Happy Halloween To The Veal Kids

Sometimes with all the hustle and bustle of being a mom, a full time employee, a full time student, a wife, and a business entrepreneur .... the Veal kids get the short end of the stick when they need custom designs from Elle Designs. HOWEVER, this week Elle (a.k.a.) mommy pulled off not only eyeball cupcakes, but also candybar invites. Check us out! 

Happy Halloween to Frank and Carley!

~ xoxo Mommy (Elle)

VIP Customer Spotlight on Jodelle

Elle Designs would like to spotlight and personally thank Jodelle for recently using our "Real Party Girl" services.  Jodelle's daughter turned 12 and celebrated her special day with a movie party.  After being provided with a few drafts, Jodelle was able to pick her favorite and from there a new Elle design was created. 



Happy Birthday Maddy!

Elle Designs is grateful to have been able to work with Jodelle not only on her daugther's birthday invites, but also we've customized some stationery for her as well.  This is what Jodelle had to say about her Elle experience, "I love your fun and creative designs and think the service is superb! 

Thank you so much!!"

Thanks again Jodelle and we look forward to working with you on your next project ~

Going BATTY for Halloween!

ELLE DESIGNS HAS A FEW PARTY IDEAS (and of course a few great INVITE DESIGNS) TO GET YOUR HALLOWEEN CELEBRATIONS GOING ....

Spooktacular Event
Halloween falls on a Sunday this year, which makes it the perfect year to  throw a Saturday Halloween bash! Gather all the kids in the neighborhood or just a few friends for candy apples and games. We have spooky and adorable designs to suit your style, and we’ve created Personalized StationeryStamps for an extra spooky delivery.

A treat before tricking
Invite the neighborhood kids over for some pre-trick-or-treating fun by throwing a tailgating party. Have fall-themed activities ready like bobbing  for apples and make sure the cameras are ready to capture the kids in their costumes.

Pumpkin-lovin party
Bring all the ghost and goblins to your house this Halloween by hosting a pumpkin-carving and apple bobbing party.

Hello Halloween
Although the streets are bound to be packed with costumed cuties the evening of October 31st, Halloween isn’t just for kids. Gather your friends together for a fun spook-fest and feast on candy and cocktails.

Waving Bye to Summer

While I can honestly say there weren't many "lazy days of summer" here at Elle Designs, we were happy that summer bought us something that makes our heart go thump thump, our heals go click clack, and our designing wand work overtime ... PARTIES!!

From new babies being born, weddings, big birthday milestones, and even a christening Elle Designs was happy to be a part of so many special occasions over the last few warm months. Take a peak at a few of our summer fun projects, and please don't forget to call us for your next event because at Elle Designs we believe your special occasion deserves a special introduction - even if its not summer time{wink}!

And the award goes to ....handbag queen!

Let's do something a little different today .... As you all know Elle's second passion is HANDBAGS. I don't know what it is that sends me into a total rush over a nice new handbag.  Then again it doesn't have to be a NEW handbag, I'm just a sucker for a nice handbag and will take a used one from my sister-in-laws closet any day of the week (hint hint).

It's really not about the name brand, its all about style, comfort, fit and color for me. I can see pictures of certain handbags and think, "ooh that's a good bag for Tracy or Winona".  Really I should get a QUEEN OF HANDBAG CROWN!

My sister has put me on handbag restriction, she says I need therapy and told me that even though its fall (which hello automatically means new handbag to me), I should recycle one of my "old" ones. Recycle - hmmm when it comes to plastic, paper and glass I can help out with the mission, but that doesn't sound very fun when it comes to my sacred handbag collection.  But my sister normally knows best so I tried it.  It was working .... until I accidentally wondered into Marshalls today. By the way - what I love more than a great handbag (and stationery of course) is a great handbag at a great price.  Unfortunately not all Marshalls, TjMax and other stores are created equal it all depends on the area and the day.  However today I think even the handbag gods were feeling bad for me. I did my normal warm-up look around the shoes - cute!  Then over to the handbags, circled each isle twice like a careful handbag shopper, picked up two bags that I thought had my name on them. Thought about how I'd get them in my closet without setting off any red flags with "The Big Guy", then put them back. Ho hum! Checked out the clothes - nice, cute and all that stuff, and then circled back to the handbags to give them one final hug before I decided to go back to the office.  However, it was then that I saw him, there he was just waiting for me, how had I not seen him before? Then as I go to swoop him up, you know those Marshall shoppers can be hardcore, I see her .... come on ladies you know what sensible her is -- the RED CLEARANCE TICKET .. jackpot! 

Such a great deal that maybe my sister will give me a pass and let me back into therapy until next time!  Check out a picture below of my great new blue find. 

Also for those of you who love handbags just as much .... this blue is very in this season. Coach and Nine West have the same gorgeous blue called "hardware blue" (see below links).  Hope you find your fall handbag soon, and come back and post a picture for me to drool over.

Until next time see you in stationery and handbag land ~ Elle
