Memoir Art Cards are available in sets and individually.  
Each card comes with a 100% recycled brown kraft envelope and 1" envelope seal.





true love


I was so honored when my friends, Kelli and Jeremiah, asked me to make their wedding invitations.  Jeremiah and I have been friends for about fifteen years.  He's incredibly genuine and one of my favorite people.  I remember the day he introduced me to his girlfriend, Kelli.  I liked her instantly.  Over the past couple years, it's been beautiful to witness how much they love and respect each other.  Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity to contribute to their big day.


Kelli and Jeremiah wanted the invitations to be clean and simple.  Some friends of mine let me to use their studio to screen print the invitations and RSVP cards.  I sewed piano roll paper heart cutouts and sheet music dots onto the invites.  I also stitched the flap of the envelopes to add a lil something special.  I love how they came together.  And more importantly, they loved them!


Also, I made hand bound 2" notebooks for the wedding guests.  The covers matched the invitations.  The pages were made from sheet music, maps, ledger paper and dictionary pages.


Congratulations, Kelli and Jeremiah!


Drop me a line if you're interested in custom invitations and/or party favors.

new: screen printed stationery


I'm now offering screen printed stationery in my shop!


The Hello design is also available in postcard form.

My Five Senses Postcards are now screen printed too!

I'm digging the new distressed look.

What do you guys think?

new stationery sets


I made these cards and envelopes from a book on sailing published in 1977.  This might be the last set I make using this book.  I've pretty much gutted it.  


I love all these shades of blue!  The cutouts really pop on the white card stock.  As always, this set comes with white address labels in 2 1/2" circles to match the cutouts.


Both of these sets are now available in my shop.

studio corner


My studio is basically a card table in the corner of my living room.   I try to utilize every bit of space.  I'm thinking about installing a couple shelves to hold all my bits of inspiration.  My knick knacks are starting to take over my work surface.  My newest tchochke is a brown owl business card holder, pictured below.  I can't wait to use him as part of my display at craft shows!

My little owl needs a name.  Any suggestions?
I can never have enough pairs of scissors.
My mom made that hanging tag for me.  I love it.

opportunity


Last week I received an email from Karen Kimmel's art studio about a unique opportunity.  Karen is a conceptual artist who recently developed Kimmel Kids, a line of nature-inspired educational tools that encourage parents to spend time getting creative with their kids.  Karen's latest venture is a crafty weekend retreat for families called Crafting Community.

So, apparently Karen was in Oregon a few weeks ago.  She happened to pop into a shop and purchase one of my notebooks.  A Kimmel Kids associate contacted me with an offer to assist with the pen pal workshop at the crafting weekend, by contributing found paper for making envelopes and letter-writing.  I was also asked to donate my 4" notebooks to be included in totes given to each family.  Needless to say I jumped at the chance to be a part of this eco crafting event.

I spent the next few days cranking out notebook after notebook.

Yesterday I shipped the paper and notebooks to LA.  
I hope the event is a great success!

PS: 4" notebooks are available for purchase in my shop.

stationery in action


Last week I mentioned a birthday gift I made for a friend that inspired my new packets.   Her name is Shannon, but I call her dirtbike.  We met in art school in Oakland and immediately hit it off.  We bonded over our mutual love of weaving and dyeing. 
I was a couple weeks late in sending her a birthday present.  So, I made her lots of little gifts to make up for the tardiness.  She was kind enough to share pictures she shot as she opened each lil packet.

 I made the tiny notebook into an altered book.
I made this mini 2" notebook into a birthday card.

 

Thanks for sharing your pictures with me, dirtbike!  
Love you, girl.

new: upcycled mini packets

 I'm happy to introduce a brand new product, Upcycled Mini Packets.  

Recently I was putting together a birthday present for a friend of mine.  I made her lots of tiny gifts and packaged them in packets of all different shapes and sizes.  I had so much fun making the packets.   I decided to make some for my shop


All of these designs are available in my etsy shop.
