Rachel's Graduation Party


My friend Rachel just graduated from Bearden High School! Congrats Rachel!!

Brooke & Logan Wedding Day Papers







A continuation of this vintage garden theme! Their wedding was beautiful! Dara's Garden was the location, where she has ceremony and reception sites built into the gardens. The weather was not as planned so the original plan was scratched, but plan b turned out beautiful & very intimate!!! What a Party!!!

Brooke & Logan's Invitations



this was option two...

These were the awesome address labels... so much easier than handwriting or calligraphy!

This is a scanned image of their invitation envelopes. This way you can see how they work!

These are Brooke & Logan's Invitations, and as you can see, I get better as I go along! I love these!!! Brooke came up with the Label idea, and they turned out great!

Stryker Dinner


These are the invitations that my husband sent out for a business dinner!

Sydney's Girls Night



These are the invitations for my sweet niece Sydney's 9th Birthday Sleepover!!!

Brooke & Logan's Showers

These were the shower invitations for the family shower - black and white, and the friends shower - black, white & blue (the same blue from the save the date!) What a fun time we had!!

Brooke & Logan's Save the Date


These are the Save the Dates for my Sister-in-Law's wedding! We used their engagement picture, taken by the extremely talented Meggie Velasco (don't they look fantastic?!?!?!!). Brooke wanted a vintage garden feel for her wedding and she thought the black & ivory damask pattern suited the theme well! It actually flows through all of her wedding papers!

Lindsay & Jason's Wedding




scanned image of the final program!

These are the invitations and programs from my good friends Lindsay & Jason's wedding! It doesn't show up perfect in the scan, but the brown border on her invitation was a bronze metallic paper that was just gorgeous!!! Lindsay is now expecting baby #1 and I hope its a girl so that I can get a baby girl announcement on here too!!!

Brummitt for County Commissioner


My friend, and new brother-in-law!!, Logan Brummitt ran for Knox County Commissioner, District 4B in the last election. He didn't get elected, but he did receive 11% of the vote... and as a first timer that's great... GO LOGE!! 

My Baby Shower

Front
Back

These were the invitations for my very own baby shower! The colors are also the colors of his room, which made it extra special! See, there I go with the circles again!!

Robin & Jason's Baby Shower



This invitation was for good friends of ours, Robin (my favorite dance maker-uper partner!) & Jason. Addresses & phone numbers have been hidden to protect the innocent, hehee! But you get the general idea... The popcorn label was for party favors. The "timer set" date was her due date & also ended up being her delivery date!!!

My Wedding Papers








These are my first attempt at wedding invitations, my own! I really loved the square size. I found an invitation with a vellum overlay, but it only came in purple, which was not in my color palette. I have a thing for circles and bright colors, so I put them all together :)

The Start

So, when I was planning my wedding a few years ago (to my fabulous husband!) I couldn't find any wedding invitations that would work. I found some where I liked the color, some that I liked the wording, some that I liked the size. But heaven forbid I could find just one with all of these attributes. After searching & stressing that I wouldn't find the perfect invitation (as all brides don't accept anything but perfect on their one most perfect day, ha! - those who know me know that my wedding day turned out crazy but no less perfect than I could have wanted!) I realized that I had the skills to make my own invitations. I had taken some graphic design classes in college, so I figured I would give it a go... and it worked!

After making those invitations, I ventured into the world of design in my professional life - doing brochures, flyers, invitations, postcards & newsletters for the company I worked for, and in my personal life - making party invitations, graduation announcements, wedding and shower invitations... you get the idea.

Now that I have found some time, I figured I would start "Sweet Sheets" to encompass all that I do! So if you are interested in having customized invitations or stationary, shoot me an email to mindy@sweet-sheets.com!
