Woolnough Save-the-Date





I picked up my scissors, ruler, and glue stick and crafted these save-the-dates for my new friends the Woolnoughs. I am still blown away by their support and encouragement. The amazing photographer was Jenny from gallerypj.com
I haven't printed them yet. Did these pictures trick you? : ) No but seriously I Can't wait to really see them in real print! We order them next week, so real photos soon!

Postal Possibilities!

Today, I discovered that custom photo stamps exist. And I did a little fist pump. How cool is that?

Reading is le sexy!


What I've been reading these days East of Eden by Steinbeck, Black Swan Green by Mitchell, Downtown Owl by Klosterman, and Franny and Zoey by Salinger. I've been reading more this past season than I did in college, and it feels so good. When I read a lot, like how I've been reading lately, I feel right with myself. I doodled this satire illustration... with the help from some artists. (My favorite book in this pack was Franny and Zoey pick it up!!!)


The picture above is how I feel when I'm reading haha and the picture below is what I look like when I'm reading.
Bahahaaa!

Lightning Striking Mountains

For the last 5 nights I have had the honor of seeing a light show over the desert mountains! As the sky lights up, so does my awe-struck wonder!

Mountain Romance (save-the-dates)





Hey, Hey, hey look who just got engaged. I'm so happy for you Megan!

The picture was taken in Colorado right after he proposed
(We're printing these save-the-dates at the end of this week)

Mother England and her wedding


I'm working on Jack and Brit's wedding invitation. It's English themed, hence the flag, Big Ben, and the London Eye. My favorite part about working with this couple is when they say cheers instead of thank you at the end of an email. Love it! I can't wait to print this baby out on beautiful paper so I can post a better picture of it.

My first wedding invitation creation

I think I fell in love with paper last March.
It was my spring fling that is still going strong.
These invitations stem from my new love, and
I guess that is why they're wedding invitations.

{The checker pattern in the background alternates between a
flower pattern and an old vintage church illustration.}

Hire me!



In my desperate job hunt for a creative job I decided to try a creative approach. I'm inquiring at this textile pattern studio that executes their designs onto fabrics. I really would like to work there! So I sent them my resume, portfolio and a cover letter transferred onto a t-shirt. The catchy line I went for went like this,
"Overall, it would be an exciting and worthy pursuit to see design transferred onto fabric."
** (I know God is a God of order and plans. {insert a sigh of peace} All the good, all the successes come from his power and in his name!) So maybe I get the job, or maybe I get the next job, or maybe I wait on him for the 20th job... the point is I wait on him.
