Recently I attended the Alberta Magazines Conference in Calgary, Alberta. I decided at the last minute to enter one of my designs into the Showcase, and I’m glad I did because I received an Honourable Mention in the Best Feature Layout category!
The design will be featured, for a limited time, on the Alberta Magazines website, and can be seen below.

A new wedding invitation design has been added to the Invitation Portfolio. These beauties represent a winter wedding in which the client wanted a warmer and more personal feel to the design. Handcrafted, as always, using an array of patterned papers working together to create this elegant result. Under the translucent top sheet lies a light golden swirl pattern, bearing the details of the affair.
Set on textured black cardstock, a distressed-edge golden cardstock and coral-colored patterned paper serve as the color accent at the top, finished with a cream, paper flower and silver brad. Wrapped around the invitation is a bronze-gold lace ribbon, fastened in place by two more silver brads.
The design on the front translucent sheet is hand-drawn and colored in Illustrator. It represents a Hibiscus flower, which grows in tropical and temperate regions, an area from which the family originates.
Definitely a piece made with care!
Upon completion of a website development project between my colleague Andrew Degenhardt and I, we decided to send the client a unique thank-you card. I agreed to create one on behalf of the team, and am quite fond of the result. Therefore, into the Artwork Portfolio it goes!
I found this cool water bottle at Sobey’s the other day. Its shape drew my eye directly to it on the shelf of water bottles. Creative and original; I like it!
