New Photobook is Done!

Simply stated, I love Shutterfly. I love the options with their photobooks – the page layouts, designs and just the overall ease of it. Plus the books are so well done, it’s great for any professional to show off their work.

Awhile back I had created some photobooks to show clients and bring to shows and I’ve wanted to create a new one since adding new services & products. Well thanks to a huge sale they had I finally got around to doing it! You can view the photobook by clicking here. Let me know what you think about it!

What’s New at So Chic?!

What’s new…hmmm that’s a loaded question. It’s probably easier to tell you what’s NOT new! When I first logged onto my blog this morning I realized I needed to do a little housekeeping, it was a bit dusty! I have been doing a LOT of brainstorming over the last 5 months about my business, where I’d like it to go, where my true passion lies…the list could go on. I LOVE being creative, absolutely love it in all it’s forms. If you were to come over and see my studio you’d see what I mean. Over the last 5 months I have dusted off (apparently doing a lot of that!) my sewing machine and my embroidery machine. I have more cardstock, stamp sets, embossing powder, embellishments, ribbon and fabric than a lot of people. I’ve also discovered the fun of applique (after a few tries) and I’m working on a certificate in graphic design which I’m hoping to have complete by the end of this year. There isn’t just one creative outlet that I enjoy, I enjoy many, I feel like I’m a power strip I have so many outlets!

Ok, so where am I going with this? Since I started this business I’ve always offered some custom designs, although I’ve discovered a lot of people that didn’t know this, but I’ve decided to expand on those designs quite a bit. For awhile now I’ve wanted to get more products in my etsy store and it’s finally happening. Last night I listed several ring pillows and bridal bags and I’ll be adding other items in the coming weeks. Many of the items I posted (the red prints and the cream/black damask) were created with fabric that I purchased from Venezie Fabrics. I’m a visual person, I like to see things in person and now that Karen opened up a storefront close by I stop in often to check out what fabrics she has (which is a lot by the way!). And since I’m sewing quite a bit my new super cute pear shaped pin cushion is quite handy!

I have a lot of ideas and projects in the works and my ultimate goal is to create a variety of items for all types of events. Here are a few things on that list (some of which I’ve always offered): Banners & signs, labels & tags for favors, chair backs, candy buffets etc, monograms & logos, invitations & other stationery items, runners, ring pillows & bridal bags. All of the craft supplies I mentioned above? Those will all be put to good use!

If you have something you’d like for your next event, give me a shout! I’d love to create something just for you. So stay tuned, there’s lots of good things coming to So Chic!

Here are pictures of a few of the pillows I listed on etsy last night, visit my store to see all of them.

Classy Damask

I absolutely LOVE damask prints! I think it’s just so elegant and adds such a classy touch to basically anything and everything. That being said, imagine how giddy I became when I came across this blog post by Always Fabulous Events. It’s fabulous! My favorite two photos were the first one with the fuschia and the last one with the lime green, absolutely fabulous! If you’re a fan of damask, this is a must read blog post!

Thank you Always Fabulous Events for sharing this wonderful post!
