Summer Splashes











Sofia's first official day of summer break from preschool was mighty exciting around here. With a record temperature of 95 and no air conditioning in our house, we spent most of the day in the kiddie pool. Almost nothing makes my little mermaid happier than splashing and playing in the water and almost any amount of water will do.
A look back in time, shows my babe happily playing in her pool ahem…bucket of water (2 years ago, age appx. 20 months).

Tips for Printing Custom Invitations from Jessica Wood {Fine Paper Goods}

Thank you for purchasing a digital invitation from my shop!

Here are some helpful tips to getting the very best quality print-outs:

1. Purchase a high quality paper from my favorite paper supplier, Paper Source.

Follow the link below to view an array of Eco-friendly, high-quality and gorgeous papers!


My favorite paper for printing invitations is the Luxe paper found at Paper Source. If your home printer works with 5 x 7 paper, I suggest using the Luxe 5 x 7 flat notes in white for printing your digital file. While you are at it, choose some A7 stylish European inspired flap envelopes.



2. Set your printer to "photo" quality. This will ensure the brightest, richest colors are printed on your invitations. Print your invitations!

3. The final detail that makes the invitations extra gorgeous is the rounded corners. I use the 1/2" squeeze punch corner rounder to round the edges of every invitation in my shop! It is available for $11.95 and adds a lovely touch to your custom invitation.



4. Mail your adorable and affordable invitations to your guests and look forward to your upcoming special occasion!
