Hey look at what I just found! An old painting I did for my momma!

little elves.

I love getting christmas cards. Seriously. I actually like any kind of snail mail! I still send birthday cards to everyone in my family! Now thats dedication!

Anyhow, I like to make personalized christmas cards. This year I wanted one that reflected my boyfriend an I as a holiday symbol -Old Elves! Enjoy!

invites

I really like to make invites! Here are some (older) ones I made for my sisters! Two totally different style but I love them both!

business cards!

Here are a few options I did for a friends business card. He already had the singular "e" as his logo so I just designed a few options that complimented the clean streamlined character. In a couple options I updated his logo by creating a circle shape around it. This way when he applies it to other materials it can stand out on its own and hold some visual ground.

back on my feet illustrations

I recently designed/illustrated a few recipes for a muffin cookbook that will be sold to help out Back on My Feet (http://boston.backonmyfeet.org/boston-landing.html), a local Boston charity.

Bakers donated their recipes and artist donated their skills. It's going to be a pretty awesome book! Stay tuned for when it becomes available for purchase.

The first design, I drew and cut EVERYTHING out of paper and then scanned it in. It was so much fun! The second design was done completely on the computer. Not my style typically but we needed something with a punch of color to go in the book.

Enjoy!

nyc holiday window displays

Here I am looking through some old photos and I came across last years NYC holiday window displays. It was such an inspiring trip and they were so elaborate and detailed! I wonder how this year will top it! Can't wait to see...

beautiful little tiny door

look at this beautiful doorway I found during my trip to Colorado! Even though its boarded up I think it has such a charm.

for the love of georgetown, colorado

In a not so recent trip I took to Denver to visit my bestest friend dani, we took a road trip through the mountains of Colorado! We passed through many little mining towns and just enjoyed the scenery and good conversation. This little town of Georgetown was soo cute. Nestled right into the mountain, it was full of old historic buildings. It was such a beautifully cold day. Here are a few photos that I love!
