Ella

What can i say about this ridiculously adorable little girl? It was too hard to resist using this photo of Ella as inspiration for my latest Easter creation:Once again, this beautiful photo is courtesy of Hillary Duarte Photography!

More soon!

Here comes Peter Cotton Tail

Well maybe not all that soon...but Easter is right around the corner, so I've started creating some cards for the holiday. Both are now available on Etsy:

I'll be working on more over the next couple of weeks, some of which i hope will include birth announcements.

And until i have a "fancy" blog created, I'll be tagging all my cards by occasion or holiday so that you can find them easily by clicking on the tag words shown to the side.

Look who's turning ONE!

Made for Mexico

My friend Kate has been engaged for almost two years now. Over the course of those roughly two years, she and her fiance have had a few different thoughts on wedding plans.

After many different ideas, they finally decided on the perfect spot to get married...MEXICO!

The next step: Notifying all of their family and friends.

They wanted something personal, like a letter, but with a beachy feel. I couldn't resist the opportunity to create something for them. Something that wasn't a "Save the Date," which Dave did not want, but something a bit more sentimental.

With words from the bride & groom-to-be, and a little vision of my own, Kate & Dave's Mexico wedding plans were announced:

Cheers to Kate & Dave!

Be My Little Valentine

I was trying to think of the best way to "start" my blog...perhaps with an opening post to tell every about me, or explain how I got into creating photo cards and stationery. But then i remembered that I'm a Mom, and Mom's don't have much time. SO...I'm bloggin' while the bloggin' is good and jumping into some of my favorite clients this month.

First, I have to say that the month of February, and Valentine's Day, make for some adorable ideas when it comes to photo cards. But a card is only as adorable (and what i like to call delicious) as the picture in it.

AND, when i think delicious, i think of these little Valentine's:

Baby Bella

Bella's Mom had contacted me to ask some questions about this birth announcement. I was so excited when she reached out in hopes that I would be able to create this for her. After receiving her super cute photo (and who can resist a bare baby bottom?!?), and working in the names of her proud family members, this is what was created:

Miss Maggie

First off, can we all please note just how fashionable Maggie's hat is? Or how irresistible she looks wearing it? Maggie's Mommy mentioned that she was a bit behind in ordering her Valentine's as Maggie had been a bit under the weather. I don't know about you, but i think she looks PERFECT in this picture!:

And last but not least...

Addison

Honestly, i just LOVED this photo when Addison's Mom sent it to me. It just captures how happy she is at that moment in time. The funny thing about this...the little girl in the photo card i posted for sale on Etsy is also named Addison. I guess i should think of renaming it for next year as the "Addison Card.":

Up next are Easter/Spring cards, and some other new creations in between!
