Dianneerwin Creative just had a fun project – I got to design a logo & packaging label for flip Sammy’s Naturals – a flip flop freshener! Right up our alley. All natural and lemon scented.

Check out the art work!

So here I am at 12:58 am, still awake. I just repaired some major problems to the site. But after a few hours I think I have it fixed now. Here is a preview. At the moment it is basic. I just got the framework in there and now I am going to spice it up with some design elements. It looks so stale to me…. But it has been a long road to get this far. Man building websites is a tough job, but I am slowly learning the ropes of the information super highway! zzzzzzz

Captured moments

I made Conner & his mom a book in iphoto for Valentines day and they turned out so great. It really is a great gift to give someone. I have documented Van’s life with a photo a day pretty much since he was born, I went through them and pulled the best shots. This book is 40 pages full color and some black and whites. It has little comments about all of his firsts and so many shots of Van and Conner having fun and loving each other….

First Birthday Party

Happy Valentines Day! I thought I would share the invites that I made for Van’s first birthday. They took a while but I had so much fun doing them. I wanted to create a vintage carnival theme with all old timey feeling carnival images and brown tones. I found a vintage photo of some people riding in an old ferris wheel, I took them out and put a cute photo of Van in there. I thought it would be fun to create a circle theme on the inside and carry it through the party too. I printed little directions and used a vintage photo of old fashioned tickets on the other side. I found some carnival stickers and used them to affix the directions! I think they turned out really cute and I am excited to carry out this theme through the little peoples party! Vintage Carnival!
I am on the search for an old fashioned popcorn machine, a mini cotton candy machine & a fun littloe snow cone machine…. I am going to have some fun little goodie bags that tie in with the circle theme and the food will too. We are going to have a little book exchange as well!

Should be lots of fun!
I can’t believe my son is already one, what a wonderful year it has been… Thank you Van for helping me to grow up! I love you.

Baby Onesies

So I designed my first onesies, this is one of them. I told Van to look surprised… I think he takes direction pretty well. huh? Here is Van modeling my 123 king of the hill onesie!

I plan on hanging them all along the crib or outside on a clothes line and taking a photo of them once I am ready to do a photoshoot.

This was just for fun! I took the photo of this one after Van was wearing it, so it is a little wrinkled.

I will have several made in time for the beginning of Dec so I can sell them to people for gifts for the holidays! Let me know if you want one, the quantities will be limited, and each one is hand done. So they all look different. I am working on purchasing organic cotton onesies to design on with water and vegetable based inks so they will be 100% healthy for the little tots.

I wanted to list a couple of all natural companies/websites that I really like a lot, along with some books & Cd’s I really want to get for Van.
