LOL!

Have you heard of the lovely-ness of Pinterest? Its a seriously amazing site full of really great ideas.  Its a virtual pin board site, teeming with ideas... I lovvvve it!! I came across this little sign (the words) the other day, that just made me laugh... so I made one up to share with all of you.  Its in a 4x6 format, perfect for a desktop!

Get it? I love it... and yea, I may be easily amused... 

Anyway, I would love to stay and chat... but... (you guessed it...)

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!

You know I have never been the kind of girl who is into fairy tales and princesses... The Royal Wedding (my apologies Harry and... uhm..I want to say Camille, but I am sure that isn't right... what IS her name?... anyway, my point is to apologize, I mean no disrespect)...BUT, I honestly could give two shakes about the Royal Wedding... is that bad? Un-American? I am sure some of you might feel the same way... ;) In saying I don't give two shakes, please know that it doesn't mean that I won't at least check out highlights and previews..... and enjoy a bit of history in the making...

Unlike myself, my {sweet} friend, Nicole is the EXACT opposite...! We chatted for a bit last night, and last I heard she was making muffins for a 3AM viewing party! (Hope you had fun, girl!) A few days ago, Nicole came up with the idea of having a royally inspired shoot... Using the adorable free printables from the TomKat Studio, and supplemented with a few designs from yours truly, Nicole designed an adorable tablescape fit for her princess and my prince.  

If you are thinking about having a little royal fun yourself, please feel free to click the image below to download my contribution in PDF format... 

And, if you are here just for the pictures (like me!), well then here we go... 

They say you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince charming... 

I love this addition to the tablescape, its so fitting! I am totally going to have this one printed and frame it for my daughter's nightstand.  

I only have a small peek of our royal table... 

Super cute cupcake toppers, right?? (Don't forget to click over to the TomKat Studio to grab yours... don't say I didn't warn you, almost eeevvveerrryyything there is super TO DIE FOR... )

The {sweet} couple

L-O-V-E

 For more {sweet} details, or to order your own beautiful little bride a dress fairy tales are made from, be sure to visit Nicole's blog and shop!

This shoot is what 'Ella B is about... what I am about... It all starts with an idea.  I love brainstorming.  Special thanks to Nicole for having me out again, I always love working with you. 

Happy weekend!

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!!

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}

The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is to giveaway printables loud and clear!

Ok, so probably the BEST Christmas movie ever!! I love Elf! Will Ferrell is hilarious! Anyway, as the season gets closer and closer, I find myself struggling a little bit to get into the spirit this year.  I thought that maybe if I spent some time creating a fun retro and free {mini}printable set AND share it with all of you, that maybe I could jump start the spirit.

Inspired by vintage retro-ness (It’s a new word, just go with it!) The set includes 5” circles to make a banner saying “Merry Christmas”, 4 different 2” cupcake circles.  I have created a few different elements to go with it, so I am not done designing the rest… Anything you would love to see? Inspire me.  I am thinking of making a Christmas card that you add your picture to… or maybe to and from gift tags? What are your ideas?

Anyway, click on the pictures below and grab them now while they last! Thanks for stopping by and have a rad day!
