Up Up, The Blog: elopement announcements

i am...

... an indie business owner slash entrepreneur slash graphic designer trying to find my way (emphasis on MY, not way) to earn a living and do it beautifully. you can find my wares at upupcreative.com or on etsy. i'm also a designer for snapfish and minted.

... a former college teacher and ph.d. student (in english) with a thing for words and a need to speak the truth

... mom to evan (who turned four in june '11 and who cracks me up, frustrates me, and amazes me on a daily basis) and emily (who is the sweetest baby ever ever ever - she will be 2 in december '11)

... married to a lawyer. enough said? nah... i'm just kidding. married to brian (who is awesome and just happens also to be a lawyer) for six years as of june 2011.

... slowly recovering posts from the old blog (see archives) (which, sadly, disappeared into thin air...)

... a post-partum depression & anxiety survivor. if you found me because of that, definitely read through the archives, reach out and say hi, and more than anything else just hang in there.

:: elopement announcements ::

my favorite-project-of-the-moment? elopement announcements for laura and brandon (based on this modern invitation design in the up up creative shop. this adorable couple took off to new mexico for the most totally-freaking-gorgeous private ceremony and upon their return hired me to create a fun, sweet announcement for their friends and family.

i chose the colors to match their storybook wedding pics and i cannot even begin to explain how happy the finished product makes me. and this couple, frankly.

what a good idea, elopement announcements. have you heard of anything like that before?

LOVE it! I love the whole idea of eloping (though I had a total blowout wedding...), and I just love this announcement. And I'm from NM originally, so that makes it that much better!
