break even

Break Even is a micro-label based out of Philadelphia, Pa. It was founded in 1997 by my husband! When he went back to school, BE had to calm down a bit. But recently it has been going strong with quite a few recent releases.

Please take a minute to check out the Break Even site. Or better yet, add yourself as a fan on the Facebook page. There can’t be a custom URL through Facebook until Break Even has 1000 fans…so tell all your friends!!! And please let us know what you think of the new BE look!

Is there anyone else out there using a Facebook page to promote your business? I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Jessica’s new cards came in! We wanted to keep them simple. Nice and clean! I love it. Mine came in too – but for those of you who are dying to see them….wait until next week. Sorry

This is my FAVORITE part though!!!

Jessica is a pediatric physical therapist. Check out her site!

pregnancy chic

I used to always pass by a maternity store named Belly and think it was the cutest thing in the world. When the owner retired, Elizabeth and Chelsea paired up to take over. Renaming the store From Belly to Baby, they started their business while finishing up school. This was temporary while they worked to create the brand they were dreaming up…Showing With Style. The name they came up with is so perfect. When you walk into the store, if you aren’t already pregnant, I kid you not, you either want to be pregnant, or at least know someone pregnant. I won’t deny, I (not currently or ever in the past pregnant) own a shirt from the store. I try to pull it off as a dress, but it is just a bit too short.

When Chelsea found out I was a graphic designer, one of the first thing she asked me was if I could help them create a vector from a sketch. Not a typical request, but it was nice that she knew what a vector was, and that she needed one Alice Dake had created a sketch for them that was simply beautiful. I was honored to be able to be involved in helping them create their new look, and I simply love it.

When they couldn’t decide on a final color for both of them, Chelsea came over for a bit and we played around to create a few samples for her and Elizabeth. Chelsea ended up with fuchsia and Elizabeth with lavender. The slight yellow background of the cards and the rounded corners are the perfect finishing touches to match the look and feel of the store. And I love that they went with 100% recycled paper!

Be sure to check out Alice ! And remember – designer’s don’t always have to work with a completely blank slate.

the awesomes make it official

Laura knew what she wanted for her wedding and for her invitations. Â Their wedding is based around toki doki figures that she has. Â They are great little vinyl figures that are just absolutely adorable and she is going to use them as cake toppers. Â I love it! Â But, I knew Laura was not going to find an invitation that matched her wedding perfectly, so I made it happen. Â She fell in love immediately! Â Matching Laura & Steve (the “Awesomes”) even further, the invitation will be mounted on a metallic (think *sparkly*) black card stock. Â AWESOME!
