Guest Post at It's Better Together

Go over to the It's Better Together blog and check out my guest post on holiday business etiquette!

Business Cards

Loving these business/blog cards--what a great idea to get connected with someone!

A Special Save the Date

I loved creating this save the date for two of my dearest friends!  Its a postcard, which makes it super easy to address and slip in the mail ;)

Christmas Card

Here's a Christmas card I did for Nancy, who is a really sweet client I've had the pleasure of working with in the past.  I just love the "snow" detail on the wrap around sticker.

Gift Certificates

I designed these gift certificates for the company who catered my wedding: Big Wheel Provisions. The project came about because I wanted to give my parents cooking classes from Tony for a wedding gift, because through the process we all fell in love with Tony's food. When I asked if he offered gift certificates, he said, well I've been meaning to ask you about that.... and here's what we came up with:

Sip 'n See

The mother in-law of one of our favorite bloggers, Erin at Blue Eyed Bride, had me design a Sip 'n See invitation for baby Hudson. I love the design and think it is the perfect invitation. Don't Erin and Hudson look especially cute??

wedding day stationery

This was the oh so special card I made to give Manolo on our wedding day. I really love it! I wish you could see the card he made me--blew this designer out of the water ;)

AB Designs goes outside the box

This very sweet boyfriend commissioned a drawing of him and his girlfriend to be put on a spiral notebook. Ask and you shall receive!

Business Cards

Brad and Katie

How cute is this? I love that Katie is wearing a dress with pockets! I really think it makes the whole thing.

Salon Certificates

Jeanette Adrian Salon and Spa loves to treat customers' who refer new clients! These certifcates are given out to clients who refer someone to the salon and allow them a complimentary pedicure, manicure, fill, or nail set in exchange for their referral. I designed these specifically with Adrian in mind and she loves them!

Aw, Thanks!

Thank you so much to the super sweet Kathryn over at Est. 3.13.07.

I did these moving announcements for her and her new husband a few weeks ago! She did a super sweet post on the announcement over at her blog.

Thanks Kathryn, you were a pleasure to work with!

The Porters

How adorable are the Porters' dogs?? I had such a blast drawing them and I think they're faces are priceless! You can tell just how much personality they have.

Mom to Be!

Lauren came to me wanting to capture her family while their little one was still on the way. This was my first time sketching an expectant mom and I think the image is fantastic. Lauren is sure to be fiercest mom around in those shoes! And of course you can't leave out the original babies: the dogs! Donovan and Mia look ready for their close-up.

Custom Print and Matching Stationery

What a thoughtful gift! A client came to me wanting custom stationery for a friend of hers and also thought it would be great to have the image on the stationery done as a print too. I think it turned out great and I hope the print will be a great addition to their home!

Blog Header Design

A few days ago the lovely Betsy from "Miss Monogram" asked me to redesign her blog header. She requested an illustration of her at her desk, so I went to work and this is what I came up with! I really love the way the whole look comes together and it is all very warm and friendly just like her! Hop on over to Miss Monogram and check out the new design!!

Aw, Thanks!

I had the pleasure of working with Annie over at Up North Preppy blog.

She came to me full of ideas and we started designing right away.
I LOVE the way her design came out, so very preppy.

Thanks again Annie for featuring me on your blog, I had a wonderful time working with you!

Baby Stationery

They ever so wonderful Erin over at Blue-Eyed Bride asked me to create something special for her baby boy. She wanted stationery that was not to "babyish" and looked like a southern boy. This is what I came up with! I am just head over heels in LOVE with the design. Thank you so much Erin! I so enjoy working with you.
