Guests were encouraged to strap on their hiking books and come out for an Adventure Baby Shower. The actual backpack-diaper bag that the baby received was hand drawn and filled with adventure related items, just like a real backpack would contain. The map, flashlight and baby bottle canteen all had important shower details printed on them. They then were cut on our handy-dandy Silver Bullet cutter. The backpacks were stuffed and the invitations mailed out. Thus the adventure began!

Run for the Roses! Wait… we mean, run for the altar! What fun it was to create these Kentucky Derby bridal shower invitations for the big weekend in May. Don’t they make you want to join the fun?

Wow! What an amazing night SMH had videotaping Dancing with the Celebrities at the Palace Theatre in Greensburg, PA. Once again; our claim is for graphic design and illustration, not videography. When the need arises, however, we are more than delighted to oblige. It was a fun and exciting evening. ALL of the dancers did a fantastic job. Benefits from the event were directed to the Animals Friends of Westmoraland, a non-profit animal shelter in Youngwood, PA. Please find our productions on our YouTube channel by clicking here.

Can you hear them sing? These two little chickadees were the perfect subject for a fine art painting. Using acrylics on canvas, the painting was completed in a day.

With wedding season just around the corner, the studio was honored to create these super special Save the Date announcements. Using lavender, felt envelopes and a black and white photo; these cards were a pleasure to create. They were then sealed with a deeper, purple return address label cut in an oval shape to match the oval behind the names and date. Of course it helped that violets and blue bells were in bloom at the time. It made the project “plum” sweet.

As graphic designers and fine artists, the studio does not make its claim to videography. When the need arises, however, one must do what one must do. In this case it gave us great joy and satisfaction to be apart of the 2017 Spring Showcase at TDI Ballroom Dance Studio. In-between dancing the night away, we were able to earn our keep by recording for all to enjoy. Please find these recordings on TDI’s YouTube channel simply by clicking here.
