Stencil Love

January 5, 2011 cynthia Leave a Comment

The holidays were quite hectic, hence my lack of posting! However, there was still much joy to be found in the simple things; a warm fire, a good meal, and a stencil machine!

I just finished creating this project for Cafe Rouge Meat Market (and Restaurant). It couldn't have been a more perfect project for this time of year... a Meat Roast-Timer!

Carmel Valley Wedding

September 2, 2010 cynthia Leave a Comment

The weather is so dreamy today... it seemed appropriate to post about this wedding invitation. The wedding took place on a beautiful ranch in Carmel Valley... almost one year ago to the day.
