Yep, I am in a Harry Potter mood today!!! But it's mostly because I am gonna share with you one of my favorite projects from this summer. A Harry Potter themed Baby Shower invite and matching "bring a book" card!!!
I have to admit I had so much fun designing these cards. I am a total HP fan and these invites absolutely brought out the literature nerd in me, and I love it!!!

These adorable invites were for a dear family friend who is welcoming her 1st born in just a few months. A little BOY!!! The nursery is Owls and Harry Potter, so naturally the baby shower was theme fitting as well. So cute, and so special for this little precious baby on the way!

ENJOY and congrats Megan and Aaron on your little one on the way!!

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

I am so excited to share this cute little print with you all today! I am absolutely in love with how it turned out and hope you all enjoy it too!!

A dear sweet friend of mine is expecting a new little baby boy in the next few weeks to bookend their adorable family of soon-to-be-9. Yep, thats 5 giggling girls in the middle of 2 adventurous young men!! You can be sure that Big brother is excited to finally have one on his side!

I was honored to be asked to help design a custom quote to hang in this new little blessings room. My friend shared with me the quote she wanted along with the grey and aqua of the nursery, and I knew exactly how it needed to look! I am so blessed to get to see a project go from an idea to reality!

ENJOY and I can wait to see pictures of the newest little guy when he gets here!!!!

And yes, I had to make a girly version to match!!! I just could not help myself!!

- Want a copy for yourself? Both prints are now available in my ETSY store!! - 

Something New...

Happy Tuesday!!!

Ok, so January is already half over (WHAT?) but I wanted to share a little something new that I have had rattling around in my head to kick off New Year.

I am not one to make New Years Resolutions, I prefer a word or phrase to be my Motto, if you will, for the year. Something to strive for and be encouraged by. Something to help sum up the year and the things I am looking forward to as the new year begins.

This year it came in the form of a verse. One that randomly crossed my path and has stuck with me for the long haul....

"For I am about to do something NEW.
    See, I have already begun!
 Do you not see it?
    I will make a pathway through the wilderness.
I will create rivers in the dry wasteland!"  (Isaiah 43:19)

To me this verse paints a beautiful picture of the promises of God. The Lord does not begin something unless He plans on seeing it to completion!!!! So these valleys and harsh wilderness that we must walk through will one day be filled with the richness of life. Life is not always pretty, and at times can be downright messy but HE has already begun something NEW, something that HE alone will see to completion and this my friends is a beautiful thing!!!

ENJOY and Happy New year to you all. May this year be filled with blessings!!

Christmas Countdown #10 - It Came Without Ribbons...

Hello and Happy Monday!!!!

Are you ready?? Our Christmas Countdown starts today!!!

I love being able to design fun things this time of year and this countdown is just a fun little way to spread the Christmas Spirit and Joy to all of you as we lead up to Christmas Eve!!!

So without further ado, our countdown kicks off with a little custom print I designed for a 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway over at Fabulous Friday Freebies. I am so honored to partner with them again and this little print not only makes me smile but through all the hustle and bustle of this season it is a good reminder that "Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more!"

ENJOY!

Some Days...

Happy Tuesday!!

"  Some days you conquer the world.
         Some days you simply survive.
               Some days... they are the same thing!!!"

These words have been ringing in my head for a while now and even more so today as I had the privilege of hanging out with my dad in the chemo center. In the past few years I have seen a LOT of various hospital walls, amazing nurses, expert doctors... and so many hurting people!!!!

Today was no different.

There is something amazingly profound about watching the strength a person can have as they face adversity and trials in their life. Yes, we all crumble and collapse at times. But then other times there is a mighty hand that pulls us back up and we know that today we are gonna be ok.

And with each of these faces of the people I meet that are hurting or going through trials they never thought could possible come their way... I see that in their fight, in their simple day-to-day survival, they are on top of that mountain conquering the world!!! To some, getting through a rough day may not be that big of a deal, but to others it is everything!!

This print is one that I created for a dear, sweet, young friend of mine who is truly an inspiration as she fights her daily battle. But I just keep meeting others who might need this same encouragement so I wanted to share it with you all as well!!

ENJOY and if you have someone in mind who you would like to send a print to, please let me know, I have several I would like to giveaway!!!

Take me out to the Ball Game!!!

July has arrived!!!! Which means it is time for some Red, White and Blue!!!!

I am so excited to share with you an amazing little print I was asked to design recently. And yes, I have been saving this one especially for this week to celebrate the 4th of July in official Red, White and Blue style!!!

A dear friend of mine commissioned this print as a special surprise for her father. Over the past several years her father has made it his goal to attend a game at ALL of the baseball stadiums in both the American and National leagues. If you are not familiar with baseball.. that is 30, yes THIRTY stadiums across the country.

This year for her fathers birthday my friend took him to the final stadium on his list! WOW! To celebrate this accomplishment I was asked to design a print with all the stadiums, dates, and teams played for each place he visited. It was quite the puzzle of details and numbers but I simply LOVE how it turned out!!! She even had it printed on the back of a shirt for him to wear to the game. So fun, and he got a lot of compliments and congrats on accomplishing his goal!!!! Yep, I love it!!!

ENJOY and may you all have a wonderful week celebrating with family and friends!!!
