gift wrap.

while browsing through pinterest recently, i came across some of these out of the box gift wrap ideas! thought i would share!
this one is my favorite...a little tedious though...but it looks awesome!

this one is double sided tape covered in confetti!

socks! hahaha i just hope they are new ones!

and this one just uses yarn!

Hello!

HELLO! wow...can't believe it has taken me this long to get back to my blog! sorry about my absence...it is hard to focus in the summer!

i found these adorable cards a long time ago...but i love how simple they are, but are also very cute! i think they would make anyone smile!

balloon wreath.

happy friday everyone!

i saw this balloon wreath idea over on amy atlas's design blog and thought it was so cute! a great idea for birthday decorations! she had linked to a tutorial for it...which you can find here!

stamps!

i recently got some new stamps and just started playing around with them! here are a couple new cards i have made:

lemons.

i think this commercial is adorable! i love the lemon's voice and face...it just makes me laugh!

wedding.

recently i was asked by a family friend to help her with a wedding gift. someone had given her a framed copy of her wedding invitation with the image of the church painted on the invitation...so she thought she would do the same and asked me to do something similar. well i haven't done a lot of non-computer art in quite a long time...so i was really nervous since i only had one copy of the invitation! but in the end i think all turned out well...could have been better, could have been worse...but my friend was very happy! so i am glad it worked out!

birthday.

hellooo! just popping in with a card a made recently for my mom's birthday!

new era.

so i know this really has nothing to do with design...but i think these commercials are so funny! i love john krasinski <3


have a good weekend!

starbucks.

i saw this neat gift card holder idea the other day on pinterest...and you can actually make it yourself! very cute!

graduate.

this is a card a friend asked me to make for his sister who was graduating! unfortunately, things have been super busy for me this past week and i didn't get a chance to get a better photograph before i gave it to him...so sorry about the bad photograph!

oh and can i just tell you how much i would love to be here right now? maybe next year...

origami.

i saw this stop motion piece recently and thought it was really well done! it was created for the may ipad issue of martha stewart living - very nice! i found it here!
