Where do I look? It’s been so long since I’ve done one of these things!  Welcome to 2020! I love newness. I love Mondays. I love new years. I love new months. New shoes. New shirts. Handbags. I may have gotten off track already… . I don’t do resolutions each time the calendar turns over, but I […]

This is it, you guys! We have reached the 2019 Silhouette Cameo Freebies Finale! This Winter and Christmas collection has been kind of emotional for me I love being able to look back though this site and see how much I’ve changed and grown as a Silhouette designer since I started. I love that I […]

If you’re not done with your Christmas crafting, I’ve got a fun, impactful, easy new design for you! If our recent Merry Maker freebie was a little too prissy for what you had in mind, the phrase lends itself to this more playful design, too!     If you’re declaring your own funky side, or […]

Oh my gosh, can you blame me? Is this little guy not the cutest? I can’t decide whether I’m crazier about this ginger or the one from I Love Christmas Carbs this year. They’re both adorable, perfectly different from each other, and bring their own flavors to the table. This one’s more of a ‘ginger baby’ […]

Hey, y’all! If you showed up last week for ‘I Love Christmas Carbs’ this weeks is part deux. I asked on Facebook a little while back which version was preferred- the results were kind of split, so I figured we’d publish both! For this installment I’ve done the work of adjusting the gingerbread man a […]

Hey, Silhouetters! Welcome back for another week of Christmas creations <3 I hope you are all whisked up in holiday cheer!   This is one of my favorite cute Christmas sayings. I think one of the reasons I like it so much is that it represents doers doing, makers making- bakers baking! If you look […]

It’s me, you guys. I’m the merry maker I’m happiest when I’m making! I’m also always trying to make others happy <3  Thus, I am the merry maker! This hand-lettered design would be so cute on a cozy long-sleeved tee or a Christmas apron. I’m scheduling a little bit of time in a couple of […]

Y’all. Where’s the lie, though? It’s the SWEETEST time of the year! I adore gingerbread men. I know I’m not alone in loving their adorable illustrated counterparts, either, as my Gingerbread House design from last year is one of my top downloads for this holiday season, and Gingerbread Man Loose at Christmas* is a favorite […]

Ouuu, I feel GOOD today! When I first received my Surface Pro* the consensus around the internet seemed very clear: you cannot create lovely lettered files with a Surface Pro*. But, y’all, that just makes me want it so much more Creating my own lettered designs in Illustrator has become sort of an addiction! I […]

Why do my designs so often revolve around sugar? What a world where not only does sugar TASTE good (don’t argue), but it is cute as little tiny bunnies. You can’t take away my holiday treats, though. I’m entitled to eat them, and I’m entitled to celebrate them creatively <3 We are definitely looking forward […]

It has been a rough ‘Autumn’ in Salt Lake. So far this year we’ve experienced our second coldest October on record, heavy snow storms, thick fog… . Trick or Treating was confusing- some of us burst into Christmas carols when people opened their doors (me. It was me.). In our particular neighborhood we saw daytime […]

Sleigh bells ring… are you list’ning?  Jingle Bells. Jingle Bells (which I know that first line isn’t part of) was just one of those songs we loved to belt out when I was a kid. The sheer number of parodies speaks for itself- Batman Smells? Ok. Settle down. We all know Batman smells amazing. I even remember […]
