Favorite Color

The funny story behind my obsession with green is that when I was little... all the other little girls thought I must be strange... because my favorite color wasn't pink or purple. I loved green - kelly green, please. I remember my mom made a chair/back cover thing that held my supplies behind my chair in kindergarten - it was green, probably the only one in the room that was green, but I loved it.

Green will always be my #1, but lately, I have developed a huge fascination with YELLOW. Golden yellow, yumm. So today, I've been designing a few save the dates and trying to get some photos taken of my products to send off to Hi Design House (who's working on the new website!) I designed this really cute save the date, more photos to come - and hopped over to Hello Lucky! when I heard they have a new designer working for them - Joel Dewberry (a fabric designer whose style is Eclectic Modern - I love that phrase!)

They have also been using a lot of yellow as of late (well, by as of late, I mean, since I've been stalking their blog - I LOVE their designs). Check out this styleboard - I love the vintage feel and splash of yellow throughout.

Hello Cupcake!

I just love these cupcakes from Hello Cupcake! Hostess with the Mostess posted them a few days ago. They have a website and also a book available on Amazon about these adorable cupcakes with the cutest detailing. I, personally LOVE the dogs. They are precious!

PAPER & ENVELOPES :: MATCHING LOT FOR SALE

UPDATED 3.1.10

During my year of figuring out what Emily Ley Paper is all about - I researched day and night - scoured through over 30 swatch books and finally purchased a huge lot of paper and envelopes. It's very, very similar to Classic Crest - and is a complete matching set - absolutely gorgeous and very high quality. Everything has a "vellum" texture (not smooth, not textured, but soft). The entire lot is for sale for $1,500 + shipping (paid MUCH more, but need to make room for new letterpress stock), but I am willing to break it up. Thanks for looking!
