What a dog! Here's a great anniversary gift for a wonderful couple. Boomer will be printed on card stock as a set of 250 greeting cards.

Here's another gorgeous idea. My wonderful client Casey and her mom Madelyn sent me this image of her graphic "post party". Instead of the poster, they selected archival paper with archival inks. The image was printed with a large white border which her guests signed. Grandmom loved it too so a second print was sent to her. Mazel tov Casey!



Here's what mom had to say: Hi Liz - I thought you would like to see the finished product of Casey's signing board....just fabulous!!!  It is already hanging on her wall. Everyone at the party LOVED it. So thank you so much for your beautiful work!!! Best Wishes, Madelyn

Let's not forget those goodie bags. Once you have your basic party package Liz can even format your art to fit stickers and upload in your shop site. Looks great slapped on those paper goodie bags!

I was featured on a Party Placecard site! (Click link to view) How nice! Here's what they had to say, "You'll be amazed at all the excellent portraits that have been done of Bar/Bat Mitzvah boys and girls on this site. They can be used for Place Cards or Sign-In Boards or t-shirts". Lots of other goodies on this site too. Check it out!

Mock up of Gavriella's invite. Gavriella's actual invites will be placed in a "purple haze" card stock, not the midnight blue as seen here. This is just a sample to showcase how the petal base opens into the invitation. (Below images were taken with my lowly mac camera which gives a mirror image!) Gavriella chose to have our custom rsvp email site, that links directly to her mom's email address, handle guest information.

Here's what mom had to say: Liz, The invitations are amazing, very contemporary and unique. You have to see Gavi’s face when she looks at them.Thanks again for everything Liz, I am sure we will do business again.



The petal invite sample closed.

Oliner Graphics will now print seating cards and table tents! Mini Envelopes are available for seating cards on our "order here" page. They come in a variety of colors and flavors, match your event colors! Come in packs of 25. Check them out here.

Need some Mad Money for your party? Look no further than Oliner Graphics! I just had a great conversation with a client who wants to do a Bond theme for her son's Bar Mitzvah. I'm so excited as it was the same theme I used for my own son's three years ago. Here's a sample of some "party cash" as well as the $1,000 party cash I used for my own son's Bar Mitzvah.
(James Bond doesn't mess with mere $20s. He NEEDS big money!) How fun!

You'll be supplied with a digital file with your cash 3 up (Just like at the mint!) and you can print them off or photo copy them on colored paper. Fun & economical. Tie that theme together!

Here's a great idea! Ask Liz to take your image and create a welcome sign for your guests. They look great welcoming your guests into the party!

Sample Table Tent (5" x 7"): Table tents are printed on our greeting card gloss stocks and can be framed or just placed on the table. To order table tents for your event, just ask liz with your order.




Placecard sample: Tie your theme together. Place cards layouts are sent via an email word document formatted for in an Avery Template and are printed as needed (by you!) Terrific, economical and efficient! Place cards are business card sized.

Looks like I also do pets! Here's some fun, the client has a pet bird and wanted a graphic image to put on cards and gifts for the holidays. Below is the original I based it on.

Here's a great idea. Tie your portrait package theme together. I'll provide square formatted art and have it printed on the cover of your invite. This invitation/announcement features a clean black linen textured wrap that encloses a bright white insert secured together with a silver cord.

Here's an interesting version of what you can do with the eyes in an illustration. The client requested "more sparkle" in her eyes as her entire life people have said she smiled with her eyes. Here's the first version...



...and here's the sparkle version! They really pop. I created the difference by layering a series of the lighter shades within the eyes with a variety of gradients. Further I added additional shading and highlights to the outside of the eyes to draw in the viewer. Its a subtle but very powerful difference that really changes the viewers perception.

Took my kids to my Celebrate Showcase (Bar Mitzvah/Sweet 16) Trade Show yesterday and I'm going to give a couple of plugs to the other vendors that they just loved! Here is my daughter sporting a balloon hat from the Twisted Balloon Company. My booth was next to his at the show and his work is fantastic. My kids walked around with these hats on and gave out his cards all day. (Of course, my kids were also my own walking advertisements sporting shirts from my own site.) He doesn't do centerpieces but if you're looking for them (perhaps with some Oliner Graphic images?) then look no further than Balloon Artistry. I watched him make a life-sized balloon palm tree in about 1/2 hour. It was amazing.



Sorry about the quality of this pic but I wanted to show the airbrushed tattoo. My kids picked these up and loved them from Joan at Everything Plus. Joan doesn't have a website but you can contact her at ibjbus@yahoo.com or 201-768-8942. Gail, the party planner's site had a fabulous character artist who draws quick party sketches right at your party. They were so much fun!



Of course, my kids also came home with tons of great photo frames and greenscreen images from The Main Event and Ace Entertainment. Dance Heads offer absolutely hysterical CDs. We couldn't stop laughing. Todd Yahney is a DJ who sported they "giant inflatable man" I discussed on my last trade show post but he gave out very cool photo magnets that they have plastered all over my fridge.

Here I am at my site, it was another busy, fun day.
