I have some new items: round and rectangular labels! See info...

Here are some new graphics! Click here to view.

It's that time of year... who's thinking of shopping for Christmas gifts?! My fabulous husband gave me some much needed computer time while he was in charge of the boys. I got my "act" somewhat together, or more so than it's been in the last 3 months. I have lots of new designs, fonts, and items that I am making and selling. Here are a few favorites:

And, my friend Danielle is having a sweet baby girl soon. I have the privilege of creating her announcements. She liked the boy announcement shown below, but wanted a little tropical, girly flair. Obviously, the precious little girl's pictures will be placed later...

Don't forget about self inking stamps for you and your friends and family. I am really enjoying my new family stamp with all our names on it. AND, if you want a lot of note cards, I will create the jpg file for you to order them in bulk from Vistaprint. See Cason's card below.

COLORED loose paper and Note Pads: Blossoms 3 with Name, Daisy Pink, & Giraffe Color

They are HERE! NEW Colored Note pads and holder gift set... Click here for details!

AND...
check out this 2 sided birth announcement... could do PINK, too!

I love creating custom gifts for all your friends and co-workers. Give me a price range, and I will customize some goodies just for you.

Thanks for checking out my blog! You can click on the links above for pricing and ordering information, and you can view samples of some of my creations by clicking the buttons along the sides.

If you are not in my area and want order/shipping instructions, drop me an email. I can work with you to make shopping a breeze! (and affordable!)

Questions? Would you like to order?

I have not been good at posting. Most invitations, announcements, etc. are done "per specification", but I have done a lot this spring that I haven't gotten on the blog. For that matter, I haven't been ON the blog! ha! Here are a few.

Moving Cards...

Birthday....

Children's Birthdays... (I did note pads with the same "horse" theme as party favors for Caleb.)

Save the Date...

New Family Stamp

2010-06-19T20:12:00.000-07:00

Since we are adding a new family member, I needed to revamp our stamp. I personally like having every family member's name on our stamp, but now that we have 5 names, it is a bit tricky. I did like the way mine turned out. You could also do a zebra border or change up the fonts, etc. You could also do a monogram in the middle instead of all the individual names.

2009-10-02T12:55:00.000-07:00

I love labels. I love having pictures of my boys on one; I think it makes giving a gift that much personal to them when they get to put a sticker of them on the gift sack! These are great for party favor bags, envelope seals, gift bags, and more. They do take a little longer: allow at least 4 weeks for delivery.

Enclosures for Gifts

2009-07-26T07:13:00.000-07:00

An enclosure card is a small card that fits into a small envelope. They are perfect for attaching to children's gifts and family gifts, and saves both time and expense of buying standard larger cards!

Self-Inking Stamps

2009-07-22T14:14:00.001-07:00

I can personalize/tweak the designs to create your own, individual stamp.

This stamp is a more tradional twist on the Mono with Overlay, #7. Different letters look better with a different style, font, etc. You can mix/match anything shown to create your own look!

Christmas Stamps-- don't you want your cards and party invitations to have that "added cuteness"? Great gifts, too!

For the discriminating Hog Family....

Self Inking Stamps: Perfect for Correspondence!

Choose a Design choice-- different middle designs and borders available.

Note: you can change fonts to customize your look!

I am very pleased to offer Self Inking Stamps! My introductory price is $39, and turn-around time is about one week. These are perfect for return-addressing all of your correspondence. The actual stamp is about 1 1/2 inch in diameter--not too big, and not too small. I am very pleased with the stamp quality. These are extremely comparable to the more expensive (and more generic!) gift shop variety, but you may customize to your specifications. Examples are shown, but I can certainly design a stamp to your specifications!

Email me your information with your order. Available in Black, Green, Red, Purple, and Blue.

Great for HOLIDAY and NEW BABY correspondence, too!

Flat Note Cards

2009-07-05T13:37:00.000-07:00

Flat Note Cards are great for simple notes.

A guy's version of a note card: simple monogram with address on the bottom

This is an example of an annoucement with multiple photos. Any graphic can be changed to suit your personality.

I have lots of invites on my flikr page; see All Designs to the side and click to view. I'll post new things here, but to keep it "less cluttered", I'm keeping them on flikr. A small sample is still below...

Moving Announcements... and Children's Invitations

Black/White Zebra Invitation

Birth announcements... this may be my favorite thing to make. I make these from "scratch", just for you. Email me for details or ideas.

This announcement is a tent fold. It looks backwards... but the sides fold in and the picture goes in the inside. The baby's 'stats' can go on your picture ( I can do that for you!) and be placed with a coordinating ribbon at the top... If you want something different and unique, we can be creative. Or not. Ha.

We had pictures taken in the fall. This card was Z fold. I saw some in a catalog and decided to experiment. I liked the fact that they fit in a smaller sized envelope.

Give me your event, theme, etc. and I can create proofs for you to view...

About Me/FAQ's

2008-10-14T14:06:00.000-07:00

My name is Becky. I live in Northwest Arkansas. I love Jesus Christ, my family, a nice glass of wine with a dinner prepared by somebody other than myself, and the list goes on... but one thing I love the most is playing with graphics and text to create different personalized gifts. I have enjoyed creating things for my friends and my kids, and since I stay at home with my boys, I have started to do this on a little bigger scale! Especially in the age of technology, a hand-written note will be appreciated for a long while. I like to stay competitive on my prices, and I would love to create something personal for you--if I don't have it, I will try to find it or design it!

Please note: Birth Announcements and Invitations are custom made to make your special event extra special. Please email me your ideas and I will work up a proof for you. There are several posted on Other Stuff and Invitations, but the best way for me to design these is with your information, theme, etc. Creative projects welcome!

Q: Do you print yourself?
A: Yes and no. I print all note cards and many other various things myself, but I currently outsource other large jobs, like custom invitations and note pads.

Q: How long does it take to get something back?
A: I can usually have it to you within one week. Some of the variables that might make a difference are if I'm designing something new, if the item is being outsourced, or if the timing is near a holiday or follows a show I have had. If the item is something I have created before (ie, a design on site) then the turn-around time is usually less.

Q: When do you do this?
A: I love this question! My boys are little, and still at home with me, but they are growing way too fast. I started this little gig a year ago, summer 2008. I started in hopes to have a little something fun to do, and a way to interact with other people. I currently design for friends, friends of friends, and word-of-mouth locally. A lot of my work on the computer is done during nap time or late at night. I am a night owl. This is a de-stresser for me.
