Look what Abby Liga (Liga Photography) did!

Really quick.. I just want to give props to my good friend Abby Liga for giving my husband and I a fun-filled portrait session.. Abby at Liga Photography recently shot portraits of my husband and I.. Since we eloped we really have never had any amazing images taken of the two of us. That and we both really feel uncomfortable in front of a camera. So I know Abby-- it was painful and I thank you, because if this sneak peek is any indication you did the impossible! I don't think my husband has ever been photographed without his signature "Morelli Cheesy Grin!" Congrats, you did it! We look great!! Check them out.. And be sure to check out Liga Photography if you ever need amazing imagery of you or your family!!

Go Green for the Holidays!!

So this is an event that I am getting to participate in for the 2nd year in a row. It was great fun last year and my products were well received! My Paper Couture Stationery Line sells in the Cottage Industry Co-op located on Edgewater Drive in College Park! It is an interesting concept that gives back to the community! There are probably around 30 local designers now. And each designer pays a small amount of rent and works a 4 hour shift a week. In return they get a small area to display and sell there unique product.. There is everything there from paper products, to pottery, to custom jewerly, to bath and body stuff.. I have met many great designers there and made some great friends..

In and effort to get the word out I'm going to start picking a designer a month and blog a bit about them.. This time I'm choosing One Lucky Baby! Erin Vertolli is the designer and creator of these unique and stylish Baby Items... Erin and I met a year ago when we both started participating in the Cottage Industry Co-op. Not only did Erin and I go to the same college (in Illinois), a crazy fact we found out months after participating in the co-op together, she is great and her son Vegas is my bud! I love her stuff so much I've had her make baby blankets for my girlfriends who are expecting, artist smocks for my twin nephews and I've even bribed her to make some of the little girl cooking aprons in my size..

Check out Erin's Stuff and Don't forget to Go Green for the Holidays.. This thursday!!

A Good Cause for Celebration!

So this is long overdue! I have had the pleasure to design and create the invitations and sponsor packets for The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida charity event. CCH Marketing is planning and coordinating the event, which will include a Cocktail reception, Fashion Show and Boutique Shopping. The event is November 21st and I am pleased to be a part of it. Not only did The 2u Collection
design and create the collateral for the event, we will also have a boutique at the event where guests can purchase pieces from our exclusive Paper Couture Imaginative Stationery. I am excited to to participate in this event with several of my fellow women business owners in the Orlando area: (who I am proud to call my friends) Liga Photography, Lavish Boutique, Cleanse Bath & Body Products, and CCH Marketing.

And One more thing! Special Thanks to Sharyn Regan for donating her writing services to all the collateral we created for this event!

Liga Life Mini Sessions!

If you are a frequent visitor of my blog you know that we LOVE LOVE LOVE Liga Photography,
not only does Abby trust us to design all of her branding, collateral and such.. she is always coming up with innovative, unique ways to incorporate striking imagery into the everyday memorable moments of life! Her latest idea is Mini-Sessions! Quick 30 minutes sessions of your kids or family playing, and enjoying life. What a great idea, we all know how hard it is to get kids to sit for more than a few minutes. This way your kids get to do what they do best, and you can have it captured forever! She has one more mini-session coming up at the end of this week.. Book yours today!

NEW OFFICE!!

2u is growing! So glad to get to breathe!! I am excited to announce that we finally are in a space that we can breathe.. This past weekend we moved into a new space. Room to work, room to play!! Still a little rough around the edges, but all in time it will come together and when it does I will post more final pics.. But you can see the before with carpet and white walls to the finished painted with wood floors..

A special thanks to my husband, Ron Morelli who worked tirelessly with me to paint install the floors, move all the furniture and equipment.. It was an exhausting weekend, but we had fun and the office looks beautiful.

One more thanks to my good friend Yvette Wilde who gave up her Saturday to help us tape and Paint!!

Thanks to both and stay tuned as we fine tune and add the finishing touches!! Still waiting for our Chandelier to come in and some images for the walls..

E-events New Brand

My good friend Lisa at E-Events came to me and asked me give her look a punch in the arm.. She felt it was time to change it up a bit, and this is why we love Lisa she is always leading the trends and on the cutting edge of innovative, creative ideas!

We started by reworking her colors and logo a bit, than developed the above look, which we will carry through many pieces of collateral. Above are the outside and Inside signs for her office in Winter Park!

I am really excited to work on the projects we have up our sleeve.. Keep watching us to see what great things we develop for her already spectacular company!!

UPDATE: 03/31/09 We are working feverishly on this new brand, postcards, notecards, etc. But to tie you over here is the new Business Card and signage created for both E-events and Liga Photography!!

Central Florida Bride

Seeing our name in print!! So exciting.. The 2u Collection is featured in the current issue of Central Florida Bride Magazine. Shannon Cooper, personal friend and Publicist Extraordinar, wrote an article on the current trend of Custom Designed Invitations. She captured exactly what we do here at 2u, and what it means to customize your wedding details. Sometimes brides make invitations and wedding accompaniments the last thought. This article shares the importance of the Wedding Brand, and thinking the wedding brand through from the early stages of planning. It not only sets the tone, giving guests a preview into the event ahead, but adds the finishing details to every aspect of the event, from Programs for the church to Escort Cards. Customizing your wedding should even go as far as the last impression you leave with your guests, which is the Thank You card.. Thanks Shannon for writing such a glowing article, and speaking so positively about 2u!

Just Marry DVD

This is exciting, and I'm glad to be a part of it!

Susan Southerland and Michele Butler of Just Marry! and I have been working together for a while now. These ladies are not only great wedding planners, but some of the coolest ladies in the industry. They came to me early this year and asked me to help re-vamp the Just Marry! look. Of course I was excited, because although I LOVE LOVE doing invitations, sometimes Advertising collateral is a nice change, and I think it keeps my creative work fresh!

For the last several months, I've been working closely with Susan to design the covers for her latest DVD. 77 Secrets for Greening the Wedding Industry. This DVD gives wedding professionals secrets and insight on guiding their clients to make earth-friendly choices for their event. From Wedding Rings, to Centerpieces — there are all kinds of things you can do to "Green" your event!

You can find and purchase this DVD on Amazon. Check it out. It won't disappoint!

Ines Del Mar Weddings Magazine

So Another Long over-due Post, Like i said yesterday, I'm going to blog like a crazy person to get caught up over the summer's exciting happenings!

Abby Liga gets props for this, because without her singing my praise this probably never would have happened! So thanks to Abby for introducing me to Kelly Sofia Covert of Ines Del Mar Weddings. After seeing some of the invitations that have come from 2u, She asked me to design the invitations and menus for a December wedding on the horizon. The wedding from what I can tell so far is going to be Totally Sheik!! Black, Silver and Ostrich feathers.. Need I say more!

Some of this stuff is still in the works, but here is a sneak peak of the concepts!! Of course props to Liga Photography for the beautiful photography..

If I haven't said it before Abby rocks!! She Photographs all of my Invitations and makes them look Fabulous!! So if I haven't mentioned that before...

Most Talented Colleagues!

Working in this industry I have the opportunity to work with some of the most talented people! From time to time I like to share with all of you some of my favorite talented colleagues.

This week I'm want to share with you all Abby Liga of Liga Photography. Not only am I glad to call her my friend she is one of the most talented photographers I know! Her work is always out of the box, unique and breathtaking. Any bride would be lucky to have Abby document her day! Check out her website and you will see what I mean.

In addition to working on mutual weddings with Abby, she has trusted me to develop her brand and Marketing collateral! All the pieces she puts out there to brides, I've been honored to create for her!
The images above are just a few pieces 2u created for her! And there is much more to come! So stayed tuned to see the Presentation Kit we have labored over all Summer! It's at the printer now, and will soon hit the streets!

Collini Graduation was a huge Success!!

So This is long overdue-- one of my favorite clients and favorite projects of the summer was the Collini Graduation Project. Susan trusts my creative mind and let's me go.. even when the ideas are a little out there. Her son Joe Collini graduated High School this year, and they were going to celebrate with a Poolside Extravaganza.. Being Pennsylvania makes it a bit hard to sell the whole, Summer Fun at the Beach idea, but we wanted to give it a try anyway!

These invitations were a large project, from the wood-grained paper, to the Handmade Surfboards embellishments-- made by the creative John Beck- to the personalized Thank You's. Each part of the project was personal, fun and creative! The guests loved them, and Susan got all kinds of calls of excitement the day they arrived in guests' mail boxes!

A little side note- John Beck was amazing. I found him on Etsy, and described what my mind had conjured up! He did not disappoint. He created what I described, and not only was it reminiscent of the 50s surf culture, it was lightweight enough to compliment the paper! Thanks John..

A couple more shout outs! Heather Campbell, Intern here at 2u-- was also invaluable! Without her help this project just wouldn't have happened. And her production work is so tight.. Sometimes she shows me up.. :)

And of course Susan Collini, Thank you for trusting us at The 2u Collection help create the look and feel of Joe's send of into the real world!
