happy friday + our birth announcement... 2 Dec 2011

Happy Friday guys! I'm a bit late on feeling the Christmas spirit {maybe because it was in the mid-70's here in LA this week!}. But I'm slowly, but surely, getting there...putting up the tree this weekend will surely help. I've finally sent out our birth announcement to our friends and family, so now I can share it with you here! We worked with Anna Bond from Rifle Paper Co. for Ruby's birth announcement, and we think it tells the perfect story about our new family. And yes, Ruby is holding a chicken drumstick in the illustration. That makes me laugh every time I see it...can't wait till she's doing silly things like that in real life. Have a great first December weekend, folks! Stay tuned for more gift guides and special giveaways coming throughout the month! — Joy

Ps. Congrats to Hilary D. from Greensboro, NC (#684) for being the winner of our winter "This & That" giveaway. While we normally only have one giveaway per month, for the holiday season, we'll have one each week till Christmas. So stay tuned!

oh joy mailers... 22 Nov 2011

Hey guys, there's a limited number of letter-sized mailers from my Oh Joy home office collection for Chronicle Books left! So here's your last chance to get some before they're gone! I use them to mail documents to clients, letters to friends, and fun oversized flat packages. There are four different designs per package and printed in silver, copper, gold, and white on jumbo kraft envelopes. You can get them for a little while longer right here! — Joy

my many colored days... 12 Sep 2011

With back to school time, thoughts of organization and getting ready for the end of year always come to mind. Simplesong's newest calendar for 2012 is all about color, and I certainly wouldn't mind staring at these while tracking next year's passing of time... — Joy

4ever (and ever)... 14 Jul 2011

With wedding season in full swing, I wanted to share these two new invitations I created for Wedding Paper Divas. Inspired by wood block letters, stamp sets, and punches of color, they're super fun for a summer wedding or the couple that loves to make every day a celebration. Available in a few color ways, warm and cool, the digitally printed pieces come on a gorgeous textured stock. Here, I paired them with some fun striped paper bags. — Joy
