Bella Ink Loves: Summers on the Water

Top: PH-181 and PH-115.  Bottom: EF-163TY (Also available blank for personalization) and EF-171TY.

In Chicago, it's not summer if it doesn't include a day (or more) on the lake.  Bella Ink's President and Creative Director, Melissa, loves to unwind by sailing as often as possible.  Her love of the water has inspired many a design here at Bella Ink, and since we can't think of summer, or summer parties like The Fourth of July, without thinking about boating, here's a collection of our favorite nautical designs.

Top: CC-216, CC-157, and CC-200.  Bottom: CC-87, CC-221, and CC-133.

Maybe we'll see you out on the water, or dockside at a restaurant on the river.  Boat safely!

Bella Ink Loves: Summer Cookouts and Cocktails

Top: PH-170 and PH-169.  Bottom: PH-112 and PH-113.

It's time to light the grill, sit on the patio with a cold beverage (we like Moscow Mules) and gather with friends and family simply because its summer.  Bella Ink has a fabulous selection of invitations for cookouts and cocktails, so go ahead and plan your evening "out."  You'll need those memories when the long winter comes calling.

Top: PH-142 and PH-76.  Bottom: PH-118 and PH-141.

Moscow Mule:

1/2 oz. Lime Juice
2 oz. Vodka (Try Titos)
4-6 oz. Ginger Beer

Serve over ice, ideally in a copper mug and garnish with a lime wedge.  To make this a Kentucky Mule, swap out the vodka for bourbon.
