Thanks for all the comments on the last post about our favors. We decided to go with the circle pattern for the simple reason that we wanted to add a few more luggage tags that weren’t on a grey background.
I also mentioned in the last post that we came up with 2 new designs.
The first one was inspired by Mr. Joey’s decision to train for the STP (Seattle to Portland) bike ride this summer. He’s always wanted to do it, but he didn’t have a road bike. Last year for his 30th birthday, I surprised him by having a road bike built for him. A friend gave him a frame a few years ago, so I bought all the parts and had our neighbor and a friend build it up for him. I don’t think I have ever seen him so happy. I swear, he was smiling in his sleep for weeks.
I love the simple lines.
The second design was sort of inspired by the first. I liked the idea of incorporating modes of transport in the design, so I went with the most obvious choice: an airplane.
Both the airplane and bike image are just wingding characters in InDesign. I just enlarged them.
I’m going to use the bike luggage tag as Mr. Joey’s place card. I can’t decide what I’m going to use as my own. I’m torn between the Matroshka and the airplane. I love the Matroshka, because it represents my life in Russia. I loved being there. But then there’s the airplane. I spend a lot of time in the air for work. Plus, the airplane sort of matches Mr. Joey’s bike.
Which would you go with?

the plane. =)
ohh.. I like the plane one. Can I ask you where you found the plastic luggage tag holders from? Thanks!
Mr. Yorkie would LOVE the bike tag… What an awesome surprise you gave him for his birthday! :o)
I like the plane because you do seem to travel a lot so it makes a lot of sense! Plus I agree that it goes with Mr. Joey’s tage as well!
I love the bike tag! That is actually a great inspiration for our place cards (we are having a cycling themed wedding) - how did you get “the groom” to curve on the wheel like that?
@MrsMouse: I got the bag tags at http://www.namebadgeproducations.com
@venusfueri: I covered part of the circle with white square and then used drew an arch. You can double click on the arch and replace the line with text.
@Miss Joey: i just wanted to say thanks again very much! i was actualy able to do it in word (which is really exciting b/c i don’t have InDesign and I am a bit illiterate in Adobe, lol), and am thinking about posting a tutorial on how to do it on my blog.
That is a tuffy… but I think I’d go with the plane 
@Miss Joey: Thanks!!!
They are both super cute, but the plane fits just perfect!
i like the plane idea. can you make the plane the same size as the bike and put the names on the body of the plane?
airplane!

About Me: I'm a Seattle girl through and through except for the fact that I don't drink coffee. I love my job most of the time because I get to travel and work with brilliant people who are trying to prevent Malaria. I love DIY projects of all sorts, cooking, and watching sports. I'd wear anything at Anthropologie and could spend all day on Etsy. I love to travel but shouldn't because I always get myself into unbelievable situations!
