new and exciting.

2009-09-06T15:51:00.001-07:00

so a few months ago I switched from digital printing to press printed. omg.. what a difference. i am also using a new company and they are amazing.. they have gorgeous papers like art watercolor, art linen, art recycled, pearl, and they can also come with a UV coating. Even more exciting.. everything comes double sided and I am also offering tri-fold, accordian, and other fun products!! I am currently trying to get all my holiday samples finished and can't wait to post them.

when ordering birth announcements, if you'd like, they can now have a small collage of images on the back side. i love announcements which have just one picture on the front, looks clean and simple. everyone always loves to show off their babies so I thought this was a great idea(thanks karina. ha.)! here's a sample.

and some other designs i did this week..

oh and i almost forgot to announce the winner from last weeks giveaway!!

DIM

2009-06-26T21:43:00.001-07:00

i am 100% a do it myself kinda girl. i'd much rather find a treasure at a thrift store and make it fancy than buy something already beautiful. some of my hoping to DIM projects in my future...

vintage flour and sugar sacks make great laundry bags and keep the clothes off the floor, which just happens to be my problem.

these quilted note cards will most likely be my first DIM project. im a sucker for stationary and these look easy enough.

paper silhouettes. these will be nothing but darling to have of the boys.

homemade pendant lamp. i love this. made with a beach ball, string, starch and glue. but honestly.. im dying over the ornate frame against the wall.

ruffle necklace. im not a big jewelry person but for some reason i can't stop imagining this around my neck.

lastly my favorite. the wallpaper headboard. seriously so easy. a salvaged headboard and some fancy wallpaper. my room needs this. bad.
