I heard it through the grapevine...

I am absolutely THRILLED with the business I have gotten lately and I really have to hand it to my DC fans - they have been ab fab about spreading the Razzle Dazzle word. Much apprec, ladies!

This group of invites is for an after rehearsal dinner (for the delightful d-rocker Pam Hale) and I bet the attendees will be raising some HALE! (Sorry, I couldn't resist) Anyways, these are all generic so they could work for anything from a corporate event to a birthday or engagement party. Don't forget to click on the image to see it larger!

I really must say, I have been outdoing myself lately. These look awesome! Stay tuned to find out which design Dougie & Mere choose.


What a Classy Lass!

Finally!

I was FINALLY able to pawn off my dotty invite on someone...my impressionable little sister. Thanks, Libby, for listening to your wise older sister! Sometimes I really do know what looks good.

And this is what Carter's invite turned out looking like.
Cute twist on a very popular design!

Congratulations!

To everyone with a wedding coming up this summer!

One Trick Pony

I am not. Although my stationery is super cute and super fun to work on, my day jobs have not been very glamorous. Right out of college I was a designer for an Industrial Machinery business to business magazine, then a creative designer for a direct mail ad agency, and then I was a designer for Intermark Group ad agency. Ok, that's kind of a lie. The agency has several parts (PR/Interactive/Creative/Automotive) and I was a designer for Intermark AUTOMOTIVE. Yep, that's right, I designed car ads & collateral all day. So I guess that's kind of how Razzle Dazzle was born...In order to keep my creative edge (and sanity), I had to design something my style in my spare time.

If you, or someone you know, needs a little design help with their advertising or collateral (or a car ad) send them my way. I do more than invites & stationery!

Here are some others who also appreciate my creativity...


poster for the event, also designed a t-shirt, web burst & icon for the invite


print ad


front 1/2 of a postcard for Carriage House (no, not CH weddings)
I have also done several other postcards for them. (such as the really cute "do you like it haute? top 5 fall fashion must haves" that I don't have digitally)




Meredith is always such a good customer! I designed her biz cards, letterhead, some stuff for her site and the gift cert above (which would make a fabulous spring surprise!) :)


This is a sticker for the paper chase - I also designed the logo, bag imprint, etc.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Wedding season, that is. Business is really picking up! Yea! Today I am sharing some invites I did for a Stock-the-Bar party for a friend of Lucy Thompson's. I am really into the typewriter font lately, as you can tell - it is really clean yet still fun, which is what I am all about! I am also digging on the square invite with the small blue dots & big green dot - this is the 3rd time I have used it!! (Obviously I am the only one who loves it because no one else has chosen it! ) It is SO simple which is totally something I never do, so I think I am loving it just because of that.

PS: Meredith's friends chose the Damask invite for her party. Very cute and classy!


Absolutely Dotty
(This is pretty generic so it could be used for pretty much ANY party)

Square Wino

Can work be fun?

Absolutely!! Razzle Dazzle is never really work and today has been no different. I have had a great time coming up with some designs for an engagement party invite for the very talented, one & only, Meredith Leach! Thanks to her friends who so graciously hired me!

Her party invite ideas are below.

You're Invited!

These designs range from Engagement parties to Birthday parties. If you can dream it, I can design it. One of my best clients, Sarah Heaton, has commissioned me not only for her personal projects (Paisley & Grammy), but has also hired me to design invites for the events she plans at Bradley Arant Rose & White (DaVinci & Construction [not shown]). She is very creative so she's an easy customer. She comes up with the idea, I just interpret it. :) Thanks, Sarah! You are a great friend and an AWESOME PR agent!

I would also like to give a shout out to Beka Nall - She is really the person who lit a fire under my butt and who I credit with most of my business. B Nalla, I am forever indebted to you!

Invitations are my personal favorite thing to design. I hope you enjoy browsing through them as much as I enjoy creating them!

Save-The-Dates

'Tis the Season for weddings! These are some recent designs friends have used for their save the date cards. Engagement Party, shower & invites in general coming next!

The first 4 Save-the-Dates were all "options" for my friend, Meredith Leach. Mere's a gifted interior designer, not to mention creator of the FABULOUS mere bags. She generously sent me a bag as payment for design services and it is so stylish, beautiful and oh-so fierce! I would LOVE one of her new white bags for spring. Check her out here (http://shopmere.com/1.html).

More Kiddos...

Because my friend Ann Blair is expecting TWINS, I thought I would continue on the children's route. Congrats, AB!

To all those big party throwers and goers, party design is coming, so please stay tuned!

PS: Everything I post here is just an example...If you see something you like but want a different design, shape, size, color, or font, that is totally ok! These are just a jumping off point - something to give you an idea of what the Razz is all about.
