Happy weekend..

Just a little something special to share and get the weekend off on a good foot.. I found this footage whilst perusing a handful of my favourite blogs. This one is a save the date invitation from the talented Kishi-Grover. I love the cute tune by Bright Eyes, hope you do too. Enjoy.

Save the date! 31 july 2010 from Kishi-Grover on Vimeo.

A special moment to share

I work for a children’s charity called the KIDS Foundation.




I just returned this week from our annual Burn Survivors' Camp in Noosa. At these camps KIDS hosts over 160 participants.

I am so lucky to be able to work in a job where you can put in and be rewarded with special moments and memories that last a lifetime.




If you have a couple of minutes, please feel free to visit the KIDS Foundation website and view the other great things we do.

Mock Designs is moving on up...!

It's raining babies...

My gorgeous friends Isaac and Gen are having a baby! I was so excited when asked to do up some invites to celebrate this special news...

After a couple of design options, this is the final baby shower invite...

Congratulations guys.. hope you like them. x

I've been a bit design lazy...

In these horrible winter months holidaying has really taken priority.
While design has been set on the back burner, I have recently found myself lounging on the beaches of Noosa and other parts of the sunshine coast with some of my beautiful family.



While I was up that way I got to meet the 2 week old Ollie!..


He is one cool little man and the apple of a loving family's eye.


I get to visit him again in 3 weeks time and I am already counting down the days..



On a design note, keep your eye out the new pizzeria opening in Ballarat shortly, it's called The Forge Pizzeria.

I have been lucky enough to work with Chris on a the shop layout and the collateral. Actually I'm working on the menu design as we speak and I can tell you, your going to love what they have installed.

When in Fiji...

It's been a while since my last post, seems as though I have been in Fiji enjoying the 29'c days instead of the cold Victorian weather of 4-6'c. Here are some happy snaps of my splendid trip away with my philby.. BULA!

3.00pm cocktail o'clock...




Roadie..




Old airport...

I purchased a little Ukulele for my sister in Fiji, it seems she has some tight competition..

use it however you like...

This is a little felt pencil case, mini purse, clutch or whatever you want it to be really..
I have made them from both a light and dark grey marl with different wooden buttons to finish it off..

If your anything like my sister, who has used a pencil case as her wallet for the past 10 years, you might also like one of these to add to your collection.

Nearly as good as girl scouts...

Check out these cool scout books... Made from 100% recycled paper and printed with soy based inks.


I simply love them!

Oh that old thing....

Here are a couple of cards I have recently been playing around with...They are on recycled paper card and are complimented with hand stitched envelopes. I have a large range of materials and cards that can go with any occasion.

I have some exciting news to go with these little creations - you can now purchase them from the soon to be opened shop called Cake, it's in Main Road, Ballarat!

If you haven't heard already, this gorgeous shop will be opening very very soon! Last week, I had the pleasure of a sneak peak of the shop and I can tell you that you are in for a lovely, warm surprise as this shop hosts the best cupcakes in town, together with gorgeous gift wares and the best coffee in Ballarat...


To Jen and your new business, enjoy this special time, it's going to be such fun! Thank you for featuring Mock Designs, I hope you like having it as much as I like making it...

Thanks to Pinball Publishing, I now have some fabulous new business cards to flash around.. Thanks guys, they made it here from America safely...

Everyone loves a wedding...

It was my sister's wedding last weekend... The weather came out to play and so did the guests! Here are a couple of happy snaps of the perfect day..

The polaroid gift registry and location map tag/bus ticket..





All guests invited received a brown paper bag package with all of the above inside... To seal the deal a vintage button and string was placed on the back to add simplicity...
