It seems every quarter or so, I now have a photoshoot to schedule! Giving life to my stationery products and having fun with the products brings them to life for me. I absolutely adore writing and giving cards AND receiving them. It’s totally my love language. My assistant, Anushka, helps me coordinate all the pretty details and pose on the day of the shoot while my bestie Greg takes the photos! It’s a collaborative effort and the secret is to let loose and have fun with it.

I have been utilizing small checker prints in a lot of my most recent cards as either a background or a border print. So naturally, I wanted the backdrop for this shoot to be a big checker print. By some small miracle, I found a pack of mixed pink construction paper cut in squares making it WAY easy to throw this together.

During the spring, my product focus is on new birthday, baby and wedding plus Mother’s Day and Father's Day!

This year I’m super excited that Anthropologie will be carrying my ‘brightest color crayon’ mother’s day card [ see in photo above, bottom right ]

Celebrations are always in order with birthdays and weddings. Nothing screams celebration more to me, than a big old disco ball. You’ll see them featured in may of my greeting cards! Along with flowers, balloons and lots of desserts, of course.

I have been absolutely obsessed with reading the last few months. I started to notice I wasn’t sleeping well at night after scrolling social media for way too long. I have always enjoyed reading but I fell out of it for a bit, you know life with small kids sometimes distracts you from your favorite hobbies! So I got back into it and I don’t see that stopping anytime soon. I’ve really been into fantasy reads and lots of smutty romance to encourage some spice in my actual life, if you catch my drift ;)

With all that in mind, I design from the heart and my own life experiences so you’ll see #booktok inspired artwork below!

My son turned 5 this year! We threw him an adorable birthday party in an art studio and he chose for everyone to paint a shark! He has really been loving all things under the sea lately, so this new birthday card below is inspired by my Logan!
