Happy Friday!



Happy Friday! I have a lot of goals for June, including posting more often in my blog. Right now, I'm working on getting new items up in the shop. I just took some pictures today which include the “thanks a bunch” card. This is my favorite card that I've designed so far, and it’s printed on luscious finch cover paper.

Although I have a lot of business goals, I also have some personal goals as well. I’m going to be spending some time away from my studio to plan my wedding :) . I've been so obsessed with helping my sister plan hers, but now it’s my time to start working on mine. I'm all ready thinking of doing something unique like screen printing my save a date on veneer wood. Now, I just have to come up with a design and colors, which for me is the best part of planning a wedding!

By the way... my labrador friend, Riley, always has to come follow me where ever I take pictures.

My Comfort Food

Have you ever eaten at a restaurant so often that it becomes comfort food? Last year I discovered cute little cafe place called The Rolling Pin Café located in Westwood, NJ (Bergen County). The have delicious homemade food that tastes just like your grandma made it. They offer the most delightful savory sandwiches, salads and desserts. My favorite dish is the mixed green salad with candied walnuts, feta cheese and apple cider vinaigrette.

My new Saturday routine is to wake up and order my mixed raspberry iced tea/lemonade drink. Pure love with every gulp! If you in the area, you should stop by. Your taste buds will thank you for it!

Ladybug spring/summer tags


I made these little ladybug gift tags the other night for mother's day (May 10, in case you need a friendly reminder!) I thought it would add a nice special touch when I give my mother and my fiance's mother their gift! I enjoyed making them so much I made about a dozen more.  If your interested in them check out my etsy shop. They are perfect for spring/summer gift occasion. Even make them into favor name tags for a kid's party!

Cheers!

Sneak Peek!

Happy Thursday! I just finished silk screening 120 RSVP cards for Kimberly's wedding. I'm still working on the wedding invitations, but I thought I would share a sneak peek with you! She decided on a modern theme with Victorian flairs for the final product. I really love the color scheme of hot pink envelopes and a dash of icy blue text.







I'm looking forward to completing this fun project for the bride's special day! I'd like to thank Kimberly for this opportunity.

There Are 364 Other Days to Express Your Love



Hello everyone! I hope that you all spent a nice Valentine's Day with your loved ones! I recently designed a unique set of screen printed cards in celebration of love. My favorite thing about this card are the matching envelopes. 

The red envelopes are embossed on the flap with a heart. It's a subtle detail, but I really think it adds a nice touch to the card.

This card is great for anniversaries, birthdays, or any of those random "I love you" occasions. If you're interested in this card, it will be available through my shop this May. If you want to express your love, or any sentiment in a specific way, I can make you a custom card with your personalized message too! Feel free to e-mail me.
