My Dad is turning the big 5-0!

I was mortified to hear that my Mum was going to go to the newsagents and buy some crappy invites for my Dad's 50th. When I lost my shit and told her heck no, she said she didn't want to bother me because I'm so busy. Gotta love 'em. So I've been working on my Dad's invites for his 50th birthday bash.

There's a few things you need to know about my Dad. He has a tonne of tattoos, has a bald head, drives trucks transporting bikes all over the eastern side and rides a black and purple Softail Harley Davidson motorcycle. Now you can check out the invites...

Have emailed them to my Mum for approval and to pass on to Dad. Eeeek! Hope they like them!

Bee Love.

I designed this card for our friends who were getting married. They're super cute and it just kind of matched their style... or her style. Meh, whatever. Still love how it turned out. x

It begins...

As you may or may not know, I have been working my butt off to get my stuff ready to be sold in Mary Ryan's bookstore in New Farm. Well the first order has been shipped and is on the racks now! I'll go and take a photo of the rack on Friday, so I can share it with you! In the meantime, enjoy the fruits of my labor. Eww gross... You can thank SJ for the fruits comment... She's hilarious and gross at the same time. My kind of lady.

These cards are printed on 100% recycled stock and come with a sweet little envelope with guidelines in case you have a little trouble in the 'writing straight' department. x

Super Busy!

Ok.. I've been completely slack when it comes to posting and it's not all due to laziness! I've been super busy putting together my cards to show to one of the owners of a certain franchised bookstore. Super super excited! They've checked out the goods and will be placing an order soon. Will share more when it's all said and done. Seems a little surreal, so need to make sure it's not some whack dream that I still haven't woken from...

As part of my collection, I've been hand making my own paper from tonnes of paper waste from work, my Mum's work, my friends work.... and everyone else I can convince to recycled their paper for me! I've had papercuts up to my elbows, discovered that leaving paper sitting in water for a week is a really bad idea and have had the best fun ever. I've been turning my recycled paper into cards and they look lovely!

I've also been getting a bit of freelance design work, which is also amazing. I'm super tired, crazy busy and have been neglecting fun times with the boy all in the hopes I can eventually create beautiful things from home. Wish me luck!

I'm taking photos of my cards and paper treats to apply to be a part of the Brisbane Young Designers Markets, so I will be sure to share them with you too.
