Thanks to everyone so far who's left comments on the Celebration Grow favors of yesterday. It's so interesting reading your comments and thoughts on favorite colors. I had thought the orange was going to be huge, but look what I know....so far the white and light blue are the front runners!

Coming in January 2008...

We are waiting to unveil 11 new collections of modern photo invitation designs from sister company Absorb Creative. The artwork is not quite complete, but we're so excited & we're having a hard time waiting, so here is a sneak preview of the collection christened by designer Kal Barteski: WIDGET.

Happy Customers

I just posted a lovely email from clients Tim and Cheryl on the Absorb Creative Blog. They were really happy with the Bali photo invitation that they selected for their wedding. Thanks Tim and Cheryl for taking the time to write us. We appreciate it!

Fun with wedding invitations

I love it when clients inject their wedding invitations with a big dose of specialness, and one way to do that is with some humor.

Here's a Sydney photo invitation that we did for Nicole and Neil that is fun and fresh. I can only imagine the laughter and good feelings that abounded when each lucky recipient opened up the invitation envelope and found Nicole and Neil in the bathtub!

Check out more recent customer orders on the Absorb Creative website. Each invitation is a reflection of the special couple, whether it's Jane & Jay's beach photos or Harold's 80th birthday party invitation with a photo of him as a kid.

Thanks and thank you cards

In getting ready for Fall, I just reordered my personalized thank you cards. I love having a set of thank you's on hand for those times when I suddenly need a card. Recently, I've used them to thank our children's caregiver, to say thanks for a lovely birthday gift (my birthday is next week!) and to thank a volunteer for a job well done.

I find that having beautiful thank you cards helps me be more expressive with my thanks. How many times have I thought "I should send a thank you note" but didn't have anything inspiring to write on?! Now I just grab my thank you card set, my Waterman fountain pen and my address book and I'm all set.

Speaking of thanks, I'd like to express my thanks to Anne Marie for mentioning Botanical PaperWorks and our plantable, seeded paper in the forum on Split Coast Stampers. Anne Marie writes a blog called Rest and Be Thankful that's definitely worth checking out.

I'd also like to thank Kal Barteski and her wonderful blog readers for visiting Stationery Scoop and leaving comments. I'm excited to meet you and I SO appreciate your feedback and encouragement.

We have some interesting products in the works that I'm excited to tell you about...in a couple of weeks, we'll have a full unveiling. But let me just say that if you love beautiful, well-priced stationery, you won't want to miss this. More to come!

Black and White Beauties

I've been watching and loving the color combo of black & white for sometime now, in home decor, textiles, purses and now stationery. Most of Absorb Creative's invitations are available in black, and when paired with a black & white photo....the results are stunning!

For the month of August, request "black" for your photo invitation and get this special customization (usually $40!) for FREE!! Just mention this posting when placing your order.
