An evening walk together.

After a few days of being away from my husband and daughter for the National Stationery Show in NYC, we were able to enjoy a wonderful evening walk together.  I've been so busy with wedding season, that I haven't had much time to truly enjoy these moments and take some new photos of my little Maeve.  Tonight just seemed like the perfect night!

Maeve's first ponytail!  I love that little curl!

Check out the wedding of Laird & Ross in the May issue of Brides Magazine!  It was such an honor working with them on their wedding stationery.  Thank you to Elizabeth Porcher Jones for the gorgeous calligraphy artwork and to Kristin Newman Designs for giving me the opportunity to work with Laird & Ross. 

Vintage Florals is available on Shutterfly & Tiny Prints!

I am beyond thrilled to announce that my first photo book design has just launched on Shutterfly & Tiny Prints!  It is available in both the Custom Path and Simple Path versions. 

The Custom Path is definitely my favorite and allows you to choose my pre-designed pages or you can create your own version of Vintage Florals by playing around with embellishments, pattern bands, washi tapes, etc.  It is just like virtual scrapbooking!  Take a look and have some fun!

For the Love of Paper: Valentine Printable

I finally finished my daughter's Valentine design and thought I would share it with all of you.  She will be adding her own special touch by drawing pictures on all of the envelopes (at least that is the plan.)

A huge thank you to everyone who came to my "For the Love of Paper" demo at the Country Living Fair this past weekend!  I hope you enjoyed learning some simple ways to add maximum "wow" without all of the work for your next party.  I am excited to share all of my Halloween patterns and templates with everyone on October 1st!  Stay tuned as you are in for a real treat!

Maeve & Hattie - BFF's

I recently made these little t-shirts for Maeve and her cousin Hattie.  They are only 7 weeks apart in age, which means they will share many wonderful memories of growing up together as BFF's.  The picture below documents one of those moments!  Too cute for words...

Maeve and Hattie

Each t-shirt uses their actual profiles.  Hattie's t-shirt is flipped to read "Hattie & Maeve".

A Shower for Bebe Bjornard

What a wonderful weekend!  Family, friends and a lovely day for a baby shower.  Our dear friends, Abigail & Erik, are expecting their first baby this October.  I hosted her baby shower at my house this weekend along with another friend of ours.  Just wanted to share some photos...

A screen printed onesie was sent in a box lined with the registry details and sealed with a wraparound address label.

The perfect spot to gather.

Nothing like a little spiked lemonade to get things rolling.

Lemon poppyseed flavored popcorn by Pam's Popcorn.  YUM!

Handmade paper rosettes.

A tie for the little guy.

Delicious cake balls by Sugar Inc.

Abigail now lives in NYC, so I created these pins to mimic the iconic souvenir.

Abigail and Maeve.

A gorgeous group of ladies.  Thank you for making it such a special day for Abigail!

Maeve's Stationery

Now that Maeve is almost one year old (unbelievable), I decided it was time to design her first set of stationery.  I used the photograph below to inspire the illustration.  The wispy bangs are her signature look!
