Stinson-Autrey Wedding (May 22, 2011)

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY, ERIN AND MARTY!

Earlier last year, I had a wonderful wedding planner by the name of Krista Debuhr contact me for one of her clients. We decided on a consult date so I could meet with the couple and discuss wedding stationery for a late spring wedding. After arriving at the consult, to my surprise, the beautiful bride was Erin Stinson. I have known Erin for a few years through a mutual friend, Kisha King Modica, and I was so excited to meet the love of her life, Mardy Autrey.

Erin and Marty wanted an invitation that reflected their love for each other and their close and personal wedding ceremony and reception. The cream, coral, and aqua/turquoise color pallet creates a wonderful combination for a spring wedding. This 5x7 Quartz Jacket with ribbon and front double layered tab is the housing unit for the tri-layered invitation, RSVP postcard, and accommodation card.

I am so excited to tell you all about my newest love, Pinterest. . What can I say is, I am ADDICTED (thanks to my dear friend Auburn for introducing me)! I am a true believer in vision boards and Ask, Believe, Receive and Pinterest helps with visualizing goals, dreams, and even ideas.

Pinterest allows you to “pin” pictures of ideas, recipes, products, quotes, and anything else you might have found on the internet that you would like keep. One you have an account set up, you can repin items that other members have added to their “boards” or add your own.

NEW YORK CITY: HERE I COME--National Stationery Show

"PAPER POWER"

The National Stationery Show is my yearly creative refresher. It is a place where only people LOVE who paper can truly relate. It is a stationer’s own society. Rows and rows of vendors, just to cater to my stationery needs: printers, ribbon, adhesive, and PAPER!

This is the first year/time I have visited NYC by myself. I have friends in NYC, so I wasn’t too worried. It was very refreshing, just me and my thoughts.

I booked a hotel that was located in New Jersey only .50 of a mile away from the convention center. Once I got to NYC, I realized that I would have to CATCH THE FERRY to get to back and forth, but once I got the hang of it on day #1 it was great.

Brunch at Hell’s Kitchen with a group of ladies and gentleman (yes, one man) in the stationery business was the highlight of my trip. It is one thing to be a part of a group of people who understand and go through the same challenges that you do, but I could not have prayed for a better group of people to call a support network.
For the next two days, I browsed the 900 exhibitors at the National Stationery Show and visited with my NYC friends !!!!!
