The Nimbus Factory Custom Wedding Invitations

Happy almost spring! I wanted to give everyone a peek at my wedding invitations since I did the same for my save the dates (see 2 posts below). I worked with my talented Nimbus co-worker, friend and illustrator Emily Dove on bringing this whimsy, Savannah-themed idea to life. So happy with the end result!

I've been DIY'ing my socks off lately for the wedding. I hope to post a few of my projects and "how-to"s in the upcoming weeks!

southern flourish magazine: spring 2011

I'd like to share some shots from one of my most recent projects. The Nimbus Factory was asked to collaborate with the magazine Southern Flourish to create an advertorial based on the art of the handwritten recipe card (using our recipe cards). I was delighted to photo style the shoot which took place in my very own kitchen. :)

I tried making a Chocolate Hazelnut Nutella cake to use as a prop, but it turned into a bit of a disaster. I sure had fun scarfing the leftover nutella down though. ;)

To subscribe to Southern Flourish, mosey on to their site- they have some really inspiring articles!

made in the 216: cleveland

The Nimbus Factory will be making an appearance at the super cool Cleveland-based art show, Made in the 216. I participated in the show (as dot+jim) 2 years ago when I first moved up there. It is a great opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done and sight-see in lovely Ohio City. Come visit!

the nimbus is coming!

Over the past 6 months, I've been working on a new business venture with 2 of my former American Greetings co-workers and 1 other design pal from San Diego. We have been developing our own design boutique called The Nimbus Factory (site up soon!). We will be selling our wares at Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco in December, along with the Made in the 216 show in Cleveland, OH next week. I have been photo styling like crazy this week- below is a taste of what we have in store!





On November 26 (Black Friday), our site will be officially open for business. Please stop by after you do all of your mall shopping!
