I love this City Scape greeting card by blancucha for its modern, architectural design:

I love this Get well card by DankhCreations because band-aids are cute:

I love this Bling Bling engagement card by claireeyedesign because it's funny (and it rhymes!).

I love this You Rock greeting card by glademade because sometimes that's all you need to say:

So many lovely cards! Well done, Etsians :)

PS: Soon I hope to have some cards in my shop, too ;)

VW Thank Yous

I am super excited. I just printed out the first of the thank you cards I designed, and I absolutely adore them. The drawing is based off Alex's 1979 Volkswagen Westfalia, which is our wedding color (and his color). Of course, purple is my color and our secondary wedding color, so I had to add that one in too :) I really like these!!! After all the wedding stuff is over (our Austin reception is Oct 3) I think I might print out more and add them to my etsy shop. I'm so glad that I can print them out myself! I'll probably look into getting them printed somehwere, but at the moment doing it myself is most cost-effective.

Thanks for looking!

I make awesome cards

if I do say so myself ;) Here are two cards I've recently made for my sister. They are very simple, but they make me happy :) They are hand-drawn with simple ink liners and markers for a hint of color. I really enjoy the personal touch ;D

Wedding Invitations!

Do you love our invitations? I went through many iterations trying to find a style that I truly loved. We wanted clean, simple, and modern, with accents of our wedding colors. They needed to have big enough print for our elderly guests to easily read and a bold look. I think they turned out quite well! Our envelopes are bright green with a heart cutout and stitching along the bottom as our handmade touch (and to create envelopes the right size for the invitations!).


Our Invitation (to the reception in Austin) and our program (for those at the wedding in Hawaii)



Our reply card (people can decorate it!)


And our lovely envelopes (before being sewn) :D

I'm so excited....I can't wait to receive the reply cards!! Hopefully people will actually decorate them....

Presents for the Chanithans

Mr. & Mrs. Chanithan (Chani + Jonathan) have two cats. A couple of weeks ago, one of their cats becamely deathly ill. So as not to worry you, I will reveal that now, after a blood transfusion and lots of rest, the cat is very healthy again! But while he was sick, some friends and I got together to make something for them. I made peanut butter fudge (to die for.) and a cat card! Completely silly and goofy, but I love the cat card!

Then the other night, while we were playing games, I knit a tiny white huggle. It's so cute ^_^ In my head I named it Diddle, but I'm not sure what the new owners will call it. It was small enough that I decided to use yarn for the eyes instead of plastic ones, and I even added a little mouth. The Chanithans loved it so much that they decided to take him home. I hope they are very happy with him!

New Character Drawing!

Made this for my friend's birthday today :) I hope she likes it!

Embroidered Birthday Card

Remember that card I wrote about that I made for my friend? Well, I got her to send me pictures so now I can share!

It was my first embroidery attempt, and I think I did a decent job. Another friend's birthday is coming up next week, and I think I may embroider something for him...Guess it's time to go to the craft store ;)


[Today I'm having an Easter egg dying party!! Will upload pics later ;)]
