FREEBIE :: Keep the FAITH Art Print

Last week was an INCREDIBLE week for me. 

Some things have happened over the last couple weeks, some that I have been working hard for & some were gifts. It's a great feeling when you get to see some of them come to fruition. Through it all I have kept the FAITH to see it happen. I believed in my DREAMS & never gave up! 

Whatever it is YOU are dealing with today, just remember to keep the FAITH, hold tight & realize your DREAMS, no matter how big or small, that they will come true - sometimes not as quickly as we would like but they will. The timing is ALWAYS perfect! 

Hold tight. Keep the FAITH. And never let GO.  

Inspired by the events that transpired these last couple of weeks. A new FREE Subway Art for YOU! ;)

These prints are great to print out & frame to add to your decor or simply print out & use to wrap a gift! Lots of options to choose from!

This print is sized for an 8 x 10 frame but could easily be enlarged to fit an 11 x 14 or whatever size you needed. Print it out at home or take it to a printer for a larger size.

Just download your FREE Keep the FAITH Subway Art here & ENJOY!

{DESIGN SERVICES} custom Blog Design added

     

FINALLY! I can "officially" commit, announce . . . .that I am adding BLOG DESIGN to my design services that I offer you all!

I have been wanting to add it for sometime but I just didn't want to offer it until I felt like I had a schedule that would 'allow' for the time it takes to schedule & design them. I didn't want to give up designing/ styling parties, custom designs or my other graphic services so I waited until my schedule could be adjusted before adding them.
Plus I needed to do mine as one of the firsts! Ok - done! :)

So to those that have asked, and asked when would I be able to offer blog design,  . . . .the answer is YES, now - let's do it! And thank you for being patient.

As you can see, I have updated, re-designed my own here.

Here is the 'before' picture . . . 

And look at it now! =) I LOVE it - simpler, more streamlined but still keeping with my brand!

It's not that I disliked my old blog design but I wanted to update it as much as possible & I feel now it's getting there. I still am "tweaking" all the pages under the tabs at the top BUT I do have info under all of them now, until I can implement some more ideas to it. ALWAYS a work 'in progress' right?

I have a few blog designs in the works already from clients and will be sharing them with you as they are completed. 

One of the blog designs I finished up right before mine, was for Cineca over at Dreamin 'N Details. I forgot to take a screen shot of her "before" but here's what it looks like now! 

I have a few blog designs in the works already from clients and will be sharing them with you as they are completed. 

Are you needing some BLOG work done? Maybe just a facelift? Please feel free to email me at laura@eyecandyeventdetails.com & I can get a custom quote right back to you.

I LOVE custom work. I LOVE graphic design, so if you ever want to know about any of the graphic services I offer, just ask! OR you can click on the tab above that says "GRAPHIC DESIGN" here on my blog & I have items listed that I can do.

My experience: I have over 20+ years IN the industry! I studied Graphic Design + more in college & all jobs in DESIGN my entire life - ranging from various advertising agencies, newspaper, yellow pages, & retail advertising companies to being an instructor at a local college. 
My freelance has included everything from corporate client work to small rock bands - I pretty much have designed a little bit of everything over my years.

One more thing, if you have been thinking about having a few DESIGN elements done, like say you need a logo AND a new blog header, contact me first as I can give you a lil discount if you get more than one service. :) Just my little way to help.
 

If you would like to see EXAMPLES of my work, please visit my FB page & check out my photo albums for what I have designed. I will be adding more finished designs to the albums there over the course of the next couple of weeks, so I hope you will check it out & let me know what you think!

Hope to work with you soon! Have a great night! xoxo

REAL PARTY :: 'KISS my 30's Goodbye' rocker PARTY!

Hey Dude, it’s Melissa, comin’ atcha from a ROCK PARTY! The party I am sharing with you today is over the top, so original and ROCKIN!   There is nothing else out there to compare – no warm up band, no 2^nd act…just pure rock adrenalin. 

The back (stage) story…..my gal pal Kimberly wanted to throw a classic rock themed party for her husband, Mark, for his 40^th birthday and I was honored that she enlisted my help!    You see, her hubby is a United States Marine and is away from his family a lot – so this party had to be “off the hook”! (do you still say that? Lol)  Kimberly had awesome ideas already when we met and even had her rough theme picked out! It all started off with a few brainstorming sessions – sharing our ideas through email with Laura.   We knew what we wanted but were not sure how Laura would interrupt our “vision”.  I am here to tell all you groupies, that Laura surpassed anything we imagined!  Without further a due . . .

“KISS My 30’s Good-Bye”

 Concert Ticket for the invite . . .

This backdrop is amazing as they made it to match the collection PERFECTLY!

Love this mirror - hilarious, written with lipstick . . .     rocker chicks-Kimberly & Melissa.

Get your Drink On with some Sangria . . .

This is Mark a.k.a 'the party boy' in true rocker fashion . . .his last name is Starski

Seriously LOVING all the special details - this party so ROCKS!

Thanks so much Melissa for allowing me to design this party collection for you! I am a rocker chick at heart so this was right up my alley! 

This collection is perfect for a KISS Halloween party or any birthday party.

Want to ROCK OUT with a party like this? Be sure to get the KISS inspired INVITE and also the entire matching KISS inspired Party Collection!

Hope you enjoyed this party! ROCK ON party people, ROCK ON!

{SPONSOR GIVEAWAY} Skylar Raine ~ accessories

I will be hosting regular GIVEAWAYS for my SPONSORS. Today I am excited to be sharing the first one. It's the accessory shop Skylar Raine - which carries accessories for you & your home! As you all may know (if you have been paying attention to my blog posts), that is MY second company that I started last year that allows me to be "crafty" and I am really enjoying the custom orders & clients.

The best place to see all the "goods" from the shop is on the Facebook page as that is where the designs hit first, then they get listed on Etsy. Everything listed is usually "ready to ship" & simple to order. It's super easy. Visit the page, see something you gotta have? . . . then just comment SOLD under the photo & it's yours!

The shop contains "accessories for YOU & your home" & you can request a CUSTOM order & choose the colors/ patterns yourself! Skylar Raine carries everything from bobby pins, clips, pins, adjustable elastic headbands that can be worn as a clip &/ or a headband to pregnancy/ wedding sashes to jewelry too like rings & bracelets!

The new HOME line just debuted recently & the first TWO items to launch were photo frames & mirrors! (different HOME items will debut in the fall)

All of the  frames are hand painted, sealed & embellished. Right now the shop carries 4x6 and 5x7 frames ready to ship!

Mirrors are 10x10, with a 3.75 mirror in center & made from wood. They're hand painted & sealed. Comes with the hardware to hang or simply place in plate holder on a table. There are a few ready to ship.



And the BEST part? Do you know that the shop takes CUSTOM orders? 
Perfect for when you are needing a matching headband or clip for a particular outfit for you or your kid!

Also great for the photographers out there! Use the items for photo props.

Need an item to match a collection that you just designed for a party? Just ask!
