baby school pride

it’s always fun creating custom onesies for my Etsy customers.  recently i had a custom request for twin onesies that i thought was such a clever and cute idea, i had to share.

mommy to be is a Oklahoma State grad…

and daddy to be is a Auburn Univeristy grad…

i wonder which school these twins will be going to when they get older???

new simplewear gift box

don’t you just hate when they discontinue your favorite nail polish or lipstick color???

well that is how i felt when my vendor was completely sold out of the boxes i use for my simplewear gift wrap. unfortunately, i haven’t been able to find those boxes anywhere! in stores or online! so what happens now? well you roll with the punches and find a new box.

meet the new simplewear gift box…

same cute packaging, a darker more “krafty” color but still holds those adorable simplewear onesies and tees! once again, available for purchase at my etsy shop.

support japan

my best girlfriend and favorite jeweler, april kawaoka, has created these amazing tribute pieces to support the relief efforts in japan from the march 2011 earthquake and tsunami disasters. half of the sales to these pieces will go to the american red cross to help aid japan.  visit her blog post for more information and details.

please visit april’s Etsy shop, aprilkawaoka.etsy.com, to make your purchase and help support japan.

like i’ve said before, i believe that a kind heart will inspire many more.

march madness

it sure has been madness around here!

the month is already half over and this is only my first blog entry for the month. reason being that i’ve been busy with tons of projects makes it all the better though. it’s been the end and start of catalog season for 2 of my clients, my etsy shops (inacard.etsy.com & simplewear.etsy.com) have remained consistent with orders and i’ve also had several custom requests for both invitations and onesies. before the month slips away, i want to make sure i share a few images from recent projects i’ve completed.

i had a request for the fun layered cupcake invitations i designed a while back. it was fun creating these special invitations once again.

i turned one of my new little invites into a big 5″x7″, which allowed for more information to be included on the invite.

my great aunt theresa recently turned 80 and i helped my cousin nadia create these fun party favors for each guest. theresa is known to be one of “the best” cooks in our family so it was such a clever idea to gift everyone with spices and a recipe of chicken satay, which calls for all 3 spices in the ingredients.

each spice was also marked with an image of theresa during different times of her life.

Chlo+E had a alex & wonderland themed bat mitzvah party, where once again their dessert table was nothing short of fabulous. besides the usual buffet tags and labels i normally design for them, they added some fun character cut-outs as well to the spread.

the girls recently launched their new website, so make sure to check them out!
