21st Birthday Party Invitations

How could I refuse the plea of one of my nieces when she requested an invitation for her 21st birthday? "Nothing too fancy, I'll leave the design up to you" she said.  Knowing that she loved pastel shades I jumped straight in and after not too many client alterations these were the final three I presented her with.  I can't wait to see which one she chooses.  
Which one do you prefer?



Three Options .... Which one do you prefer? 


Now to wait for my invitation to arrive in the post so I can photograph the printed version....

Visit my site at www.papiermousedesigns.com to view my full range of services. If you would like me to design a unique party invitation for you, please email me at gracekeogh@papiermousedesigns.com and I will get back to you.

Business Cards Delivered

My first batch of client business cards arrived in the post today. I was so keen to open them and make sure that they looked just as good in real life as they did on my screen!  And they did, my client (Jenny from Practical Bookkeeping Solutions) loved her new cards and I am so pleased to have another happy customer. 

I had a great time working with Jenny to design her logo, website and business card. Once the cards were designed I uploaded them to Vistaprint  and organised hassle free printing at a very reasonable price. 

If you would like me to design some unique business cards for you, please send me a message and we can chat about your requirements.  Remember... I just love to create stuff :)

If it makes my life simpler.... I like it!

OK, well today I have stumbled across a fantastic little tool called the Wufoo Form Creator and like all good freebies - it was just begging me to give it a try. 

After learning all about coding forms in HTML5 it seems only fair that I have stumbled across this tool after my web assessment items are completed!

The great thing with the Wufoo forms are that you can personalise them so easily! Not only can you select the type of data fields you want (single line, text area, radio buttons, drop down options, etc, etc) but you can also incorporate css to 'fancy' the form up a bit.

From what I can see so far once you register on the Wufoo site, you are able to create 3 free forms. I haven't gone any further yet in regard to pricing... I am having too much fun playing with my form. 


The data and the admin interface remains on the Wufoo servers and you login in to Wufoo to manage everything, but the form looks like you're hosting it on your own site. Once you create your form you can link to it from your site or embed the form - as I have done below. Another option is to download the HTML file for the whole form and upload it with your site - allowing you to handle the server side stuff yourself.


So go ahead and use the form below for me and let me see how it works.  Check back here later in the week for my follow up opinion. 

So here we go:

Shutterstock Infographic

Shutterstock's Global Design Trends Infographic 2013

I love this great infographic from Shutterstock.... Some great information here about how Graphic and Visual trends have altered over the past few years. Infographics are certainly the 'buzz' at the moment - and I think they will be around for a long time to come.

What do you think?

Digital Darling

Just Adorable
Here we are, 12 weeks after our darling Ellie was born and already she has such a personality!  I can see that this little lady is going to be such a blessing to her parents and our family in general.  She has certainly re-ignited my creativity - I haven't scrapped for ages, now I have a reason to start again.  This layout uses word art from Word Art World, papers and elements from Chelle’sCreations and the gorgeous little bugs are from   Ziggle-Designs-by-Kami.


Thanks for looking,

Creative Inspiration

What better way to get back into my passion for digi-scrapping than to create a layout of my gorgeous grand daughter. Studying my Diploma in Graphic Designer has left me very little time to create for fun lately, don't get me wrong I am enjoying myself studying, I love the challenge of learning new things, and boy have I learnt heaps over the past year! But sometimes I need to just 'make stuff' for the hell of it.
One of those times was this morning.  Whilst blog hopping I cam across the fantastic Krista Sahlin and her amazing Sahlin Studio site. Krista's designs just called to me, and I had to immediatley download some of her fantastic product and start creating.

Using her wonderful 'I'll Love you Forever" kit I created this layout of Miss Ellie....
