The blissful season has arrived!

Ahh....fall is in the air. This glorious season filled with crisp colorful leaves dangling on trees, soft cool breezes against the skin and the anticipation of the holidays that are around the corner.

It's also the beginning of a new season with my passion, Tamagrams. 2 weeks ago I was able to introduce the new invitation line I've worked the past 4-5 months on designing. I'm so please with the final product in print. The stores I have spoken with have been big encouragements as well as they have embraced the designs.

The designs consist of baby shower, bridal shower, cocktail, kid birthday, miscellaneous and also 2 seasonal invitations that can be used this time of year that I will post below (Fall & Christmas).

The first seasonal is the Black & Spice Floral that would be a sophicated design for hot fall, October/Halloween, or Thanksgiving parties. I like that is looks "autuminal" (i love that word) but doesn't have the cliche cobwebs, Halloween spiders, or normal themed decore. It's a little bit more feminine with a touch of sophistication.

The Whimsical Christmas Tree invitation is the other "seasonal" invite. I am actually going to use this as my Christmas cards for this year by putting a vertical picture of my husband, me, and our first baby that is due in 4 weeks underneath the tree and a sweet message along the bottom.

New Fresh Designs Coming Soon....(drum roll please) :)

Lately, I have been working hard on new designs for invitations. The first ten designs will be offered in a 4x9 size. I'm looking forward to the final product in print. I'm also very excited about the new designs that are taking shape...they are fresh, clean, and have a nice variety of soothing colors.

On another note: Tamagrams will also be exhibiting at the NYC Stationary Show next May. It will be wonderful to be apart of my first card/invitation show and be able to introduce the designs on a national level. I look forward to meeting new faces and growing as a company.

God is so good and I'm so grateful He has given me this opportunity to let me grow creatively and fulfill this entrepreneuial spirit.

New Offering

I have chosen to design because creating breathes life into my imagination and fulfills the side of my creative soul. I'm excited to now also be designing for the invitation line I will hope to introduce in mid summer. The first invitations I will introduce will mainly consist of baby shower, bridal shower, and birthday. Continous expansion is like planting seeds, watching them blossom; and one day knowing it will turn into a beautiful garden for all to enjoy. If you like Tamagrams greeting cards, please keep watching because you haven't seen anything yet. I am in my infancy and I have new ideas taking shape everyday.

Thankful

It's official! Two week ago tomorrow Tamagrams made it's introduction to the public. When ever one decides to go out on their own and introduce a product they create; where one pours their heart and soul into something there is always the nature of being vulnerable and exposed in the process. I can't help but feel so encouraged by the market place's open arms and welcoming of the "grams". I'm thankful for the opportunity, the ability and the conversations I have everyday. I'm truly enjoying each step of this incredible experience.

Tamagrams; the journey begins

How exciting life can be when we are set free to do what we actually want to do instead of what we have to do...the word that comes to my heart more than any other is 'thankful'. Being in a place God has paved the way for me to be...not all journeys are easy to get to...the road can be bumpy at times, but only makes us stronger and more refined in our characters, shapes our thoughts on a world of topics and opens our eyes to what is outside of our safe & easy box.

After several years in the building material sales world, I have been lead to this sweet place. This place where I've had the opportunity to dig deep into my heart, discover and cultivate my own sense of styles, shapes, textures and colors to share with people. It's been so incredible to see how God's timing is so perfect; It's exciting to see how things fall into place when things are meant to be.

It's the beginning of a beautiful journey I look forward to sharing. My hope and wish is that Tamagrams would reach that special place inside a person's heart to reflect the warmth of a smile or chuckle. To help express a positive thought, and encourage people to always say what they feel inside. Many times we never know how the effects of kindness can brush up against someone's life and forever bring change.
