Baltimore Books

I took a day trip to the Baltimore Book Festival on Sunday and passed by this really cool window display. It wasn't part of the book festival itself, but it was a nice surprise. I love all the unexpected things I find when I visit Baltimore. |DBK

Scary Spice

I can't believe we're heading into Halloween season already! I spotted these fun Halloween papers on paper crave. Usually, anything Halloween themed tends to be garish and tacky, but making memories has created the Spook Alley Collection—talk about cute and chic. I love the colors and slightly retro vibe. Check out more Halloween papers at makingmemories.com. [via paper crave] |DBK

On the one hand, I'm super-happy to be recognized and included in this list, but that begs the question...why aren't people reading my blog!?? Well. Maybe now they will.

Holiday Cheer

This Little Light Invitation

Light Bright Invitation

I'm really excited to find out that two of my design submissions were chosen as Judge's Pick and Editor's Pick for minted.com's design challenge. It was my first time submitting to the challenge, so I'm thrilled to have been recognized. The challenge was to design an invitation for a holiday party, so I went with designs that felt festive and playful, and not too "holiday season."
