I started listing holiday photo cards!  The Penguin family is available in digital here . or printed double sided flat cards available here . check out more photo cards available here .  arriving daily.

it's friday! last weekend we decided to head to sioux falls (my home town) while there we visited a local pumpkin patch/apple orchard which was having a family fun weekend.  pony rides, chickens to see, goats & sheep to feed & pet. such a fun time (except for easton's cough!) we also celebrated my grandma's 91st b-day early we had a great time, even though, we all thought she was off. instincts were correct, she ended up in the hospital late that night.  after having TIA or mini-stroke & is doing well and still in the hospital until she regains some of the left side eye, arm & hand movements.  thankfully, a very healthy woman all her life with the exception of a stroke in 2004 where the doctors didn't think she was going to make it.  not only did she make it but she still lives independently.  the kids were off school this whole week.  i had so many fun things planned. we haven't done any of them. easton has bronchitis, pa...

notepads make great gifts.  great stocking stuffers.   great for the person who has everything.   great for the hard to buy. while some of the actual designs aren't new, they are new to notepads. you can find notepads here . if the design isn't listed in my shop and you want it, email steliedesigns@yahoo.com and i'll list it right away.

showing more photo holiday card designs today.    [this design is offered in 4 different color ways] [4 color options]  if you follow me on facebook (if not you should) then you have already seen these.  my fab 4 had pictures taken by the oh so talented teresa hermes of teresa hermes photography.  i used a few of the pics she posted on her fb page to show a few of my own holiday card options. here they are...

one of my past clients is hosting a baby shower and asked if i would do the invites.  of course.  since the baby of honor's middle name is to be soleil (meaning sun) she wanted it designed around that + the colors of the sunset.  a little ray of sunshine love! exactly what these parents will receive when Olivia is born. i've said it before & i'll say it again! i am always honored when clients return. it is a BIG ray of sunshine to me.  it means they are happy with my products and happy with the service i provide.  thank you! thank you! thank you!

a peak at the 2011 Stelie Designs Holiday Photo Card collection what do you think so far? will be available in my shop soon.  if you find one you'd like to order sooner, email steliedesigns@yahoo.com .

a little quinn goodness was the invite of choice for this couple.   we tried adding more yellow, less gray. but in the end the original colors won out. you never know unless you try! not to mention how fantastically ahead of the game they are! 

i've basically abandoned this little blog the last month or so.  why? you ask. oh you didn't, well i'll tell you what's up anyway. 1. since my older kids started 1st grade, every day, all day, 5 days a week. it's quite time consuming & am hoping to get into a better routine before the year is over. it entails reading every night, reading every morning, practice spelling words every morning, etc. etc. (way too much busy work for me, but that's a whole 'nother story.) 2. on the days my mom is here, i used to get into my office 8ish, now it's after 9 since i see my kids off on the bus. 3. i'm actually doing a full holiday launch instead of a little here and there, like in previous years. including digital photo cards + return address labels.  the launch is starting this week. 4.  i've been working on new stationery + notepad designs for this holiday season as well.  5. my 2 year olds are at the high maintenance stage.  if you have or had a two ...
