Christmas Showcase #1 - What a Difference a Day Makes!

Happy December 1st!!! I am so excited to start our Shop Small Christmas Showcase today!!!! I have so many fun projects that are just jumping to be shared with you all.

I thought I would start the showcase off with the GIVEAWAY!!! Who does not like a giveaway?? I know I am usually the first in line when it comes to the idea of winning something fun. Usually I don't even care that much what it is.. I just want to be able to say "I won." This giveaway, however, I know you will enjoy.

We are giving away a Custom 11x14 "What a Difference a Day Makes" print. (You can find official rules HERE.) So I thought I would take the time today to showcase some of the custom date prints I have had the honor of putting together for several clients.

To say that I LOVE the date choices on these prints would be an understatement. On my original I used big dates in my family, Weddings, Birthdays... simple stuff. These ladies I was designing for had some amazing dates to remember. Ranging from Birthdays, Weddings, Engagements, Adoptions, Hospitalizations and Surgeries, Home Ownership, even to remembering the days loved ones have left this earth.

I have never met these wonderful families but I loved being a little fly on the wall in the momentous days in their lives. To me, this is what a small business is all about. The ability to personalize and create something unique for each person. This is why I do what I do, this is what I love!

ENJOY and I look forward to creating one of these fun prints for our Grand Prize winner at the end of the month!!!

A little Red, White & Blue!

Happy 4th of July week!!!!I recently participated in a fun giveaway hosted by my wonderful friend at Fabulous Friday Freebies. For this event I created a patriotic special edition of my "What A Difference A Day Makes" prints I designed earlier this year using the dates from my own little family as a sample for the giveaway. Can I just say that I LOVE how it turned out and just had to share it with you to kick off this festive week!!!! (And yes I even had one printed up small so I could use it with my 4th of July decorations around the house.)

ENJOY and hope everyone has a wonderful week celebrating Independence Day!!!

Every Day Should be Mothers Day!!!

Ok, Ok, so in true fashion of being a mom with 2 little ones I am a few days behind with my Mothers Day Post. But as I sat down to write I decided that EVERY DAY should be Mothers Day, so in reality I am not behind at all!!!

To be honest though, I could not post my fun Mothers Day gift/designs because I had not given them to my Mother and Mother-in-Law yet. And of course, however excited I was to show these to you,  I did not want to spoil the surprise!!

These "What a Difference a Day Makes" design prints were inspired by an amazing fellow designer over at Pixels to Paper and I just knew I needed to create something similar for my family for Mothers Day. I Love, Love, Love, Love how they turned out!! (And yes, I did make one for myself this time!)

ENJOY!!!!
