I’M NATASHA…
So excited to meet you! I built this design business because I am so passionate about design, styling, and helping others make things look beautiful. I have a B.A. in English and I love reading and discovering more artistic pursuits than I could ever possibly complete. I have been obsessed with art ever since I was a child and was fortunate enough to visit the famous Monet exhibition held in Chicago.
Why Blue Harbor Paperie? When picking out a name, I was thinking about branding first. I LOVE nautical designs as well as the color blue, and always circle back to them as my favorites, year after year. I wanted an excuse to play with nautical illustrations and have had so much fun.
I attribute my discovery of online designing to my son - because I got started by designing his birthday invitations! From there I’ve loved designing custom signs, photo albums, wedding invitations, logos & branding, and so much more for many wonderful clients. Beyond the creative endeavors that I’ve always craved, I’ve found great fulfillment in helping so many people with the design used for the most special days of their lives. I’m so excited to work with you on yours! To get started look through the shop and purchase the design you love the most.

WHAT DO YOU USE A CREST FOR?
The most common uses for crests and monograms are on wedding stationery, like invitations, save-the-dates, and thank-you cards. Many also use them on their wedding day-of paper (menus, bar sign, welcome sign, etc.) But there are lots of other places you can use a crest too! Think can coozies, garden flags, on your wedding cake or cookies, on the dance floor, playing cards, napkins, coasters, pillows, table runners, gift tags and more!
Using a crest or monogram detail throughout your wedding pieces brings a beautiful cohesiveness that your guests won’t soon forget. They make for beautiful pictures and help coordinate your day in a timeless, classic way that you can keep forever.
What about variation? You can purchase add-on pieces to your crest, such as monogram files by themselves, or a line version of your watercolor crest. This way you can use the same design throughout in a matching, coordinated fashion. For example, you can use the watercolor crest on your stationery, but just your monogram on your cups and napkins….there are so many options! Go look in the shop to see which one is perfect for you!
