Face value of stamps at Zazzle!

Holy deal, Batman! This one is a no-brainer - Zazzle's current postage sale, expiring tonight at 11:59 Pacific (that's 2:59 for us East Coast folks), takes $8.80 off the cost of custom postage stamps, making their cost at the face value of 44 cents each. That is the best deal I have seen in a LONG while. You can bet I'll be ordering some of these today! Enter promo code JULYPOSTDEAL at checkout.

In fact, I'm so excited about this promotion that I'm going to do a "quickfire" giveaway. For the first THREE people who email me at valerie@customprintablesonline.com with the following info:

• Choice of monogram name from the Custom Printables monogram catalog
• Choice of colors from the Swatch Sheet
• Names, date, initial, etc.

I will create an original Zazzle stamp for you to order by the end of the day! Send me the email, I'll confirm you're a winner, and will send you the link to order by around 8 or 9 PM Eastern.

Good luck!

Jennifer and Doron's monogram

Jennifer was looking for a unique monogram to place on the front cover of the benchers that will be used at her wedding. Benchers are booklets containing the many Jewish blessings, prayers, and songs that are sung at a Jewish wedding. I was excited to use an existing monogram, Vanessa, and tailor it to Jennifer and Doron's wishes. Their new last initial, K, is flanked by the first initial of each of their Hebrew names. The shin, which is the first letter in Jennifer's Hebrew name Shaindl, is in the lower left, and the dalet, for Doron (which means "present, gift, or offering") is in the upper right.

Tim and Christine's Shower

My friend Ria asked for a set of images to use for her friends' Texas/library/music-inspired wedding shower. I created this suite to enhance the party's festive, personalized feeling.

Ami's Wedding Shower Weekend

I was delighted to be invited to design these bridal shower invitations for my friend Ilene, who's throwing her pal Ami a fabulous party weekend here in Durham. When she came to me requesting lilac and mint green, I had just the design in mind. We're printing these on Vistaprint at 6x9 on linen paper. Can't wait to see them in person!
