A few weeks ago, I was able to help a very good friend of mine, and old roommate, with her friend’s baby shower invites.  Knowing that they were on a tight budget, but still wanting something original, I had my work cut out for me.  Sometimes though, when you’re under tight constraints, you can be really creative.  Having gone through architecture school, I am no stranger to making something out of garbage (literally).  There was one project that really tested our design ability when I made a study model out of banana peels, carrots, egg shells and another one out of old denim.  Anything to communicate the big idea right?

So with a tight budget, a color palette that had to include purple and pink, and a knitted boot as inspiration, I was able to make something that was simple, classy, elegant and fun.
