DESIGN :: Watercolor & Hand lettering

     

Hello there!

I have been so busy these last couple weeks that I feel like I haven't had much time to blog and talk with all of you. However I wanted to pop in and share a couple peeks at to what I am currently doing as far as custom work and to let you know that you may be seeing some new items hitting the shop soon. ;)

Some of my favorites lately . . . 

a hand lettered design from a very catchy song . . . . ;)

I am pretty sure I have to make this into a print ;)

 . . . this hand lettered print will be in the shop soon. 

Great for anyone getting married soon or a bridal shower, can be adjusted to say "soon to be, mrs." instead. Imagine this on a banner, art print or sign.

 

Speaking of getting married and brides . . . I can't wait to show you how this gold hand lettered burlap decor item ends up. ;)

 

ohhhhhh and this, a watercolor design is for a very special bridal shower.

 and one more peek . . . . this hand lettered piece will be in the shop soon as an art print!

WEDDING :: Peach, Mint & Gold Inspiration Board

Hello everyone & welcome to "Wedding Wednesday"!

::  drink  :: straws  ::  dress  ::  garland  ::  ring  ::  favor  

::  love is sweet sign  ::    macarons  ::  bouquet  ::

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

For this week we are talking about a really popular color scheme right now: peach, mint & gold! These colors paired up together, can look rich when you add the gold in the mix or use it in a rustic setting with a little burlap and it still looks fab! So many great options using this color palette!

  Drinks are such a must to have at your parties. Especially if you give your drink of choice a fun name and make it a signature drink for the event. A peach flavored drink would be a great choice with these colors. An easy decor option is making sure to have colorful straws on hand for those drinks, of course in your signature event colors! This amazing cocktail dress could be worn to an event, as a guest or it would make an amazing bridesmaid dress whether paired with some fab heels or even some cowboy boots! If you are looking for inexpensive decor items that pack a punch, these sewn circle buntings are fairly easy to make if you are feeling crafty. Use a circle punch in coordinating paper, punch & sew together or string them to add a bit of whimsy to your event. Accents of rose gold are the perfect metal for a matching piece of jewelry whether for the bride or in a fun piece of jewelry to give to the bridesmaids. Shall we talk sweets? . . . I am loving these peach marshmallows that are in a knot to give to your guests as a wedding favor. And what about these macarons? These look amazing. Regardless of what you serve for dessert, having a coordinating hand lettered sign is the perfect accent to your table of desserts. The bouquet is key to coordinate with your wedding colors. Make sure to choose blooms that are the style you are going for. More expensive blooms are great for a more traditional wedding but wildflowers wrapped in some burlap would be great for a rustic wedding.

 

 

 
Have you ever been to a wedding where they used peach and mint with accents of gold? Did YOU have one or are you planning one? What was your favorite element of the event?  I would LOVE to hear the details . . .spill below ;)

CRAFT :: Summer Yarn Wreath

Hey there everyone!

I have a thing with making wreaths (apparently) and wanted to share with you the latest one I made for our front door. I needed to make a new wreath to match my new "Patio Makeover" and this yarn I purchased awhile back, reminded my of summertime in a pool when I saw it. So I decided it matched close enough with the new color scheme I had going on outside with the patio (navy, turquoise blues and white), so a wreath was in the makin! ;)

I have shared with you recently how to make this type of yarn wreath when I created one for my daughters Rainbow Loom party, so if you need better instructions, make sure to check this post out to see more details.

You just need to grab a few supplies: a letterboard wreath shape, some yarn, fabric glue or hot glue gun, ribbon, embellishments and scissors.




The first step is to start by gluing the yarn at your starting point. I would glue it down on the back and start wrapping around the wreath form.

 

Just keep wrapping and wrapping and wrapping . . . all while wrapping the yarn tight together, side-by-side . . . then glue your last strand of yarn down to secure. Cut a piece of ribbon to hang up your wreath & attach.

 

Next step is to add the embellishments that you chose to adhere to the wreath, I decided to make a couple flower embellishments to add to mine & a tiny feather but feel free to use what you want.

 
I love making this wreath as it is soooooo easy & quick so you can change out your door wreaths ALL the time. If you want. ;)
 

Has anyone out there made their own yet? Raise your hand . . . please let me know below if you think you will try this project as I would love to know if anyone was inspired. Let me know by commenting below . . . .
