This stationery was designed for one of our family friends who wanted a special gift to give to her mother. She wanted something with her mom's monogram and something that depicted her love for golf. Also, her mother's favorite color is red/cranberry, so I tried my best to add a hint of that to the artwork in photoshop and also to the envelope liners. The original artwork for this design is done with pencil and ink. I think it turned out beautiful. :)
If you are interested in this design, I can adjust the colors, the monogram, and the font as needed.
Finished product. :)

Please come by and see me and some other great artists on April 16th at the Handmade Spring Show in Homewood. I'd love to see you guys!
This is one of my favorites to date. One of my dear friends ordered it as a gift to give to one of our mutual friends. Knowing that our mutual friend loves birds and bird's nests, she knew from the beginning that she wanted something along those lines. The final design was produced from one of my original sketches and then color was added in photoshop. I hope she liked the final product. :)
These custom cards were lots of fun to make. One of my friends who makes a lot of handmade goodies wanted something to attach to each of her items. The design itself is one of my originals and was inspired by images she had shown me of some of her family's artwork.

Designing these calling cards had me reminiscing over my childhood and the adventures of pooh and the gang in the Hundred-Acre Woods. This design, done for one of my co-worker's sons, was produced from one of my original watercolored sketches.

Children's calling cards are gaining more and more popularity. I love these calling cards. They make me think of when I was a little kid and Dad would pull me in my little red wagon to the park. Such great memories. :) The following design was actually done for the son of one of my coworkers. It was produced from one of my original watercolored sketches.

These wedding invitations were designed for my brother-in-law's wedding. Since the wedding is so close to Chrismas, they wanted the design to be Christmas themed. I offered three different designs options and this ended up being the winner. The red berries are an original graphic created by first hand sketching the design, then watercoloring and inking it afterwards. The design was then scanned into the computer and touched up in photoshop. After the invitations were printed, each one was mounted onto a dark brown shimmer paper to make them more festive. :)

These custom baby shower invitations were a lot of fun to do. One of the inspiring elements for the invitation was a table runner that would be used at the baby shower. Wanting to carry the theme, the hostesses requested that I create something that emulated the table runner design and the shower decor. The resulting custom artwork was done by sketching out a floral pattern, lightly watercoloring, and then finishing with black ink. Sweet and feminine, this design is perfect for celebrating the coming of a sweet baby girl.

This next design started as a gift for my sweet friend, Laura. Knowing that she likes sheep, I thought these would be perfect. :) As I'm finding out with the past few shows I've done, lots of other people are sheep lovers as well and have turned this design into one of my top sellers.

Since I'm so behind on blogging, I have a lot of designs that need to be posted. The best thing I can think to do is to start from my first designs (from over a year ago) and go from there. So, here goes....
My first stationery orders came from my sweet friend, Holly. She gave me freedom to come up with something and surprise her. Knowing that she has the best green thumb around, I thought that she would like something floral. Both designs were hand drawn and painted and then scanned in for editing and reproduction.
