Inspired Ink – Liancarlo Revisited
I was compelled to continue with the Liancarlo inspiration from last week. I can’t get enough of the encrusted detail bodice! I am so drawn to the sparkle and texture. I decided to try my hand at a stationery inspiration board ( big thanks to Kathryn from Snippet and Ink for her daily gems). So […]
Well Said – A Sunny Sentiment
Short and sweet this week. I just adore this quote! This sweet design was created for Jody and Randy. I combined happy shades of yellow with my whimsical watercolor tree with sheer shimmer hand-painted details. Does anyone feel like lemonade??
Kristy Says you can tie the perfect knot!
Many of my clients incorporate a simple knot into their invitation designs.

Thus Christy and Ted’s very personal invitation design was born! We created a simply elegant gatefold design with a focus on materials and artwork. […]

For quite some time my studio space has been bursting at the seams…I simply have no more room! Over the last year and a half the studio seems to be getting smaller and smaller, especially when several people are working on a project at one time. Take a look at the plans for my new […]
