Recent Design Project: Creative Wedding Website and Invitation for a Royal Engagement
I have been working on a wedding website for a friend from college and am realizing how much I love illustrating people’s stories. I’m honored to help them share this special occasion celebrating their relationship with their family and friends.
When the soon-to-be groom came to me with this project, based on his personality I knew the project would have to be extremely unique and not like the average wedding website. He’s a very detail-oriented person but is also very creative and elaborate so this project ended up being very fun to work on. The wedding’s color scheme is navy blue, gold and white and their theme related to royalty and highlighting the fact that the wedding date is close to Thanksgiving and their native countries in the Caribbean. I used a wedding invitation from my store as inspiration, using Roman columns framing the website and giving it the atmosphere of being outside of a palace.
Below is a sneak peek of the project’s “Events” and “Registry” pages so far, as you can see it is a little different from the traditional wedding website:

P.S. I was trying to figure out why this post had so many hits then realized it had royal and wedding in the title. Un-intended but congratulations Prince William and Kate ;).

Inspiration: Have Your Way from Britt Nicole
Above: Britt Nicole at the Revolve Tour in Dallas, TX. Check out more pics and my coverage from Revolve on my youth website SOAR.
I first heard the song below “Have Your Way” by Britt Nicole live at the Revolve Tour in Dallas this year, and just had to get her album “The Lost Get Found” afterwards. The lyrics brought tears to my eyes and really speak to the heart. I’m sure we’ve all had those experiences where we feel lost, burdened and alone, and where we can turn nowhere except into the arms of God to bring us through. I love how Britt has poured her heart to create music that is so personal, relatable and real!
After volunteering at the Revolve Tour event I got to meet Britt briefly and was inspired by her ministry and how she took the time to encourage each girl who was in her signing line. Before she had to leave for the airport she took the time to take a picture with me and gave me some words of encouragement. Thank you Britt for letting His light shine through you!
If you haven’t already gotten the album “The Lost Get Found”, definitely check it out! Some other favorites of mine are the songs “Walk On Water,” which has really encouraged me to start following the dreams in my heart that I have felt fearful and unqualified for. “Lost Get Found” and “Headphones,” which I’ve posted the creative video for on my website for youth, SOAR (click here), are two of my other favorites. I also loved this interview that I posted on my other site Dream in Soul about how Britt began in her ministry, the video is an inspiration to anyone following their God-given dreams, check it out.
Britt Nicole – Have Your Way lyrics
Feels like I’ve been here forever,
Why can’t you just intervene?
Do you see the tears keep falling?
And i’m falling apart at the seams.
But you never said the road would be easy,
But you said that you would never leave.
And you never promised that this life wasn’t hard,
But you promised you’d take care of me.
So I’ll stop searching for the answers,
I’ll stop praying for an escape,
And I’ll trust you, God, with where I am,
And believe that you will have your way.
Just have your way.
Just have your way.
When my friends and my family have left me,
And I feel so ashamed and so cold.
Remind me that you take broken things
And turn them into beautiful.

Where Am I Called? – Post Grad Ponderings
It’s a question many of us ask at one point in our lives: What is my calling? Where does God want to use me right now; in ministry, in a certain career? For me the question was most urgent after I graduated from college (which I wrote about earlier on Dream in Soul). It was the typical post graduation angst – “uh oh – I’ve got be an adult and face the ‘real world’? What do I do now?”

Music Pick: Hold Me Video & EP from Jamie Grace Harper
I’ve got the song “Hold Me” from Jamie Grace stuck in my head – it’s so upbeat, unique and catchy. For the past couple of weeks I’ve played it on repeat for the 1st and second grade girls who I teach at church, to get them focused on their art projects (and to stop talking about Justin Bieber:) and they love listening to it too as they sing along and color. Glad they appreciate great music:)…
