Hoot! Hoot!


I swear my friends are still getting pregnant and having babies left and right.
Even though I continue NOT being a fan of baby showers, I am, however, always
delighted to design their invitations. As usual, they don't stifle my creativity with
a lot of restrictions or rules, just the event details, the rest is left to my imagination.
For this invitation, I did know they are having a baby girl and
her room would be decorated in an owl theme.

Before I worked at Gear, I bought a lot of vector stock files because it was faster and
easier than illustrating everything myself. But I learned some tricks on the job, including
learning how to use the pen tool better. Now I can make those illustrations myself!
This owl was based on a vintage trivet I own but modernized with stripes and a fresh
color palette. The font is Napa which I love and got free from here.

Usually, I'm not very good at creating designs that work for more than
one person or project. But I can see this one working as a template with some
color changes for semi-customization. So what do you think?

baby fever

Let's get this straight. I don't have baby fever. Not in the slightest. But all my friends and even my sister have been popping out those little monsters like it's going out of fashion. Which means I've been designing a lot of baby shower invitations, attending said showers, and biding my time until my friends are older and their wombs have dried out. Yeah, I said it. I don't like baby showers. I like babies, bigger ones, but not baby showers. :)

My friend calls her first child, the baby.
Naturally, her second child will be called baby friend.

From working on this invitation I learned that showers for the second
and I am guessing any subsequent children, are called "sprinkles."
You learn something new every day.
