Minty Fresh

As you know, last year I made the invitations for Elliot's first birthday party. As much as I would have liked to this year, I simply didn't have time. Next best thing? A card designed by someone else. Enter Minted, a stationary company that invites graphic designers to submit creative invitation and stationary designs. If selected, designs are sold on the site. Not only do I love all of the fresh, fun designs; but I love that it promotes small design shops/designers. I have a few friends and readers who should check it out (hint, hint paper punch press).

Elliot's birthday party is going to take place at a local park. Could this card be any more perfect? You can read more about the designer on her blog, sublime design.

I'm also loving the selection of personalized stationary and thank you notes. Elliot can't write yet, but he could scribble on this. Even Dad could get on the etiquette bus with any one of these manly designs.
