Back in the new year, when my friend Kelly sent me her inspiration pictures for her son's first birthday party, (the adorable Henry) I was pretty excited. I mean animals in neon party hats - hello! I got to work illustrating and printing a flat, 4 colour invitation for the... Continue reading

Days in the California desert

As I mentioned a few posts ago, Cory and I were fortunate to plan a short trip following the One of a Kind Show. It was last minute (as are all trips when your husband's in the military) and exactly what we needed (ok, wanted). Having both been absorbed with... Continue reading

Spring 2013 One of a Kind Recap

At the end of March I packed up my paper goodies and once again set up the Flakes Paperie booth at the One of a Kind Show. The Spring show always seems so short compared to the Christmas Show (I'm not complaining!) and it was great to see many of... Continue reading

Having taken a brief (ok, 2 month) hiatus from blogging, I thought I'd share a snapshot of what I've been up to courtesy of my instagram feed, which actually serves as a convenient reminder of what the heck I've been doing. Along with exhibiting at the Spring One of a... Continue reading

R+M's twisty tree booklet invitation

Rachael and Matt's invitation is a great example of just how unique and personalized a custom invite can be.

Madeleine's announcement

This past summer I had the pleasure of creating a birth announcement for sweet little Madeleine (ohhh that name!). Madeleine's Mom, my good friend Johannah's only request was that it compliment her son Eddie's announcement. We chose a pretty coral as the main colour with pops of brown and blue...

I just wanted to share a few phone pics edited with one of my favourite apps, Afterglow. I mostly love it for the border options - you can make circles, triangles, hearts and more. As per usual, most of these pictures are of Mister Pimms. He so tires of the... Continue reading

Turkey Chowder deliciousness

Being sick over the holidays meant I wasn't able to make my favourite turkey soup. Thankfully we were able to freeze the turkey carcass (that sounds moderately creepy) and so I spent much of Sunday in the kitchen simmering the stock and chopping veggies. Making your own stock is time... Continue reading

One month ago today.

Today marks one month since my beloved Mom passed away. She was such an important part of my life; making her laugh was my favourite thing to do, and hearing the sound of that laughter in her last few years brought me comfort unlike anything else. Though she struggled with... Continue reading

As this week's screen-printfest continues, I've been playing my iTunes on shuffle and just redisovered this tune that I was obsessed with earlier in the summer. It gets espeically good at 2 min 28 seconds, at which point I frantically dance like a crazy person. You should probably do the... Continue reading

Architectural Inspiration

The lovely Danielle and Ross hoped for an invitation inspired by the historic buildings of The Distillery District, where they will be married.
