Operation Personalized Wedding Gift

To go along with the monogram from my last post, I applied it to a couple of different things to create a whole personalized gift set as a wedding present. I made note cards, wine glasses, wine bottle labels, coasters, and a candle. It was a lot of work, but I had fun with it, and I think I'm going to have to start doing this for more weddings. And now the newlyweds have a great personalized wedding gift that they won't be able to get anywhere else!

Merry Christmas!

This is the Christmas card I designed this year to send out to all my friends. I wanted to do something hand-lettered and illustrative...

Creative Wrapping

I had a big box to wrap for a Christmas gift, and at about 11:00 the night before I was supposed to give the gift, I realized that the wrapping paper that I had wasn't big enough. Uh oh! Soooo, I had to do some quick thinking and pull together what I had around my house. The gift was already in a a nice white Crate and Barrel box, so I decided to see if I could find some pretty ribbon and odds and ends to put together. After topping it off with a few small branches off my Christmas tree and a couple of mini snowflake ornaments, I had a very pretty bow! And it didn't cost me anything!
