In the Studio…

Lots of stuff has been going on in the studio of late, and I’ll just share a quick rundown with you using photos from my Instagram:

1   My studio is currently undergoing a huge makeover. It’s my husband’s gift to me to help make my space more creative and fun. So sweet of him. We’re bringing in lots of uncoated pine tables and shelving and I can’t wait to show you pictures of the final look. This is a shot of one of my tables in its temporary situation.

2   I’m putting together a set of hand-painted notecards for you! These won’t come for a wee bit since I went through a creative-relapse earlier this summer. Oh boy. But I’m back on track, refreshed, reorganized, and ready to roll.

3   A different type of notecard is coming to the shop as well! Not handmade in any way. Digital design + digital print — these cards are just two of the ones that will be hitting the shop very soon.

4   Playing around with patterns, I am. This particular one will also be part of the set of notecards I mentioned in image #3.

5   There’s a big party going down in Portland on August 10th. It’s the big launch for Eyes + Edge, Portland’s new online lifestyle publication featuring all the best Portland has to offer. (Check out their site for more info + tickets.) This is a little mock-up of the little flyer I made for the swag bags that will be handed out there; I might show you the finished product later on.

6   And on a personal note, my husband surprised me with this lovely succulent basket for our 3 year + 2 month anniversary. Love him.

Also, my vineyard wedding stationery was featured on Oh So Beautiful Paper this week. Hooray!

Custom Card: Professor

Filed Under : Cards - Paper Projects

Summer is full on and all graduation parties have ended — and I’m only now getting around to sharing this custom card with you. A wife ordered this for her husband who is going through the tough path of getting his doctor’s degree and just wrapped up one leg of his journey…
