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.
