I took a bit of a social media breather this month. (Maybe a lot of us have.) That also includes paying attention to my blog. It’s been a trying month to say the least, but I’m so, so hopeful that things will get better as the year goes on. I’m brushing off the dust a […]

The day is here to share my 2020 Holiday Photo Cards with you! I’ve said this a million times, but holiday designing takes up about 9 months of my year. So it’s a pretty exciting day when I get to put all my hard work out into the universe. Although this year is far from […]

When I sat down to write this post, I started thinking about the last birth announcement I had for sale at Minted. I couldn’t remember, so I looked back through my submissions to check. It has been five years since I last had a winner in this one! Granted, I wasn’t submitting regularly for a […]

When you’ve been designing wedding invitations for a while, you are bound to find your work “in the wild” from time to time. It is such a pleasant surprise when I stumble upon one of my designs featured on a popular wedding blog or a photographer’s website. My “Down by the Sea” invitation has been […]

Guys, I’m sooo behind in posting new designs! I updated my site earlier this year and was determined to add new work to the blog as it launched, but clearly it’s been a struggle. I just finished designing save the dates for this year’s Minted challenge, so I figured it was time to share my […]
