Black and White...


...and cute all over!
I love, love, love the black and white polka dots with the hot pink. It is just perfect for a trendy young lady in her new room. McKayla Todd wanted this one to coordinate with the aqua and lavender canvases she already had to create a grouping.

Has four days really passed since I last posted? I know its been a busy few days, but wow! Where did the week go?

Karen's Office


Tiffany Gannon ordered a sign as a gift for a friend to hang on her office door. She requested fall colors with sage green. I know it is a little hard to tell, but the background is tan and cream. The lettering is chocolate brown and all of the "trimmings" are sage, burnt orange, and shades of brown. Theis one is also lightly coated with gold shimmer. I love these colors!

Gingerbread


Gingerbread men are my favorite type of holiday decoration. I use them throughout my home along with red and white gingham and candy. I did this family a while back and it is just so cute that I had to share it again.



This is one that I just delivered to Resha Self. It has a cream and taupe background with burgundy lettering. The earth tones go well with the chocolate brown gingerbread man.

Oh, So Pretty!


There's just not a better word for this one than pretty. The colors are pretty. The font is pretty. The black and white swirls are pretty. The ribbon is pretty. A pretty person even ordered it!
Thank you, Callie Durham, for thinking of me when you needed a gift for a friend. She says this is for a young lady and her first apartment. How exciting! I remember those times and would have loved one of these. My walls were kind of bare, but I loved that first little place. Mmmm...good times!

Old Dog...New Tricks


I've been busy, busy with family canvases. These are by far my most popular design.


I think they are so popular because they are so versatile. They look fantastic in any font and color combination. They also make such good gifts, whether it be for Christmas, an anniversary, or a wedding.


I love the new cursive font. That "H" on the Harvey one is my new favorite letter! Newly engaged Nicole was my giveaway winner and she chose the pale blue with taupe and cream. What a pretty combination!


And now...my absolute new favorite! Angela Cargile (who started this whole thing!) ordered this one as a gift for a friend. When she sent me this font idea, I honestly did not think it was going to work. I am so glad I listened to her and tried it anyway. I love the simplicity of the font and the way the name and date are off centered. I did that on purpose!
Just goes to show you that you can take any design and make it fresh. Make it your own!

Ambition


What do you want to be when you grow up? I always wanted to be an artist. I did have a brief ballerina phase. Carter wants to play professional sports. Which sport changes almost daily. This week it is baseball! Between meeting Jamie Walker and the World Series going on, the baseball fantasies are flying.
Kandice wanted something to hang in her sewing room to inspire her during those hard times. I love Project Runway and find it inspirational as well. Those people are so talented and creative. I appreciate anyone who can sew. That is one talent I just don't have!
