maybe I should be sleeping

It's NINE O'CLOCK !! CURFEW!! LIGHTS OUT! what movie? well its really 10:00 over here in UT but that quote went thru my mind and that i should really be asleep...yet I am not. I'm a lil excited for a few things down the road....so with popeye on my mind, if you didnt guess it..i thought how cute a illustration of a pig name olive would be..or perhaps another animal..just my creative mind at play...doodling & sketching away. It will be fun to see what comes out friday.

I should be asleep  but after today I want to feel like I got something done or some kind of relaxment (is that a word?). My day has been along one, my adorable almost 1 is, I believe acting like a 2 year old already. Not cool. He is not a 2 year old therefore he should not act like one, right? My son has learned "No", and told me twice NO and it made sense..does he understand the word? I believe he does.

His first birthday is a week away, he is growing so fast! I can't believe I have a one year old.

I am excited for friday..I have a few things to release for FRIDAY RELEASE DAY (i got to think of something cuter to say for friday release day) and we will see if i can wait that long :)

Well, I am going to go hit the matress but excited for the many giveaways coming up on different blogs..Once they are posted I will let you know here so you can have another chance at winning FREE stuff from moi, and possibly finding another awesome blog that you are not part of.

Enjoy your evening and thursday!

Bubble Gum Flying

Hello All, it is another friday..and just less than two weeks when My baby boy, Maximus turns one.
I don't believe how time can go by so fast. He is a darling lil ginger and such a joy...it has truly been the highlight of my life so far, him and his wonderful handsome of man whom we call daddy.

Being a new mom and all and just one year under my belt it is no easy task, some days are really hard and we all need outlets. I love having my art as an outlet and grasping new creative ideas, or doing them better.Well, so for my friday release day, it has been a project I gave to myself to bring back some of the fun in being a kid and some fun dreams or imagination play...I, for one has always wished I could fly high up in the clouds, like those squirrel suits-maybe one day I will try it. I have been skydiving and that is amazing in its own but just to dive and glide...wouldn't that be fun?   Well ok, as I get side tracked again (happens a lot) bringing myself back...so, I love bubble gum and the thought of flying..so why not combine the two ?  here you are... I may change it up but this is what I have and I am liking it a lot. Very fun!

It's Friday!!!Friday Release Day!!!

It is Friday..and we are releasing our Go Bananas Monkey party theme. This is great for Baby shower or baby birthday, especially birthday for twins. It can be girly (hence the bow detail) or just boys or both!

So many cute ideas from the menu to decor.

My Lil Max's 1st Birthday

My lil boy, Max, will be one on Sept 7th. It is his FIRST! So, of course I have been getting so many ideas for his first special day..I am still trying to finalize what I want to do for it.
So, to all you mothers out there..what was your first first babys birthday theme? and what would you recommend or do differently??

These are what I have in mind so far.. DO a green color scheme with accents of blues of an alligator, turtle, and frog OR a train..Max does love choo choo trains..maybe a animal train or circus train?? hmmm so for now that is what i have been playing with. We will see if this is what i do. hehe

So of course we need to do more for our little kids birthday or big kid birthdays and have fun details for them to take home.

Black Tie Affair-Mister FroG

Black Tie Affair- Mister FlamingO

Black Tie Affair

So, I thought it would be fun to do a line of animals with black bow ties...This is my first and also my attempt to get it out of my system since my husband didn't like the idea of bow ties for our wedding. Also being Valentines Day I threw in a heart. :) Happy Valentines Day to my cute boys, my husband Andy and Max, my lil love!! Muah!

January Birthdays

 January is a great month, not only is it MY birthday month but also my nieces, Bekah. So, I made her a birthday card of the cutest cat, she loves kitty cats, and well I fell in love with it too and didn't want to give it to her BUT of course I did, I just made me another one.. As i gave it to her she asked me if it was a "boy" kitty or a "girl" kitty, I told her it can be whatever she would like it to be. and so for a few seconds it was a boy, but it is now a girl.. as for mine..it is a boy kitty and I named him Harper. The card was quite more decorated with a cat bowl with 4 candles in it, and balloons and a lil sign that wished a happy birthday to the birthday girl! :)

Weddings/Bridal Showers

These are a few of the wedding invitations, bridal showers, bachelorette parties I have designed...I will post the others there are so many different styles. So whatever you can imagine I will do :)..oh and the paper choice is just as important..but of course doesnt show up here.

Baby- Just a few baby showers or announcement cards. :)

Some of the fun

These are designs, illustrations from my sketch book that later was turned into lil clip art that is easily used in children rooms, decor, illustration,stationery, cards or for whatever you would want.

Murals! Murals!

I was hired to do this mural with some 2nd graders at Escalante Elementary. They are the "Explorers"..so we thought of different fun locations in the world or the other "worlds" within this world of ours to paint. All of them did an awesome job and so rewarding to work with! Thank you you lil artists!


Koans Mural-
This was another fun mural. I didn't have much of a social single life with working full time, exercising 5 times a week, and this mural..but it was well worth it! It is so fun to show my ideas to clients and then for them to accept and bounce more ideas off of either to create the final result. The job included the mural of a treehouse & animals, bathtime, bowties, and just for kicks (12x12 paintings to go in slots of the book shelf). I love the bow ties added to the animals.

Just some fun Personalized Possibilities

Here are a few designs I did for a friend. Her two boys for their themed birthdays and valentines day to give to class members at school. I must say I like the High School Musical one.

Valentines Day, Birthdays! Oh My!

The Beginning

It is true, I have entered the world of blogging (applause applause)...so we will start at the beginning it's "a very good place to start" so Do-Re-Mi here we go.

I have once heard do what you think about when you wake up and as you retire to bed..this is what you must do as a career/business. It is in you, you are thinking it constantly..do it and love it! So with that said I love design. I think, "eat", sleep design..and all the many attributes, ideas, possibilities that come with this great job of mine.

From Corporate Identity (Logos), Manuals, Ads, New Promos, Mailers, Children Illustration, Murals, Stickers, Bridal Showers, Wedding Invitations, Baby, Holiday Cards, Stickers, Growth Charts, Darling Decor...I enjoy it all! So this blog is to display many great jobs/clients I have designed for..or simply the love of creating my own lil things. If you are interested in a piece or a custom job I would love to do it for you..please contact me. Enjoy!
