelves and getting accustomed to resizing images, but will be up and running for business soon! Check um out!

Tea Party

I threw my first tea party for my daughter and a few of her friends last weekend. It turned out so cute! I had all the girls wear their best dress ups and I bought some little bling bracelets and had a beaded necklace kit for each of the girls to make themselves at the table.

For the decorations, I got the tablecloth (twin sheet set, so it would be recycled,) the spring green 3 tiered cupcake holder, and flower shaped polkadotted plates at Target. All the Spring/ Easter stuff is out right now, so it was super easy to get things for a Tea Party themed party. The cups were .57 a piece at Ikea....love Ikea! I got the cupcakes at Costco and decorated them with Hershey Kisses and jellybeans and we served hot chocolate, instead of tea. Everything turned out super fun and the girls loved it!

Need to relax with a great movie? Yeah, me too!!

My hubby brought home a movie from our local video store that he thought I would like. I had never heard of it, but I thought we would give it a shot....we absolutely loved it! It is called "Once" and, if you are looking for a great movie to watch, this is it! I also LOVED the soundtrack so much, that I had to download that onto my Ipod from Itunes, too! Pass it on if you get the chance, it is a great Flick!

Update...it did win for best original song...I think...at the Oscars! You gotta see it!

Belle Pearl redesign!

I have known Angela from Belle Pearl for quite some time. Belle Pearl sells absolutely gorgeous jewelry for weddings, special occasions, children's event, as well as pieces for everyday. We met when she asked me to design her website about a year and a half ago. She is a sweetie and, after chatting on the phone, we became fast friends! Recently, she came back, wanting some basic updates, mainly because her product line had grown as well as her business. We kept the same basic "look," because she has always got a lot of positive responses from her customers about the design, but streamlined the navigation a bit with drop downs and included a clickable collage. She also invested in a professional photo shoot and the pictures look fantastic! We love the new look...hope you all do, too! You can visit Belle Pearl by going to BellePearl.com

Finally...our blog is up!

After months of trying to find time to start a new blog, we finally had time to put it up during the holiday break. Our site seems to come last these days! This blog will not only showcase our recent designs, but will also be a platform to just talk about fun finds and interesting info!
