Everyday is a splendid day

I love Splendid Days. We recently put together a brochure of sorts. A little package of beautiful postcards tied with ribbon – awww! They were sent to the media recently and received some glowing reviews.

Also here you’ll see a brand new business card. What joy these girls bring and I think it is reflected beautifully in everything they do.

Ava’s Tea Party

Prue — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 11:30:13 +0000

Every now and then something special appears in my inbox. Last week it was a little idea by Siobhan and Vanessa at Details, Details!

It began with the story of Ava Rosemeyer. A little girl who tragically passed away at the age of three. Just like most little girls Ava loved tea parties. So every August a tea party is held in her honour. Given that Siobhan and Vanessa love a party, they developed the idea of The Beauty Full Collectio n. Limited edition printable tea party invitations by nine Australian designers. ‘An invitation from the Beauty Full collection provides an opportunity to bring people together and celebrate life.’

I was honoured to be part of the project. I also had the great pleasure to design the logo and accompanying material for The Beauty Full Collection.

To hear more about Ava’s story, visit Ava’s mum Sheye Rosemeyer’s blog.

For details of how you can purchase these special little invitations, visit Details, Details!

Now, get off the computer and go make a memory with your loved ones.

Spot the new Polka Dot

Prue — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 00:47:07 +0000

Ooh, what a fun project this has been. For a while now Ms Polka and I have been developing a brand new look and a brand new blog for Polka Dot Bride. The biggest and best wedding blog in Australia. Our aim was to revolutionise blogging and give the reader a true interactive experience (you can now post your own wedding, interact with vendors and ask important questions like “Where should I put my lipstick on the day?”). A huge thanks to Matt from Webnovation for his timely development of the site. He worked very hard on this project and the result is just as we imagined. And a big thanks to Ms Polka for asking me to be part of her latest journey. It was too much fun!

Buttons and trims…

Prue — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 07:07:45 +0000

I love designing for nice people. So I am lucky that all my clients are nice, including Greg from Premier Centre. What a lovely man. He is in the fashion business selling all kinds of gorgeous trims, buttons, accessories and fun things to fashion designers around the country. I gave his business a fresh new look…

Little Press Release

Prue — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 09:53:32 +0000

I heart Little Elk. Mimi wears her gumboots everyday. I don’t really know what she looks like without them on her feet. Not too long ago I had the pleasure of popping a little press release together for Sally. With the help of Jen from The Letterbug, we have whispers that Little Elk shall soon be appearing in a few magazines – Yipee! Look out for it. I also designed a sticker for teh inside of every pair of boots. Who said that a compulsory info sticker had to be boring?

I also hear whipsers that fab new products will be coming to Little Elk. I’ll keep you posted.

Simply splendid

Prue — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 05:19:30 +0000

I love seeing all the pieces of a new business come together. And so, I have great joy in showing off some work I have done for Grainne and Tania at Splendid Days over the past few months. For starters I was lucky enough to be the Photographic Assistant and Assistant Stylist on their gorgeous photo shoot with Pru from Little Bird.

Lots of images from our shoot can now be seen at the new Splendid Days website…

There are a few other pieces I will share in the coming days. First I need to figure out what I can celebrate that will require a marquee…

Open and shut!

Prue — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 03:49:43 +0000

Every now and then I get asked to work on a project that gets me thinking. Tastar Auto Doors was one of those. We totally take for granted that the automatic doors we walk through every day need installing and maintaining and it takes professionals like Craig and Sharon to do that. I loved this project as I had to think of ways to convey the everyday automatic door simply. Here’s what we came up with …(See a T for Tastar and a depiction of the top of two doors coming together).

Tastar Auto Doors is the first and only auto door business to be based in Tasmania. So if you have a door in Tassy, you probably need Tastar.

(Hello Tassy)

Ohh la la!

Oh how I love to design for The Cupcake Wrapper Co. Not just because Kath and Nat have lovely ideas, great passion and a warm sense of fun but because the end result is always so irresistibly sweet. Their new Paris wrappers are no exception! Oh La La indeed!

Now, how to work them into my next party…

A true style file

Prue — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 07:14:01 +0000

I have been very lucky lately to work with some very talented and creative people. Tobi of Threads inc. is no exception. She’s given up her day job and started a wonderful business helping people find confidence in their wardrobes and themselves. If you need a lift in the closet department, then Tobi is your girl. She’s all about creating a wardrobe that suits your body shape, your lifestyle and your budget. She works with pieces you already own and mixes it up with everyday must haves that will ensure you feel good from the inside out.

Tobi will also be reviewing style on the streets and showing you how everyday people are wearing it well. No more hating your wardrobe – Hoorah!

We heart We Heart Books

Prue — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 09:50:54 +0000

I met Katie and Lou from We Heart Books some time ago at Magnolia Square. We were stationed next to each other in the middle of a quiet wintery market. It was so cold and so quiet that the time could have passed by so slowly. Well, that could have been the case but at this particular market I was too busy getting to know the girls and buying all their books! Utterly delightful are they both and their books are nothing short of wonderful. Lucky for me I got to design a web button and ad to go with all this wonderfulness. Thanks girls!
