Birthday Pool Party Invitations

Here are the birthday invitations for Tommy and Kelly's birthday pool party. I really like the shark, think I did a great job on it. I like the mermaid too, it really surprised me, it turned out better than I thought it would.

As you can see, I took out some information on the invitations, its gone for safety. The general public doesn't need to know when and where this pool party is happening, and they don't need my friends number. The one thing that I thought I could have made better was the gradient in the background. I thought the blue at the bottom may have been too dark, but you could still read the info after it was printed. My friend said the gradient looked fine.

I must go, have many things to do and a little one to look after; very busy, but please stay tuned. Happy Imagining!

The Birthday Shark

I've been busy, taking care of a baby is busy work. Right now, I'm designing a birthday party invitation for my Godson, Tommy, and Kelly, his little sister. Their birthdays are 5 days apart, but they are 6 years apart. This is the shark for the invitation, the theme is underwater because it's a pool party. For Kelly's portion of the invitation, the design theme will be mermaids.

I also have a wedding that I'm going to be in this Saturday for my very good friend, my Sis Janice. I'm tired, but I do promise that I will be coming back and blogging more. I know I say that a lot, but, I think things are starting to lighten up.

Stay tuned. Happy Imagining!

Looking Through the Barrel of a Canon

This is my Christmas present. I have wanted a DSLR for years, and found a good deal on this package. I got a camera - Canon EOS Rebel T5, 2 lenses and a camera bag; and the store even threw in a 16GB memory card.

Here is the inside of the bag.

The front of the Canon.

The back of the Canon.

I am still familiarizing myself with the camera. It is fun to practice by taking Pictures of Mara Jade and MadCat. Once the weather warms up a little, I can take Mara out for a walk and take some outdoor pictures.

Well, I better go, I hear my little one asking for me :-). Happy Imagining!

Happy New Year! Now to Get Back at It!

It has been a long time since I have posted on my blog. I was pregnant, then had my baby girl on October 17th. It is awesome, I love her very much! It can also be exhausting, which is to be expected since this is my first child.

I will be back with projects, I am starting to get back to normal and am getting use to toting a little one along with me. And, maybe someday, she will be my little helper.

My husband and I are Star Wars fans and named our daughter Mara Jade. He has read a lot of the expanded universe books, and that is how we came up with our daughters name. For anyone who has read the Star Wars books, they know Mara Jade is Luke Skywalker's wife. I won't go into her whole story, you can Google it.

Happy New Year to everyone. Happy Imagining!
