New Digital Prints!

From Mid-February to Mid-March, I took a short break from my Etsy shop to recoup from the holiday rush. I worked on some household projects (aka laundry) and did a bunch of sketching! I added over 40 of the new designs I sketched to my shop last month! 

New Designs and My Inspiration

I have 23 new printable art listings! Yay!

New Things! ...Well, sort of

I ordered some new things this week, and posted some new listings. I also get to check a few things off my shop goals list, yay!

CaiterbugCoast2Coast: What did I do? What did I draw?

Hey Guys! I'm back from my trip!

Gosh. Two weeks is long time to be away from home. At least for me. I love my day-to-day life in Seattle.  I missed my husband, my puppy, my friends, and my business.  However, I did get to see some pretty great people while I was gone, so that made it worthwhile. 

Scripture Prints: Request List

In the near future, I will be going on a 2 week long trip to the East Coast. I am super optimistic that I can use this time away from the shop to my advantage. One of my 2016 goals is to double my inventory of printable art. This means I have about 70 prints to make.  I think this time away (with a lot of plane rides) is the perfect time to get a large chunk of my sketching done.

A Print for Bri

You may have seen my posts on Facebook several weeks ago when I found out my friend Brittany was in a paragliding accident. It happened while she was vacationing in South Africa with her two best friends, Lauren and Ashley. 

Hokusai Reproduction Painting

For those of you that don't know, I went to school for Art Education and Computer Art & Graphics Programming. So while graphic design and digital art are my main loves, my art education training gave an appreciation for other mediums as well. I especially love painting and printmaking. So it is no surprise that this post is about a print I did a painting of. 

Our First Year of Marriage - In Review

Tom and I just celebrated our first anniversary! Can I get a woohoo?

Being a lover of all things crafty, I wanted to make something special to celebrate our first year of marriage. 

Our Wedding Invitations

Greetings! and welcome to my invitation post.

Even before I had any interest in graphic design, I always wanted to make my own wedding invitations. This probably comes from my love of scrapbooking and papercrafts (nerd alert!). Some brides will continue to day-dream about their wedding dress or their bridal jewelry. Me, on the other hand, I still day dream about our invitations.  As you will read, I put way too much thought into every detail, and by end of this post you will be questioning my sanity.  So without further adieu, I invite you to come along on the adventure that is invitations.

Designing a 'Save The Date'

My first wedding post, how exciting. The first of many. 

I did many DIY projects for our wedding, including a lot of crafting and all the printed material. Mainly consisting of the Save  the Dates, Invitations, Menus, Programs, Favors, and probably several other things I cannot think of at the moment. I will try to blog about them in a semi-chronological order. 

Lets Start At The Very Beginning

According to Maria, it is a very good place to start.

For this first post, I want to establish some content you readers can except and what I see for the future of this blog. Disclaimer: I am not a strong writer. However, I love sharing my creative ideas and thoughts with others. After making a move across the country, away from many friends and family, I've found it difficult to find a creative outlet where I can be in community with other people (You can only do so much through FaceBook and Instagram). This blog will be a place of all things creative, and also serve as way for my (oh-so-far-away-and-much-missed) friends and family to keep up with my daily adventures (and Star Wars references). Below are some topics I plan on blogging about:
