lemon drop loves custom orders

The other day I was lucky enough to receive an email from Misty, 1/2 of Simply Squared Designs, a wonderful husband and wife business making the COOLEST frames ever! Misty requested 500 scalloped paper circles to use as price tags for her frames, and of course I jumped at the chance to be involved with this amazing business, even if I just make the little 'ol tags, I wanted to be a part, because darn it, the frames are amazing, and they are just so nice!


So, 500 punches later, these are Misty and Donnie's new tags for their frames! Thank you so much for the order, Misty and Donnie! I look forward to working with you guys more, and I look forward to hanging a few of your frames in my home!


I am always, always happy to do custom orders, so please contact me if are dreaming up something fun! (and yes, to me, punching out 500 scallops was fun. is that weird?!)

Custom Order for Michelle

I just finished a custom order for my dear Aunt Michelle. She wanted 3 sets of 6 cards to give away as presents to her neighbors (lucky neighbors), and told me she wanted each set to have 2 thank you cards, 2 birthday cards and 2 blank/generic cards, and then the rest was up to me. I made all 3 sets almost the same, so here is one of the sets...


Thank you, Aunt Michelle, for your custom order! Here they are all gift wrapped and ready to be gifted away! Thanks again!!

Dominique's Cards

I finished up Dominique's card order yesterday and am getting ready to package it up and mail it out today - but wanted to share some pictures of the cards first. Dominique requested 3 birthday cards, 3 thank you cards and 12 Christmas cards. I did 5 different designs for the Christmas cards - fun, fun! I ordered the stamps from my new favorite place, Peachy Cheap. Love it!

Enjoy your cards, Dom, and THANK YOU!

Styledbaby's Cards

I feel so blessed - I am lucky enough to be the one who gets to design and make the cards for Styledbaby Boutique, Cafe + Playhouse. It's a privilege to work with Delia to create fun and classy cards for her business so she can send them out to customers and clients. Here is a little sample of what I've been working on for Delia.


Thanks so much for the opportunity, Delia. And for those of you who are up here near Portland - hop on over to Styledbaby, located in Historic Downtown Hillsboro - you'll be glad you did.

whimsical and fun - just as life should be

Hi Friends!

I just finished a custom card order for my sweet sister Summer and wanted to share them on the blog. I am really diggin' the fun colors and the carefree feel these cards give off. I had a BLAST doing these cards. Thank you for the order, Summer, you're the greatest. The pink sock monkeys are by far my favorite. Finding that paper was like finding a nugget of awesomeness at JoAnns. I am sure that I did cartwheels and backflips all the way to the cash registers, perhaps only in my mind, but I did them.

Enjoy the cards! I have some paper left if anyone is interested...

Dominique's Order!!

Just finished a card order for the lovely Dominique, whom I have known since high school, and also haven't seen since high school! Here are your cards, Dom. I hope you love them! I will send them to you soon!!

If anyone else likes any of these cards, I have more paper left, so let me know before it's gone!! I may use some of it for some etsy items, so keep those eyes open.

Don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY drawing!! See the post right under this one!!
