Every once in a while, I get an order for a birth announcement in my shop and I gasp when I see the photo. Man, babies are CUTE. And I love seeing the talent of newborn photographers. This was the case with sweet little Giuliana’s photo. Her mom chose my “Hello World” birth announcement, which…
Many of the items I sell in my shop are templates that I don’t change up that much from order to order, but occasionally I get a client asking me to customize something to fit their needs. I recently had a new mommy ask me to modify my “Introducing” birth announcement to work for her twin…
I’m trying not to have a panic attack. But honestly, how is it already May?!? I swear 2017 just started, didn’t it? Although I can’t even remember what my resolutions were… did I have any? Anyway, I digress. Mother’s Day will be here before we know it, so it’s probably a good time to start…
Christmas always brings its gift-buying challenges. Like what to buy for the lady who sits in the cubicle next to you that you chat with about your respective dogs, but you can’t remember her husband’s name (although, you do know her dog’s name).

The snow hasn’t started falling – in fact we’re still dealing with 80 degree temperatures here in Denver (which is just wrong, by the way) – but I’ve had Christmas on the brain for a few months now. That’s the beauty of selling Christmas cards; you start working on them in July so it’s all…
I am so excited to share my latest project and the newest addition to my Nuts & Bolts Paper Co. line! For a while now, I’ve been working on a School Years Memory Book that would be the perfect keepsake for both parents and kids. Because I (like many moms, I’m sure) am always wondering…
This weekend we had quite the raging party. It was superhero-palooza as we celebrated birthdays for my now four and two year old boys (insert ugly cry here). [ Invite: Nuts & Bolts Paper Co ] In the midst of party decor and food planning, I got the idea to create some popcorn cones that tied…
I can title this post as such because I consider myself to be one of those “lazy people” – particularly when it comes to memory keeping. I feel the draw to hold onto and preserve memories just as much as the next mom, but quite frankly I think our generation is putting WAY too much pressure on…
I’ve been trying to convince my daughter to do an art party for a couple of years now. She has always loved crafting (she is mine, after all), but up until this year she was too into princesses and mermaids to want to have an art party (view past birthdays parties here). I guess 6…
Three words: FREE Christmas Card. It’s true, Christmas is steadily approaching and I bet you’ve got Christmas card prep on the brain. I’d like to help ease the pressure by giving you a free digital Christmas card from my shop! Here’s the deal: I am looking for some dedicated readers who are active on social…
