Works in Progress Wednesday! The "Cooking" edition

I am so happy I got the opportunity to work with Chelsea! She contacted me about wanting a fancy smancy logo for her blog.

She wanted it to incorporate her robin's egg blue mixer, throw in a little "fun", add in some "faith" and finish it off with some "bazinga" (ok she didn't say "bazinga") (do you watch Big Bang Theory?) (cause if not then you have no idea what I am talking about) (bazinga) (you just googled it didn't you?)

I LOVE this color combo!

You can also check out more designs I have made over here! Thank you Chelsea for having me be a part of your blog :)

Works In Progress Wednesday! The "Pretty in Pink" Edition

I love anything girly. So When Laura came to me with her vision for what she wanted for her shop, Lillypie Accessories, I knew we were a match made in magical girly heaven.

She wanted something with my signature flowers but placed inside a banner.

annnd this is what I came up with!

((disclaimer: the photo is not mine, it was supplied to me from Laura, the logo design however is ©Yellow Heart Art))

she squealed. I swooned. we were in love. it was a done deal.

Doncha love her lil tag line "Feel pretty, be adorable"?

Laura is an absolute sweet heart, I own some of her hair bling and even more awesomer she's a participating shop in swag swap week! Go check out her shop when you have a chance, trust me, it's worth the OOOOing and AAAHHHHing.

I've worked with Olivia 2 times already in the past, so when she came back for a round 3 I was super stoked and honored to work with her again.

Olivia is graduating from college (HIGH 5 GIRL!) and wanted a quirky invitation to include in her announcement to family members.

She wanted a little story line with various fonts ((the blurred out sections are where Olivia is having her ceremony, didn't think she wanted me to blast all over cyber space where her par-taay was or else she would have a TON of guest show up ha! Also the orange fainted text is just my watermark))

doncha love her story?? I joked with Olivia on how she needs to have me design her wedding invites.

What are you all working on?

Works in Progress Wednesday! The "Good Cause" edition

Have you heard of Thanks USA?

It's an organization that supplies scholarships to children of fallen soldiers.

Courtney started a shop on big cartel called "Thank You USA" where all the proceeds from her items will go towards this amazing cause.

She rounded up a bunch of handmade shop owners and asked them to donate. When she approached me I knew I wanted to be a part of this, no questions asked. With Bub being in the air force it really hit home for me.

Although I am so happy to be a part of such an amazing cause, it breaks my heart knowing that there are children out there with not one but *both* parents who are fallen soldiers of the war. My heart really truly goes out to them.

I hooked up Courtney with a product of mine that is only being sold at her shop. I made these super fun printable cupcake flags for thanks giving! Cause let's be honest, when you're slaving all day over the stove making a 45lb bird for your in laws who has time to make snazzy cupcakes? Well, now you do! Print out, cut out, glue to a toothpick and BAM thanksgiving is saved all thanks to you.

Watch it Martha.

Wanna support the cause AND have blinged out cupcakes for thanksgiving? Then you can nab one of these printables for 10 bucks by going here!

And check out all the other handmade shops who donated their swag! It's pretty ballin' if I do say so myself (and I do say so...)

Works in Progress Wednesday! The "let it snow" edition

I love love love designing things for friends.

I love designing them more so when it involves thee most wonderful time of the year (and no, I'm not talking about the Victoria's Secret semi annual sale, although this is a glorious time of the year--one that my boobies thank me for)

I am talkin' bout the Holidays! Ya know, Chestnuts roasting on an open fire--the stockings hung from the fireplace with care--he knows when you are sleeping he knows when you're awake mumbo jumobo (ok, Santa knowing when I'm sleeping VS awake is kinda creepy--just stalk my facebook Santa, like all my High School friends & relatives do...)

 When Jessica and Kim wanted handmade gift guides for their blogs I was all like "uhh heck yeah let's make it happen!"

Here is what I whipped up for Jessica:

to check out her gift guide go here! It's full of am-may-zing handmade shops to scope out for the holidays!

This is what I came up with for Kim

Her guide isn't up yet but check back on her blog the week of  November 7th-12th for some ballin' shops, you won't be disappointed

and since snow is almost in full force here in NY it was perfect that Kirtley contacted me around this time to come up with some new branding for her etsy shop! Her shop name is Snowdrift Designs, so I kept it modern enough to be used all year round with just the right mix of a "snow" theme!

check out her new etsy banner!

What are you doing to get into the holiday spirit? Come on people christmas is only, like, 7-1/2 weeks away! (WHA THE WHAT?!)
