What's Happening Wednesday - Parties & Note Pads

Happy Wednesday! I'm so glad the sun is brightly shining after some dreary, rainy days! I've been a busy designer these past few weeks, so I'm excited to share a little snapshot of my favorites with you! Below are a few custom party designs I've recently done... I'm loving these creative themes that my customers come up with!

I'm also very busy working on my merchandise for both Nashville's Christmas Village and Birmingham's The Market! They are just a little over a month away! One of my new products is this set of notepads to help you plan your meals and grocery shopping for the week. They will be packaged together with 50 sheets per notepad, and they will be available in my Etsy shop very soon! I'm really excited about using these myself... I need all the menu planning help I can get!

What's Happening Wednesday - Birthdays and Calendars

It's Wednesday! Time to fill you in on all the good things happening here at Beth Hart Designs!

I just love working on children's birthday parties! The cute and creative themes that my customers come up with never cease to amaze me! I offer custom children's party designs starting at $25, and these designs can be carried throughout all of the great products I offer... invitations, thank you notes, banners, welcome signs, placemats, favor tags, food place cards, cupcake toppers... the list goes on! Here are a few of the designs I've been working on this week:

The slightly cooler weather has me thinking about the end of the year... Fall and Christmas products are coming soon! I finished up the new 2013 Desk Calendar design this morning, and I'm so excited to share it with you! These calendars are $15 each which includes 12 month-at-a-glance cards measuring 5.25"x5.25" and a clear stand for display. They make the perfect desk accessory! Be sure to order one for you and a friend!

What's Happening Wednesday - A 30th Birthday Par-Tee!

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to take a little time to fill you in on what's been happening around here at Beth Hart Designs. My husband turned 30 yesterday, so I threw him a surprise birthday party last Friday night. We loved having our friends with us to celebrate, and I really enjoyed putting my design skills to use with a "golf par-tee" theme!

While doing some research on the internet one day, I came across a contest titled "Made in the South Awards" hosted by one of my favorite magazines, Garden & Gun. I thought to myself "Oh what the heck, I'll give it a shot!" So I called up my talented friend Molly of SimplyMPhotography to help me by taking some professional photos of the party products I'd made for my husband's birthday. She blew me away with the images she captured, and I was beyond thrilled to submit them for the contest! Whether or not I receive an award from Garden & Gun remains to be seen, but I'm so proud of the beautiful photos that Molly was able to give me! Here are a few of my favorites...

And now for the not so professional photos that I took at the party on Friday night... (I sure am glad I decided to go with paper design rather than take the photography route!)

What's Happening - Sweet Little Birthdays!

Happy Wednesday! I'm so excited to begin a new series of blog posts titled "What's Happening Wednesday!" It seems I need structure in the blogging world, so in addition to "Monday Motivation," I'm promising to post each Wednesday about the projects I have the pleasure of working on that week. This week (and all summer long) is full of children's birthday parties! I'm just loving all the creativity I see in the planning of little ones' birthday parties these days. The themes are all adorable, and I'm crazy about the matching "bells & whistles" that parents are using throughout the event!

Below, I've featured a few of the designs I've been working on this week. (The names, photos, and details have been changed to "protect the innocent!") Enjoy!
