a.m. jewels was looking to evolve her look - a.m. jewels, version 2, if you will.

Her first jewelry show was upcoming, and she was in need of business cards,

order forms, and display cards. We produced a glitzy, grassy look. Nevertheless, 

we are ever-evolving beings and designers, so stay tuned for her latest re-vamp - 
a.m. v.3?

In the meantime, check out a.m. jewels on etsy! Handmade couture jewelry that is

created with soul, heart, artistry, and a true talent for jewelry making.

At the show!

Wedding Season

Single Panel Card, Front and Back

Folded Card, Front and Inside

Just in from a road trip up the East Coast. When you've known someone since 
the good ol' days of recess and snack time, you make sure you're there to 
celebrate in their wedding festivities - regardless of travel time (about 30 hours 
spent in the car in the last 72 hours...).

The past few weeks, months really, have been filled with friends, and love…
and friends in love. For my lovely friends, I adorn their gifts with 
personalized cards. Though simple, it's a great way to let them know 
you are honored to take part in the celebration of their 

special day. (Unfortunately, in all of the excitement of both 
family and friends reunions, I missed out on snapping a photo of the cards! 
The virtual versions will have to do for now...)

Tap Tap Tap

Tapping The Keys Sticker

I work for an ad agency on the production side of the business. 

When you deal in mass quantities of ads, proofing the 
lot of them can only be supplemented  with an Electric Feel. 
MGMT keeps the foot tapping and the mouse clicking, as the keyboard 
taps endlessly to end of the work day. 

In honor of motivating music, Techno Thursday was born. 

(Because Music That Motivates And/Or Has A Great Beat Thursdays, 

didn't have that same ring to it...)

What music gets you through tough work days?

"Electric Feel" font, as it is coincidentally named, was downloaded from dafont.com*

August Calendar

August Calendar

I use the embarkation into a new month to spark inspiration for design. 
The seemingly endless heat has me thinking Summer may 
never hand over its weather-reigns to the Fall.

August for nearly all of our youths, marks the end of lazy days in the sun, 
of running free with friends, and, of course, the annual inevitable
transition back to education and into (my favorite season) the Fall.

It is to reach a rough 97 degrees, with 90% humidity today. 
Is there any sign of Fall where you live?
