I love CEVD

Inspired, original & witty.  Just a few words to describe cevd {custom invitation studio}
With a BFA from Savannah College of Art & Design & a few years working in the couture wedding industry, Christine headed out on her own with the mission of making custom paper products more personal.  Success!

Sweet Christine Van Duyn is my go to source for the prettiest & most personal custom papers.  She is so very talented & easy to work-with I hope you enjoy her work as much as I do!

Check out her blog pretty.pretty.paper

I wish her all the success in the world...i just hope she doesn't get to busy for my jobs!

The Selby & Cindy Gallop

One of my most favorite web sites & one of the most inspiring interiors I've seen.  Every look is a plethora of wit, unique ideas, & logos (in cheeky/perfect/get it? kind of way)!

If you haven't checked out The Selby-you must.  ALSO (yay for them) check out the story in the NYTimes T Magazine

Have you seen the book The Selby Is in Your Place?  

Love the creatives.
