Stay-cation and Inspiration

July 8, 2010

This week I am on stay-cation from Moxie Pear. I usually take a week during the Summer when The Baconator is on vacation but this year we stayed at home and I got to catch up on some personal projects I haven’t had time for. It has been extremely productive and nice that I can take a few minutes and go jump in the pool with the family. We did go to Callaway Gardens for two days and it was beautiful (loads of photos to download, edit and post). We sweated like crazy but it was still a good time. Here is little peek at some of what I was working on…

I get inspiration from all over the place but when it came to deciding on my new web/blog design I was a bit stuck. I find it so hard to design for myself sometimes. I think a lot of designers have the same problem. I knew what sort of style I wanted to convey but trying to get there was so hard. Yes, I realize that this may have something to do with the fact that I change my look every few months (and I may be running out of ideas of my own) but I love change so I am not trying to deny it anymore. I am embracing my design ADD.

So anyway, back to design and inspiration. Sometimes it helps to step out of the box and try something a little different and this time I decided to go with a photo collage that I found absolutely inspirational. What is the photo of? Oh a wedding theme of course! Yep, if you ever get stuck for color inspiration just Google wedding or party themes and you have tons of inspiration right at your fingertips. Here is the photo that I was so inspired by.

Don’t you just love those colors together? I wouldn’t have chosen teal and tangerine at first glance but when I saw this I knew that was it (at least for a little while..hehehe). So you’ve seen the blog, what do you think? I still have a few kinks to work out with the website but here is a little sampling of the home page. I hope to have it all ready to launch on Monday when I am officially back to work.

I am also working on some cool marketing materials that I am excited to share with everyone. Sorry for the absence lately but I promise to be present and posting from now on.
