just a little

So, with Father's Day right around the corner, I thought I should make a little freebie up.  I decided to do seahorses just for the simple fact that a male seahorse is the "the only animal in which the male has babies!"  The female seahorse deposits the eggs into the male's sac, and leaves... Pretty cool fact if you didn't know it already.  

Funny, my littlest J. has a thing for seahorses! In fact, I am getting one soon ... as part of my 1/4 sleeve.

Included in this mini freebie set are files for a mini patterned banner, 5" circles for a "Happy Dad's Day" banner, 2-5" decor circles, 3-2" decor circles, treat labels and water labels.  If you use these at all, I would love to see pictures! 

Anyway, in honor of all the kick ass dad's out there, enjoy this freebie! 

(to download, simply click the picture below, and you will redirected to a download site.  You will need adobe acrobat reader to use these files)

its about time for an

So, that is what I went and did! Have you heard of Etsy? Really, if your answer is no, I would recommended that you go and get another cup of coffee, cause it will draw you in.  Etsy is THE place for handmade goody goodness and vintage love that you might ever need... 

In addition to my love for photography, I also love creating and designing.  In the past, I have made custom logos, banners, buttons, business cards, etc. for some friends and clients... 

I can also make printables and cards, custom invites, and the such... Just thought I would officially announce my shop opening!

Here is my banner, made to match my blog... go ahead, click on it and visit my shop... I only have one listing up now, but feel free to check back for more, or convo me for a custom design!

Thanks for stopping by!!

featuring...

I am so excited to feature Stella B on the blog today! Her work is seriously DROOL worthy... I got mail from her and was just super wanting to take that picture NOW because I knew how cute it would be.  I am so in love with this little sock monkey hat that if I could fit my fat head into it, I would try to rock it.  Uhm, yea, cause that is just how I roll! 

Ok- you still with me? Is it not just the cutest?? Its so much better on....

wait for it... wait for it... 

Yea! That's what I am taking about! 

I think my model, little Ms. K agrees... this is a winning combo! Perfect pair in the sock monkey hat from Stella B.  and super full and fun pink on pink tutu from Sweet Things Kids (you remember her... she's got a HUGE spring fashion show coming up! That's a whole other post, though!)

Special thanks to my model and her parents! Your cooperation and little Miss made my day! <3

well not so much, but

It is KIND of Eastery.  I am not a super duper fan of lilac and pink, or really pastels of any sort... So I thought there might be a few out there that are just like that... Alternative Easter.  Just click on the link to download, and share with your friends.  I would love to see what you have done with them, if you end up using them this year.

These are the two inch toppers.  Have you seen all the great ways to use these? Cupcake picks, tied on goody bags, stickers, etc... anyway, these aren't your typical Easter Bunny decor, but I personally think they are adorable! 

I also made a banner to go with it, just a mini one, and then also on the same page a mini cake banner... 

I would love to expand this set.. what else would be helpful, or just super cute? I was thinking maybe cupcake wrappers... anyway, let me know, and I hope you share the love {ahem, my blog <3} with many.  Till next time... 

{xoxo}
