Grad Time!

Grad time is here and with that comes parties, celebrating, and painfully embarassing stories of how he or she at one time soiled their pants in the shopping mall at the age of two. Not that little Melissa here did that, but I'm sure her ma and pa have a few tales up their sleeves.

A Life in Polaroids

Who doesn't love Polaroids? There's just something about them that evokes a certain nostaligic feeling that no other photo-taking way does. Maybe because you only have one shot to capture a moment. A friend passed this website on to me and I was amazed. Jamie Livingston took one Polaroid every day from March 1979 to October 1997 when he passed away. It was kind of interesting to see what he was doing the day I was born (December 9 1982 - see photo below)

In Bloom

Spring is here, and I love it. I love the blossoms, the fresh green on the trees and the sun of course... I love how all these things bring such inspiration, and I love being inspired. Here's something I made for fun! Get it here.

Birthday Madness

Again, I was at a birthday party a couple weeks ago for an adorable little lady called Ruby. She is the daughter of two of our bestest friends (in the whole wide world, of course). Looking in the card stores (we shall call them "Farlton Cards" and "Gallmark") the birthday cards for one year olds were these really cheesy things that I as a graphic designer would be embarassed to even hold, let alone give to someone so special to me. So, I made it myself. I think she cared more about all the fun toys she got, but everyone else seemed to like it...

I have a store!

Cool news...I have opened up a store on Etsy.  There are a few things on there, some you see here, some not.  Keep checking back for updates to the store!

Little Lion

Last winter I was inspired to make this little lion image after seeing a funky retro Christmas wreath. Since then it has been sitting on my computer, because I didn't have much of a use for it...till now. All my friends that had babies a year ago are now holding 1st birthday parties, so I used it for a kids' birthday card! I left the inside blank so it can be used for other kid-related things. The lion has served me well. Rawr.

Cards Rule.

One of my favourite things is making greeting cards - thank you's, birthday, kids...you name it.  My lastest and greatest are these babies made for one of my pastors and greatest cheerleaders.  Recognize the pattern on the red one??
