Spring canvas sale!

our holiday card!

I can't believe it's been a whole week since I have posted a blog. Sheesh. I have been working really hard to fill holiday demands, so I apologize for neglecting my blog once again. I have so much to share with you -- weddings, seniors, kids, families, and more!

I think everyone has received our holiday card by now, so it should be safe to blog about it.

And, here's a little peek at what I have been up to tonight. Yes, I finally started my holiday baking.


Stay tuned in to the blog because I am posting a blog contest / giveaway very soon!

new goodies

I just love getting good things in the mail! My new business cards arrived today and I am so excited to share them with you! I can't wait to show you how they tie into my new website, which will debut later this fall.

I hope you love them as much as I do!

"Fodge" fine art print

I'm taking Ken's advice and offering the Fodge as a fine art print. For those interested in purchasing a fine art print, shoot me an email. Matted, signed, and numbered prints are available for $25 each now through the end of the month. I'm only making 10, so hurry!


I think it's going to look great on our live what you love shelf!

P.S. Stay tuned for Ellie and Matt's wedding -- coming TOMORROW!!!

I love our gallery wraps!

Sheesh, what is my problem?!?! It looks like I am down to blogging once a week! So...I'm going to take a little poll. Would you rather I attempt blogging every day again or would you rather me blog at a snail's pace? Of course, if you choose to have me blog every day again, there will be a sweet reward for you if I miss a day! Just leave a comment on this post and let me know if I should start a contest for the month of April.

Now, on to the subject line of this post. I absolutely LOVE our gallery wraps!!! Ken and I used Jake Gardner and Justin Axline's images (with permission, of course) and ordered canvases through my canvas vendor. We agonized for weeks over which images to choose and I am so glad we chose the ones we did! I love, love, love them!!!

These canvases are 16x16 squares. Since I'm a big advocate of giving photo credit where photo credit is due, Jake shot the two outer images and Justin shot the middle one.


I love the way these look on the wall!


I love the detail and texture of gallery wraps, but most of all, I love that when Ken and I lie in bed, we can see his Converse. It's perfect!


Every bride and groom should order canvases!!! They are real conversational pieces and everyone will oooh and aaah over them!

old friends

Today I am thankful for the internet and reconnecting with old friends. It made my day to see Brian and Stephanie's e-mail in my inbox today. We were best friends in college but after I moved, lost my cell phone, and got a new number, we all lost touch with each other. Thank you, internet, for reuniting us after all these years. Brian and Steph, you are so dear to me. I have really missed you!!!

Aren't Laura and Victor's cards adorable? This is also the cover image of their storybook album.


Notice the yellow and white? Yep, I shot this photo in our new master bedroom! It's really coming along -- I can't wait to show you the finished room. What do you think of the colors so far?

I love gallery wraps!

Stef is picking up her canvas tomorrow. I know she is super excited so I decided to post some photos here. She ordered a 16x24 black and white metallic gallery wrap. I absolutely love these!!!

The 16x24 is a little too small for this area, but I wanted to emphasize how awesome a black and white canvas looks on a bright colored wall. Clearly Ken and I aren't afraid of color! (I say that, but only one wall in our living room is painted this color. The others are a medium shade of grey.) For those wondering, a 24x36 or three 20x20 squares would have been a perfect fit for this particular space. (It doens't look like it, but our couch is really long.)


I took this photo on a light grey wall in my kitchen to emphasize the wrapped edges.


As you can see, the image extends all the way around the edges of the canvas.


If you have any questions about placing a canvas order, feel free to leave a comment or send me an email. And remember, big canvases are $100 off through March 31!

canvas sale extended!

Since my February canvas sale was such a hit, I'm extending it through March 31! As a refresher, all BIG gallery wrapped canvases are $100 off. That means you can get an awesome piece of custom art for your home starting at $250 (for a 16x24). What a deal!!!

Karen wins!

I asked Ken to draw a number and he chose 7. Karen's comment was the 7th comment on the first dance post, so she wins the iTunes gift card! Karen, send me your address and I'll get this in the mail to you.

Jake, Justin, Ken, and I are working on a fun little project in the next few weeks. Here's a little foreshadowing for you:


I absolutely love this camera. I shot this photo in our bedroom -- there is such great light in there! For those interested in purchasing a fine art print, shoot me an email. Matted and signed prints are available for $25 each now through March 15. The catch? I'm only making 20.

The biggest canvas sale ever!

I am so happy to announce that all BIG gallery wrapped canvases are $100 off now through the end of February.

This means that you can get an awesome piece of custom art for your home starting at $250 (for 16x24).

Wow -- what a deal!!!

thank you cards

I love when my clients order custom thank you cards from me! As you can see, Ellie and Matt had it all planned out -- their thank you signs coordinated with their invitations, programs, and every other graphic element at their wedding. Ellie and Matt went with my 4x6 post card design on a heavy card stock with a satin finish. They can mail these as postcards or enclose them in the provided envelopes. I don't know about you, but I love getting post cards in the mail!



If you'd rather have a folding card, I offer those in sizes 3x5 and 5x7. Just send me an e-mail if you need more details!
