Stelie Designs

when will the sun come out so i can take product shots? until then...pics of my kids it is!

 yes. i got it. i got a good photo of all 4 on easter. outside on the most gorgeous day.  a little bit of candid is always priceless. easter was so gorgeous here.  we have been lacking in gorgeous weather. (i even got a slight sunburn) we blew bubbles and played outside. paxton learned to ride a bike, a bike without training wheels.  i was so proud, ecstatic, amazed, when i ran with him, he said let go, i did, and he kept going without me holding on.  then avery decided to do the same.  and she did. losing teeth, tying shoes, reading, riding a 2 wheeled bike. sigh...they are growing up toooooo fast. hope you all had a wonderful weekend too.

very well thank you for asking! meet haven. she's fun. she's simple. she's modern. she's unique. i had this design rolling around in my head and just had to put it on paper. many times text is written horizontal to make a design. but i wanted a more interactive design.  soooo... i let the heart do the talking inviting. even the guests get in on the action. their names become part of the heart. "sharing the love" so to speak. she's available here .

  from my family to yours.  i tried to get a good photo of all 4 kids to give for easter gifts. as you can see, i didn’t quite get one.  {i’m going to try again later today. wish us luck.}

so in this post , i eluded to this happening. here's the full story. this little guy, woke friday night with a fever. by 9:20am saturday my husband was calling 911. whoa.....back up...mr. easton's fever was 100.9-101.3 and didn't stay below 100 for long with motrin. which is odd for him. so jer (my husband) wasn't feeling the best either so we decided he & easton would go to a nearby express care.  while jer was getting everything together, i was sitting on the couch holding easton with his head on my shoulder.  a few minutes after putting his socks on (which he didn't want) jerked & shrieked loudly, i leaned him forward holding him like a baby in my arm when i saw the look of terror in his eyes, which then rolled back into his head, he became very still and started turning blue, jer was near me by now and said "oh my god he's blue and foaming at the mouth, is he breathing" he ran to his phone and called 911. in the back of my head i knew w

you've seen parts before. now here it is in it's entirety. table cards . double sided placecards .  thank you cards . invitations . the entire set of custom wedding items.

 a client wanted the lucy invite. but had a black & white color scheme sooo...  they sent me the above pattern of black & white polka dot and i turned the lucy invite into this along with coordinating thank you cards. lucy in polka dot fun!

friday (my now new day off) our plan was target & ikea! the kids and i got ready and out the door by 7:45am (i was shooting for 7:30 but we couldn't find the little one's shoes, my husband accidentally put them in the too small bin) after buckling in we were on our way to super target for grocery & classmate b-day gift shopping.  arriving at 8:12am while it wasn't busy we were as quick as quick could be.  even took time for a photo of all 4 on the bench by pharmacy {my camera phone is slow. after saying "cheese" for a bit easton ready to be on our way} so quick that is until.....we got to the checkout. the slowest of slow was on deck.  i even helped fill my bags while my little ones who'd been angels were now getting rowdy.  finally able to finish our transaction and load up our frozen/cold items in the cooler, kids buckled & on our way to meet my parents at ikea for breakfast at 9:35am. yummy as usual, fun was had, ran into and chatted a

coordinating thank you cards. the perfect ending to your wedding stationery. i completed these custom thank you cards to go with these invites.

the sun was shining so bright last week, i took photos of current + past projects.  i first shared this schematic design almost 1 year ago!  here it is again... better late than never has been my moto for this one woman show who can barely keep up with all the wonderful business stelie has coming in. now in all it's printed+assembled glory {full set} {front page with their beet root symbol.  they love to cook it + it  resembles a heart} {their story...requirement was to look scattered and crazy, just like their dating life. once a proposal happened life calmed as did the text} {invitation...yes they were acutally married almost 6 months ago} {tear off postcard rsvp. complete with beetroot outlines + fun response options} i had so much fun getting to know this couple and working with them. so wonderful. so special. plus the bride works in tourism + lives in australia + met steve irwin (bindi'sdad) + was working in africa during our design phase...needles

this past weekend, our usual party of 6 was a party of 8! 6 kids...6 and under! we had my nieces (5 & 3) over to play and slumber and play some more. we started by playing inside, then outside, then inside, then make your own pizza's, then play games, then get our jammies on for movie &popcorn time. jer & i actually sat down on the couch for a bit while the kids were watching "beverly hills chiuahua" we looked at each other and said "this is fun" yes, we were having fun! then came snacktime & bedtime for 6. all kids were sleeping by 8:20.  (i cherished this memory because i knew...come monday, i'd be paying for my kid's late night bedtime.  who are usually sleep around 7 and no later then 7:30)  sunday my kids woke same as usual 5am. by 6am my 4 were outside with their flashlights & dad playing with worms which covered our driveway from the rain the night before.  7am my oldest niece was outside with my oldests playing with worms

 wishing you  a hula-hoopin  good weekend! we have a full weekend planned. saturday ~ IKEA for breakfast & shopping (and returns), local easter events, cousins sleepover (call me crazy....we'll have 6 kids under 7!!) sunday ~ jer's mom & grandma are coming for a visit oh and of course play out in this lovely warm weather. (hoping the rain holds off.)

a little something fun i've been working on...

a little something i recently finished. the couples wedding colors printed so fabulously that i'm thinking these could become my standard sample colors instead of the yellow + green.

it’s a mustache kind of morning!
