It's engagement season! We've been working with some awesome new couples that were recently engaged and I realized I'd never shared my own engagement story!⁣
.⁣
It was November 18, 2004, the day of the Bonfire Memorial Dedication. Patrick and I had been dating 2 years and 2 days. Now I am notorious for guessing special things but the stars must have been aligned because he managed to pull off his first (and maybe last) surprise for me!.⁣
.⁣
There were many clues something was going on. First, he couldn't attend the memorial with anyone outside of the corps (this seems feasible). After the memorial, when we were talking on our ancient cell phones, he asked me if I would just meet him by the academic building to avoid traffic. Our friend dragged me over to the building, but we took a strange way to get there.⁣
.⁣ It's tradition for Aggies to get engaged under the century tree on campus (near the academic building) and many corps of cadets seniors will propose to their girlfriends with a saber arch. When we finally get to our meeting location, our friend says "hey look, it's a saber arch". There are still no lightbulbs going off for me. Finally, she says "Nicole, it's YOUR saber arch!" and nudges me in that direction.⁣
.⁣
I walk over and through the arch to the bench beneath the tree where he gets down on one knee and says things I certainly don't recall. I'm sure they had something to do with puzzle pieces or "you are my sunshine". But Patrick will NEVER let me forget that I laughed the entire time. He says it's because I was thinking "got you now, sucker" but I know that it was just the beginning of a lifetime of joy and laughter. Sweet friends and newly engaged couples, that's exactly what I wish for you always! I'd love to hear your love or engagement story!

This stunningly simple invite utilized a double thermography process in matte black and metallic rose gold. Another treat for the senses because who can resist running their fingers over raised type? Best wishes to Lauren and Seth on 1 month (and 1 day) as newlyweds! ⁣

On community over competition: I LOVE collaborating with other stationers on fun projects like these wood place cards for an event-filled wedding weekend. Not only do I get to do something I love in a short amount of time, but it inspires me by seeing their ideas and I get to admire their serious SKILLS! ⁣
.⁣
In an effort to grow and nurture a like-minded community in my life this year in many ways, I'm putting dates in my calendar with fellow creatives often. This month already holds 3 dates for co-working or creating art with some women I admire and cheer on here on social media and in real life.⁣
.⁣
Do you have some surefire methods to make sure your community is building a strong foundation? ⁣

This crazy warm weather brings me back to a trip we took a few years back to Key West. This polydactyl cat at the Hemingway House was so still, everyone on the tour thought it was a stuffed cat until he got up and stretched. Hope your #caturday has been nice and relaxing.

All my tactile learner friends out there, raise your hands 🙋. As visual as I am, if I don't physically touch something or go through the motions while learning it, I have trouble retaining it. I think that's why I love paper and printing methods like letterpress. I can see this image and feel the indentions in the paper and the toothiness of the cotton. I'm excited to design more line art floral and calligraphy invitations for my 2020 brides and grooms this year. ⁣

Merry Christmas! We’ve spent most of the day in Central Park enjoying the beautiful sunshine and vibrance of lots of visitors. Whatever your day has looked like, I hope you’ve felt joy, peace, and love 🎄

I love a subtle nod to a wedding’s destination. This beach wedding invitation suite focused on a simple calligraphy and typography layout. By adding this watercolor liner, we made an impactful pop of color that feels like waves hitting the sand.

Another personal project to practice PATIENCE as I paint (how’s that for alliteration?). Does anyone else try to rush through the details sometimes? Part of what drew me to painting was the peaceful movement of your brush in water, the relaxing feel of paint loading on the bristles, and watching the colors pool together like magic. Slowing down to work on this was just what I needed to bring back that visceral satisfaction.
