Just wrapped up this custom home stamp for a lovely home in Ohio. This was a gift from one sister to another… as someone with 3 sisters, I am backing that! I really enjoy working with clients to figure out what the essence of each house is - which details to highlight to make it truly feel like home. In this case, it was all about the texture. The house has wood planks on the bottom and wood shingles on top. Extra details were added to capture those unique qualities… I am psyched with how it turned out!

Recently picked up this stamp set at an antique shop in Burlington. Reminds me of visiting my dad’s office as a kid and loving all of the supplies that made things “official.” Considering my biz is an army of one, it’s gonna be fun to label stuff as CONFIDENTIAL and FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY. You know, just for the helluvit.

It’s been a big post-holiday week of getting back into things, kicking off 2012 projects, and making (breaking?) resolutions. I don’t know about you, but I am ready for the weekend! Happy Friday.

Love the design of this old school Column Write pad. Also love that it claims to “avoid decimal slip” whatever that means. Sounds dangerous.

The latest custom home stamp features a gorgeous family home in Massachusetts. This one was a gift to the customer’s parents for Christmas - love that! My fave details are the lanterns flanking the front door and the flag on the far right of the house. Classic.

Hope everyone had a great holiday. After a few days off, I am back in the studio and psyched to dive into the work ahead. Before we kick off the new year, I wanted to share another custom card I created this season. The holidays are busy and stressful enough so add moving into a new home on top of that, and WHOA… impressive! So excited for Kate + Ryan and their new digs. The inside of the card features their new address along with a Christmas message. Congrats, K + R!
Thanks to everyone for making 2011 a great first year. Cheers to 2012 + all the adventures ahead! Happy New Year.
