i'm not ready for a baby yet, but looking at my stationary lately, i think i have babies on the brain. when you reach your mid-twenties, babies start popping up everywhere! no matter how much you try to deny your baby desires, it's hard to hide when your friends start having gorgeous, squishy, squeezable babies. i had the honor of creating my namesakes baptism invites, shown below. please visit my etsy shop to view a full collection. i love custom orders, so let me know if you have an idea i can help you with.

     

   

below are some recent orders printed out and getting them all ready to ship! 

 i recently found a great idea called the smile project. i challenge you all to play along. write down something that makes you smile every day for one year. i will be updating mine every week or so here on my blog. 

love,

bikes, bikes, and more bikes

maybe it's because i married a cyclist, maybe it's because they are vintage looking and they remind me of europe... whatever it is, i love drawing bikes!

i started with a bike for two

then drew this cute little tricycle

and finally this vintage penny farthing 

whatever my inspiration came from, i am seeing a recurring theme... you can expect more bike themed stationary to come in the future. i have added more items to my etsy shop too, so check out what is going on over there.

bonjour mon amis

... okay, so i don't speak french, but i do love paris. i fell in love with paris when husband and i went to visit and i could have spent the whole time perched under the eiffel tower. 

i have been working on some new stationary, one of the new items inspired by my love of the eiffel tower. visit my etsy shop design by keally to see all my new items. here is a little preview...

cards galore

I love drawing and creating stationary. It is my outlet from a busy day at work and I really hope to just be doing this one day (a girl can dream, right?!). I have added some more of my creations to my etsy shop and have some more sketches in the works too. Keep an eye out for more vintage inspired cards.

I hope to make some bi-fold cards soon and maybe some custom postcard invitations and letter head monogram stationary... stay tuned!

my love of all things paper

I love to draw and I love to write letters (even though I don't do it enough), so I decided why not make my own stationary?! I started toying around with ideas, designs and sketches a while back and learned how to add pops of color with a couple different programs, most of them were done using GIMP on my MAC (i love my mac!). My mom asked if I would help her with the invitations to my brothers rehersal dinner for his wedding, and I created some invites. From there, the ideas kept coming and I kept creating. I have added a few samples of my work, they can be made into letter heads, invitations, stationary of all sorts really. If you have any questions, or would like a custom design, don't hesitate to ask! Also, visit my etsy shop to view more creations as I come up with them.
