Or So I thought! haha..

     Well, I decided to post my designs on The Knot!  I really wanted some feedback and I thought that would be the best place to get it.  Only a couple of things were mentioned that they thought I should change.  Things that I totally agreed with and just had not thought of first.  Everyone loves the monogram, which I am very happy with.  They liked the colors and the whole concept.. It definitely gave me the feedback I was looking for.  So, once I play around a bit, I will post them again! Trial and Error people! That's what wedding planning is all about! I want everything to be perfect. Less than 8 months away and I think I have plenty of time to play around with the designs! I'm sure I won't be saying that for too much longer! haha..

Design Time is Done.. Or so I think!

Here we are again.. This time with different invites, monograms and save the dates.. I had no problem really designing these things, because I love designing.. If it could pay the bills full time, it is all I would do! I am definitely open to designing things for people on the side... haha. ; ) . So, here I am, posting the Save the Date, Monogram, and Invitation.. 


-The Save the Date: The only thing I changed since I last posted was the font.. I wanted it to match.  Of course our picture goes in the blank spot! 
-Monogram: Pretty much the same, it's just that the R's are changed.
-Invite: It is alot different.. I am hoping that people think it is pretty.. it kind of goes with everything.. I am going to definitely need confirmation that the design is pretty.. 
-The font for the R&R is called Adorable.  I got it from a free font website..
-I am pretty sure that all the script is "Adorable." I really like the font.. Seems very simple...

Looks Like More Design Time...

Well, who woulda thunk it! I am changing pretty much everything! BUT not for the reason you might think... When I started designing my invites and things, I had the trial for Photoshop and Illustrator on my Mac.  Well, when I bought the Creative Suite, it was planned that I was going to share it with someone and they had a PC.  (It is easier to turn my Mac to a PC using a program called Boot Camp.) Unfortunately, little old me thought it was going to be as easy as 1,2,3... Or that's what the person chatting with me on Apple.com would of liked me to believe.. For a couple hundred of dollars, yes easy as 1,2,3.. Without a couple of hundred dollars it was going to be 5x^-2y^10 over 2x^-1(-3x^-3y^-1)^-2.... (Sorry, had to.. haha) So, I have now put the Creative Suite on my brothers computer.. Problem is.. All the Mac Fonts are not accessible to me. Zapfino=OUT.  My logo is ZAPFINOOO!!! What is a girl to do? Well, Re-Design Everything.. It means new Monogram, New Invites, New Everything.   Now, I have based everything off those dang swirls and it will be as close as I can get it! With some help from free fonts online, things should turn out nicely I am hoping.. Wish me luck!
