Save the Date: Vineyard

Here is a wonderful concept for a save the date, as requested by Etsy customer Renette. I loved designing this! Her wedding is in Cape Town, South Africa in a gorgeous vineyard. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that wedding! I can only imagine how beautiful it will be.

NEW! Christmas cards - two fresh 'uns

Here are two new Christmas card designs - hot off the...keyboard? Mouse? Screen? The could be hot off the press. Anyhoo, take a look.

These are available to purchase at my Etsy store!

NEW on Etsy - you can now purchase the image for $17 and print wherever you wish!

Christmas is HERE!

Halloween is over, and Christmas is on its way. I know for fact I'm not the only one that's excited. I was making Christmas card designs in October for goodness sakes, and they've been on display since mid October. So yes, I'm pumped.

All Christmas card designs are available on my Etsy shop! They are priced at $30 for 25, which includes envelopes. Want some to give to your friends and family?? Take a looksee!

Double Happiness.

I recently designed a custom save the date for Eugenie and Alex! Alex is Chinese so Eugenie wanted to incorporate Chinese elements in to the design: red, pink, and the double happiness symbol in the back. I think I'm going to put this on my Etsy listings - check it soon!

Ikea vs. Charley

Ikea napkins.

Charley Harper.

I love Ikea napkins. Every time I take a little trip there, I get a pack of the latest graphic design-y ones. Upon my last excursion, I locked my eyes upon these Charley Harper-esque bunch and I immediately dropped them in my cart without a second thought.

Charley Harper is one of my favourite artists. What better way to honour him than to wipe the spaghetti sauce off my face with something that is inspired by him? HA. I do intend to purchase his ABC's book and 123's book for my son. And, when we move and Finn actually has a room of his own, I hope to have a Charley Harper poster hanging in his room.

Check out more Charley Harper designs here! You'll love him too!

Juicy.

A little girl called Loveia (luv-ay-ah) could only deserve the most stylin' of shower invitations. (Does the fact that I used the word 'stylin' mean I'm lame? Perhaps I should have used 'skookum') Her mama is definitely one modern girl. When making the invitation, the girl who is throwing the shower told me to "think of Juicy Couture". So I Googled Juicy Couture (I am making myself sound extremely cool) and just based it on the colour, font, and banners. Bam, this is what happened. Juicy.

Back at 'Er

I closed my Etsy shop for quite some time when I got pregnant and had a child. I suppose I just wanted to have a well-deserved break from work at all angles. Now that Finn is eight months old, I'm itching it get back and design and interact with people all over the place! So with that being said, please check out the Little Sparrow shop on Etsy! Perhaps there is something there that catches your eye. Well, if you're getting married. I'll be working on some baby stuff in the near future! Can't wait!

A Pirates Day

Check out this pirate themed birthday party invitation! Made for a friend who's dear boy is turning the big 1 next month, she requested a pirate theme, but no skull and crossbones. No problemo. Pirates don't have to be the swashbuckling, toothless, ruthless thieving scalawags they truly are, right??
