{Introducing} Wooden Cut Out Monograms

By now I am pretty sure you have figured out that I just love monograms and all things personalized... and have seen that I decal just about everything I can get my hands on.  I am so excited to introduce my newest monogram goodies... wooden cut out monograms!

These come as the bare wood cut out monogram but can be painted to your liking (the one above was painted by client, Kathleen - She did a great job).

Sizes come in all even sizes from 6" - 36" tall.  Sizes 6" - 18" tall are available on my website.  Larger sizes must be ordered via email: ten23designs@gmail.com.

MOPs... Mother's Of Preschoolers

When I first told my husband I was joining MOPs, he asked me if it was some kind of cleaning group.  Until the day I went to a yard sale and a MOPs mom shared what it really was with me, I had no idea either... and quite honestly, may have thought the same thing as my husband.

Now that I have been a part of MOPs for a couple of years, I actually learned that it kind of is like a cleaning group... we just cleanse the soul and mind.  We help other moms learn how to be better moms, stronger moms, smarter moms.

My MOPs Murray Hill group has helped me several times in the past "clean" up a mental mess I was in by helping me relax, praying with me... and for me.

Our MOPs Murray Hill group has been so blessed with wonderful, loving caregivers in our nursery so that we are able to meet in peace (with the children in another room).  This year we decided to give our caregivers a gift that we hope will help them during these hot summers months and future months to come after those.

{New Product} Floating Place Cards

 A few months ago I had the privilege to work with some talented NE Florida wedding industry vendors.  Christy Whitehead Photography was the lead photographer on the set and also one of the theme designers along with Southern Charm Events and myself. 

The centerpieces by A Fantasy of Flowers were just beautiful.  I designed and created each of the peacock monogram plates and Tanya of Southern Charm Events added some bling to the chargers with glitter.  They really complimented each other quite well.

We were determined to add some special touches that were new and unique.  After racking my brain (and brainstorming with my 14 year old son who mentioned how cool it would look to make things "float" using something clear and vinyl), we came up with floating place cards. I JUST LOVE THEM!

Floating place cards are perfect for any special occasion. The personalized place cards also make for a great keepsake for the guests... so it knocks out the need for favors as well.

These are currently available by custom order via email (ten23designs@gmail.com).  Custom fonts and lettering are available.

{Real Event} Tea Party Birthday

Recently I got to help one of my good friends Ashley, owner of Kennedy Kakes, to design and decorate for her daughter's 3 birthday... the tea party birthday.  The event was held in the fern garden of Flair Wedding & Events / Fair Celebrations.  

Ashley, being the creative baker she is and me, being the creative designer I am, made a great team!  I designed all of the party printables, created a custom banner and of course, added some decals.

The dessert table was complete with a fabulous custom flower cake, cake pops, cake push pops, cookie pops and sweet candy.  I made the cake banner / bunting and the food tent cards.  

 Up close view of the cake detail and cake banner / bunting. See what I mean... We made a great team!

I added decals with each of the children's names to the tea cups.

I absolute LOVE the banner I made for her.  It is glitter cardstock with burlap.  The picture does not show all of the details... it was so beautiful sparkling in the sunlight.

QR Code : Stamp Your Brand

Adding your QR code to your already existing marketing material just got easier with my QR code stamps. 

QR Codes are on the rise and can be found just about everywhere.  Last week I even introduced the QR Code decals that can be used on cars, venue doors and endless other places.  

My new QR codes start at 1" for only $20 (special introductory price).  You can stamp business cards, postcards, flyers and other marketing material you send out.  They are also great to stamp on packages... and if you are like me, the signature receipts when I eat out.  Hey... those receipts travel through several hands before they hit storage. I'm sure someone is bound to scan one and POOF, welcome to my Facebook page!

Be on the lookout, I will be using mine everywhere!  What creative places can you think of to use the QR stamp to leave your "mark?
