Today I ran across this color chart on Colour Lovers blog and had to share!
Check out some past blogs about color:

dressing in style
Today on Sunny Slide Up I write about my love for Neon and Pearl Snaps!
The picture above is one I took at Cadillac Ranch while on a cross country trip.
You can read more about that trip here.
a new photographer just came to town
A while back I did a post on photography and a few of the photographer that I completely admire.
One of the photographers is Ivan McCorkle with Ivan Conor Photography.
You can read here about how we came to the design for Ivan’s logo by working with palate choices.
Ivan recently moved to a new neighborhood south of Charlotte, NC – Baxter Village and was looking to advertise in the community newsletter. I am very excited with how it turned out a look forward to the success of his new studio and photography business!

Recently I have had the opportunity to work with an amazing artist, Robert Langford, on a design for his open house. He recently moved his studio to Morrison Southpark, in Charlotte, NC and is excited to share his space with everyone.
I kept the design very simple in order to highlight his artwork.
Below is a 2-sided postcard that will be mailed as well as distributed throughout the property.
And here are some of my favorite paintings from Robert – please go and check out the other artwork of this amazing artist!

a birthday of firsts
Today is my birthday and this year there are a lot of firsts happening for me.
This is the first year in 34 years that I did not get a birthday card from my Granny. I know it may sound funny, but I was going through a weird deal of being excited to get a card from my Papaw, but dreading opening it and not seeing her name. This morning, like clockwork, the card came from “Lawrence” 
…. It was a sweet card with a sweet note and I love it, but I will admit… that was a hard one.
Secondly, this year I have a new person to share my birthday with. I woke up to him singing Happy Birthday to me. He has been such a special addition to my life and I am so happy to have him be a part of my day! The pic below is from our first flight together – i know, i know – getting cheesy!
Finally – this isn’t new, but tonight is dinner with my parents We are trying a new restaurant (so I guess that is a first). I love our tradition, will miss my sister, but can’t wait to spend this time with my family.
As I turn 34 – DANG… 34… I realize that age is just a number. I am exactly where I am supposed to be at this point in my life and couldn’t be happier!
Be sure to check out my post about what I want for my birthday on Sunny Slide Up today!
