bun in the oven

The big news around our office these days is there's a bun in the oven. That's right. Miss Bonnie's having a baby! To celebrate the upcoming event, we put our heads together to design a fun shower invitation. We love any excuse to celebrate! The type and design was all illustrated by hand in a whimsical, funky style. After all, this was no ordinary shower. No overly sweet pink or blue here. It needed to be kind of cool and most of all… really fun. Plus Bonnie's not finding out the gender so we had to keep it all sort of neutral. The corners were rounded, the invites were mounted on blue hued paper stocks, and each one was tied up fittingly with bakers twine. All that was the left were the envelopes. We used old stamps we'd collected mixed with new abstract art ones that were just released. And we mixed in some envelope liners to really make this package feel special. Now we just wait on the bun in the oven. It will be the newest member of the Tenn Hens family nest!

Oh and we got a little pub from a fabulous blog… check it out! Oh So Beautiful Paper
