Fun Gift: Calligraphed Book Cover

My brilliant sister, Libby thought up this adorable idea. Why not add a little flare and keepsake value to your next gift? Get an awesome book that relates to the person you're gifting to and then put a fun calligraphed inscription inside! Here are a few examples of wedding gifts that Libby and I have put together:


The book I wrote in for this one was "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein... always a lovely choice. Such a special story.


The book for this inscription was "This is San Francisco" by M. Sasek. This book and the all others by this author/illustrator are ADORABLE. Excellent book choices. Unfortunately I took this picture with my not-so-great camera in very low light so it's a bit blurry but you get the idea.

TEE SHIRT PROJECT: Capitol "G"



I don't know why but this letter took me FOREVER. I am so relieved that I get to move on to letter H!

Hand Lettered Congrats



I made this card to go along with a wedding shower gift for my wonderful friend, Natalie Stubbs... soon to be Natalie Kreek! It was such a joy to work on knowing that it was for such a special occasion. Congratulations Nat!

TEE SHIRT PROJECT: Capitol "D"



Here's capital "D". For this letter I decided to use some of the inspiration from nature that I find on my daily walks. I'm going to try to knock out "E" tonight as well so I'm off to work on it!

TEE SHIRT PROJECT: Least Like a Wolf

This is one of the more comedic t-shirt designs that we'll be offering... The concept behind this shirt comes from Michael's side of the family. They have a bit of an obsession with pitiful little dogs (and now I do too!) and having had 3 chihuahuas in their family, many funny little doggy jokes have come up. One of those being that those poor little things are the one breed of canine that is "Least Like a Wolf".

Hence, this design:



P.S. Notice the tooth?
