I am very excited to share the birth announcement I designed for my son, Cooper. Shortly after he was born we found out that he has Down syndrome. While most of our friends and family knew of our little guy's arrival and condition, as a stationer, I knew I had to send out birth announcements. <br />
<br />
Cooper's birth announcements are featured on <a href="http://ohsobeautifulpaper.com/2014/07/whimsical-modern-birth-announcements/">Oh So Beautiful Paper</a>.<br />

I knew I wanted the design to be as unique and special as my darling boy. The design features an envelope within an envelope. Recipients peel off the polka dotted washi tape to discover Cooper’s photo peeking out of the envelope. The back of the photo includes all his birthday stats. I am a sucker for letterpress and envelope liners. The card with the cross-hatch pattern is letterpress printed on 220# cotton paper. Both envelopes are lined with a fun triangle pattern. </div>

My husband and I felt it necessary to include a note about our little man. We went through at least a dozen iterations before finally landing on: <i>Cooper came into the world a month early. As our midwife put it, “He has things to do. People and places to see.” Shortly after he was born, Cooper let us in on his little secret: he has a genetic condition called Trisomy 21, otherwise known as Down syndrome. We were shocked and confused at first. But in our son’s emerging personality, we see a young man infinitely curious about the world. His blue eyes catch on shapes and patterns that make him giggle with delight. He is tenacious and precocious and will be crawling and walking before we know it. Cooper may have Down syndrome, but it’s clear there is much more to our little man than an extra chromosome. We are delighted that he has chosen us to be his parents. Please join us in welcoming Cooper to our family.</i><br />

I've been itching to share this inspiration shoot that included by <a href="http://www.paperandparcel.com/minima.html">Minima</a> wedding suite for over a year (Last year I was still kicking the tires and coding the blog design). But now that it is Valentine's Day, I thought it the perfect time.<br />
<br />
The images were taken by the ridiculously talented <a href="http://lauren%20kinsey%20fine%20art%20wedding%20photography/">Lauren Kinsey</a> with gorgeous styling by <a href="http://www.shelbypeadenevents.com/index2.php#/home/">Shelby Peaden Events</a> and spectacular flowers by <a href="http://www.myrtieblue.com/">Myrtie Blue</a>. The shoot was featured on <a href="http://www.weddingchicks.com/2012/02/14/red-and-pink-wedding-ideas/">Wedding Chicks</a>, and you can see more images by visiting the <a href="http://www.weddingchicks.com/gallery/red-and-pink-wedding-ideas/">gallery</a>.

Designing wedding invitations is one of favorite things to do. So I was head over heels when I heard the news that my design, "Come Fly with Us," was chosen by Minted to receive the <a href="http://www.minted.com/julep/2013/02/12/perfect-match-wedding-special-prize-winners/">Shape Award </a>for the design that uses one of their die-cut shapes. Yippie! The design is now available to purchase on Minted as a <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/wedding-invitations/MIN-7U5-INV/come-fly-with-us">wedding invitation</a> or <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/save-the-date-cards/MIN-7U6-STD/come-fly-with-us">Save the Date.</a> Check it out -- especially if you are planning a destination wedding! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With Valentine's Day around the corner, I thought it would be the perfect month to introduce my invitation design <a href="http://www.paperandparcel.com/minima.html">Minima</a>. Inspired by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_(sculpture)">Robert Indiana's "Love" sculpture</a>, <a href="http://www.paperandparcel.com/minima.html">Minima</a> is for the minimalist couple looking for the ideal way to express their love and admiration. Coupled with a chevron pattern as an invitation backer or envelope liner, <a href="http://www.paperandparcel.com/minima.html">Minima</a> makes the ultimate modern style statement. Below is my inspiration board for <a href="http://www.paperandparcel.com/minima.html">Minima</a>. </div>

<br />
<span style="text-align: start;">I thought the perfect way to kick off my blog posts for 2013 was by featuring Kathryn and Jeffery's </span><span style="text-align: start;">gorgeous</span><span style="text-align: start;"> fall wedding. I had the pleasure of working with them on their invitation and reception stationery.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When Kathryn contacted me, she wanted an invitation that reflected the colors of Colorado during the fall -- khaki, espresso, mustard and kraft. She also wanted to include a faux bois pattern and aspen leafs. Little did I know then, how all those elements would combine with the other wedding details for a truly beautiful fall Colorado wedding. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Below are a just a couple photos from their wedding captured by the fabulous <a href="http://www.joshuacophotography.com/">Joshua & Co.

Baby it's cold outside, and what better why to escape the cold than with a winter wedding inspiration shoot. I teamed up with <a href="http://www.dallascurow.com/">Dallas Curow Photography</a> and stylist <a href="http://www.elysecragg.com/">Elyse Cragg</a> for a Montreal wintery inspiration shoot shimming with gold and emerald accents. Featured in the shoot was my <a href="http://www.paperandparcel.com/astaire.html">Astaire wedding invitation design</a>. Check out some of the gorgeous images from the shoot: </div>

Becca and Andrew were married in August at the Crane Estate in Ipswich, Massachusetts, and I had the joy of working with them on their wedding stationery. They chose my Burst design and customized the suite in Navy and Seersucker. Check out more of the gorgeous pictures from their wedding day on <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/gallery/9934/2">Style Me Pretty</a>.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">It's been a busy time around the Paper & Parcel studio prepping for the holidays. I've also been working on some projects that I hope to launch later this year. Stay tuned! But I was able to squeak in one design for Minted's Perfect Match Wedding Invitation Challenge: <a href="http://www.minted.com/design-rating/71297">Come Fly With Us</a>. The design was inspired by vintage luggage tags, and I think it would work perfectly for a destination wedding. </span></div>

It's beginning to look like... well, the holidays are still a couple of months away, but I've been rockin' the Christmas playlist since May -- Oh Bing Crosby, you never get old -- while designing this year's collection. After month's of hard work, I'm excited to start sharing my holiday designs with you! </div>

The air is getting crisp, the leaves are turning beautiful shades of red and yellow, and Halloween is right around the corner. I know, I know. It's still a bit early...but I had so much fun creating these Zombie Boogers treat bags, that I couldn't resist sharing them with you. Plus this gives you plenty of time to plan and bake for your Halloween party.<br />
<br />
The recipe for the Zombie Boogers popcorn is super, duper easy and is sure to make your guests shriek with delight. The treat bags are available for purchase in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/109497884/zombie-boogers-halloween-treat-bags-12">Etsy shop</a>. Enjoy!<br />

<b>"Zombie Boogers" Green Candy Coated Popcorn</b><br />
<br />
Recipe Difficulty: Easy<br />
Serves: 8-10<br />
Time: 1 1/2 hours<br />
<br />
16-20 cups of popped popcorn<br />
<br />
<i>Mixture: </i><br />
1/2 cup butter<br />
1 cup granulated sugar<br />
1/4 cup corn syrup<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
2 teaspoon green food coloring<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
(Depending on how coated you would like the popcorn, I recommend making a double batch of the mixture to achieve the same look of the popcorn as in the photo.)<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (95 degrees C).<br />
<br />
Place your popcorn in two large shallow baking dishes.<br />
<br />
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt buter. Stir in sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to boil while stirring consistently. Boil without stirring for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and green food coloring until the mixture is evenly colored and combined. Stir in baking soda. Mixture will double. Pour the mixture over the popcorn and stir to combine and evenly coat.<br />
<br />
Place the popcorn in the oven. Stir the popcorn every 15 minutes for 1 hour. Remove from the oven. Let cool for about 5 minutes and then break into pieces. Be careful popcorn will still be hot.<br />

(<i>Editor's Update</i>: I've had several comments and emails from readers saying that they had to adjust or tweak the recipe. I've updated the recipe slightly due to these suggestions. Also, please note that I cook at altitude (above 5,200 feet). Depending on your location, you may need to adjust the recipe slightly to achieve the same serving size.)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08883715943477169092noreply@blogger.com53
