Grab your dance shoes..it's time for a swing thing!

River's Edge Community Church hosts an annual Swing dance...and it's almost here!  I created a new flyer for this year's dance and think it looks great!  Swing dancing is so much fun-- and a great work out...give it a try, you'll love it!  Working on the flyer made me want to dance-- I can't wait for November 7th to get here!  Grab your dancing shoes and fit the floor...it's time for a swing dance!!

Seasonal Sweets Business Cards

Seasonal Sweets, which is located in Burlington Vermont has had their business cards created and ready to go.  I just ordered them a few days ago and think they look great.  Seasonal Sweets is currently specializing in wedding cakes and seasonal bakery items (this fall--apple pie or crisp seem to be a big hit!!)  Hopefully is the upcoming year they will be able to open a store front they've had their eye on for a while now.  Just waiting for the perfect time to make their move! :)

Happy Birthday Masiah!

I have been bad about blogging recently..sorry!  I can't believe how time flies!!  It seems like just yesterday my office mate today me she was pregnant!...and now he's getting ready to turn 2 on October 2nd..I can't believe it. :)  So a week or two ago Sheree (Mommy) asked me to create an invitation for Masiah's 2nd birthday party and naming ceremony.  Sheree wanted to use the colors purple and gold and use a cute recent picture of her growing boy. :) 

Not  sure what a "naming cermony" is....dont' worry I didn't either!!  After I asked Sheree a ton of questions, this is what I was able to gather.  A naming ceremony is an African tradition where members of the family and officiant gather around the child being named.  The parents tell everyone what the name means and then family and friend pray over the child.  The officiant also has certain herbs that the family eats as they prayer...each herb means something significant to be prayed for.   I think it was pretty cool to learn about...I love learning about different cultures-- it's what makes us unique! :)   Check out the invitation:

Happy Birthday little man!!

We're been blogged! :)

Check out Elegant Event Sitters blog!  They have mentioned how much they enjoyed working with Flair Marketing!  I'm thrilled Tish was happy with my work and that we will be working together in the future.  It's actually been a lot of fun getting to know her and we now keep in touch periodically with upcoming events and things that might help each other with business.  Fun times for Flair Marketing!!

Seton Montessori Logo

Seton Montessori is based out of Chicago, Illinois and was looking to spruce up their logo idea to make it so they would be proud to display it! We came up with a red and blue version...one for the Institute and one for the School. It was great working with them and I hope to do further projects for them in the future. :) As I mentioned in the previous blog, their logo was inspired by a teaching tool called the Table of Pythagoras. Take a look and let me know what you think!! :)

The inspiration:
Here is what we came up with for the final logos.....
The Blue Logo:

The Red Logo:

I think they look great and my contacts at the school were very excited about them and can't wait to begin using them!! So if you're ever in Chicago and want to see a nice logo from Flair Marketing...stop by their school haha :)

Montessori School Logo and vacation!

Wow, I've been super busy recently!! Back from vacation and trying to keep up and catch up with all the pieces. I've gotten the business cards printed and while I was away they arrived--and look great!

Since I've been home I landed a client located just outside of Chicago. It's a Montessori School and Institute looking to update their logo. They already had a pretty good sense of what they were looking for and wanted to someone to punch it up a bit and put some professional touches to it. The logo was inspired by an instrument students in Montessori schools use in their math classes, called a Table of Pythagoras. One version of the logo will be Red for the Institute and one will be blue for the School. Stay tuned to see the final result!

On another note, vacation was amazing!! It was the perfect week in N. Myrtle Beach, SC. It was sunny all week and H - O - T!! Every morning we would wake up for breakfast then play on the beach (I mostly read on the beach...one of my favorite things to do at the beach!) until 3 or 4 then head back and visit the pool for a while. Then dinner and fun at night!! I will post some pictures when I get a chance to upload them to my computer.

Finally my business cards are designed!!

Finally!! I have been playing with business card designs for what seems like forever and they are finally together and have been ordered!! I went round and round with design and color options and I just couldn't decide on what I liked the best...but here it is:

Just thought I would share my cards...maybe you will see them around some time soon!! :) Anyways, there should be a few more projects coming along shortly so stay tuned to see what comes up!

Going on vacation next week to North Myrtle Beach, SC with the family...will blog about that when I get back....lots of fun pictures will be posted I'm sure!

Seasonal Sweets - the finale :)

So my brother and have gone back and forth with ideas for his bakery business that he's started in Vermont. He is super excited about finally having a logo and the next step will be to put together business cards. He finally decided on the final version of the logo. He and I both love the feel of this logo and it reminded us of a store front sign in Old Ellicott City or Burlington, VT where his bakery is located. It's cute and the chocolate covered strawberries make me want chocolate...which I guess is the idea, so that's great!



Yummy! Now I need to start working on the business card ideas. ;)

Hello Atlanta..get ready for Flair Marketing

Last week I got a client in Atlanta, GA! I am working on some promotional postcards that she can send out to potential clients. It's called Elegant Event Sitters and they watch the kids at corporate parties & weddings. I spoke with the owner on Saturday and she's super sweet and loves her job! She wants something fun that will catch people's attention so I came up with 3 ideas and sent them off to her to see what she thought.....and she loved them! She loved 2 of the ideas so much that she wants to use Flair Marketing for some stuff down the road AND she's passed along my site to some of her friends. Couldn't ask for a better scenario...so exciting.

Anways, Here is what her final version of the postcard looks like:

Back:I think they turned out really great and I'm already talking about working on stuff in the future with her! Fun times for Flair Marketing!

Seasonal Sweets..sounds yummy!

So I've been working on logo ideas for my brother's company located in Burlington, Vt. It's a cute town that reminds me very much of an historic town with "the square", etc....very much like Old Ellicott City, MD. He has been doing a lot of work on his own and finally decided he wanted/needed to make everything look unique to his image and become a true business...and here I am to help! These are the 2 ideas we've come up with...we are in the process of deciding on the final version so we can go ahead and make his business cards and get the name out there. Seasonal Sweets is the name he selected and I LOVE it...it makes me want something sweet and yummy just thinking about it.


His idea for the name came from his idea for the bakery..he wants to offer cakes, pies, and other sweets using mostly things that are in season. Fall might bring more pumpkin or apple pie, Christmas time there might be more sugary sweets and ginerbread..spring more peach and berry items...you get the idea. :) Things are finally off and rolling so we will see where he goes!...I'm very excited for him!!

New to the blogging world!

Ok, so I'm finally making my blogging debut! My small group had a fiesta at my house earlier this week and I decided I should probably dive into this and give it a try! So who knows, let's see how this goes LOL. Needless to say, I'm still trying to figure out everything on the dashboard and what each thing means. But at least I have a background and I've started my first entry..yea!
