color me notecards by kayla & lucas

my neice kayla, was so excited when my sister read her one of my past blog entries mentioning her name and her birthday party. so the other day, on the phone, she specifically asked me to write this blog entry.

kayla: “auntie ina, can you put my drawing on the computer?”

so this blog entry is dedicated to kayla and her brother lucas…

last month, i created a new set of notecards called, “color me” notecards. i had given a personalized set to both kayla and lucas for christmas. according to my sister, they were a big hit and both kids really enjoyed coloring and sending out thank you notes. well i recently received my thank you note from each one of them and i couldn’t be more proud of what they created.

here is their masterpiece…


kayla, age 4


lucas, age 3

these “color me first name” note cards are available for purchase on my etsy shop.

the gift of family

the sukharev’s had just taken some really great family pictures and wanted to incorporate them into their holiday card this year.

this is the design i came up with for them. the front looks like a gift with the main family portrait and the back is a collage of images with a sweet little holiday greeting.  i thought it was only appropriate as their family was blessed with the gift of twins this year.

photographs were taken by j luna photography, an on-location photographer specializing in portraits and even shots of nature to the boudoir. check out more of her work at jlunaphotography.zenfolio.com.

custom holiday greetings by in a card

this holiday season serendipity magazine will be sending out holiday greetings with an “in a card” touch!

these custom holiday cards were designed especially for serendipity magazine with a personal greeting of their own on the inside to express their sentiments to all their vendors this year.

each card was embellished with 3 tiny silver ribbons and paired with an elegant metallic silver envelope, which will be a real stand out when each recipient opens their mailbox this holiday season.

give me a sheet of 19.5″ x 27.5″ decorative paper and i will make sure to use every bit of it!

after using this decorative sheet of paper as envelope liner for my birthday invites, i kept the big pieces of scraps, like i always do, in hopes of using it for another project.

well this time around i decided to make custom cupcake toppers…

i can’t wait to get into the kitchen and bake the cupcakes for it!  check back in a few to see how the final piece turns out.
