Stelie Designs

from my family to yours... school is out for the rest of the year!  yippee!!  i'll be hangin' with babes doing fun stuff and limiting my & work time.  may you do the same. extra quality time with your loved ones. nothing beats that. wishing you a safe and wonderful holiday!

Layton invitation is a modern tree branch with modern bird houses in bright colors.  Why 3 bird houses?  I chose 3 instead of 2 because...I preferred how it looked and it made me think of the unity candle's symbolism. The coming together of two individuals (2 separate houses) into a shared union (1 house together) Perfect for the playful fun loving couple! As always, I customize colors for free!

Paxton & Avery made gingerbread houses in 1st grade last week. They used gram crackers, frosting & candy built around a milk carton. This was their first time, they were so excited and even more excited I could come help in their classroom.  (something I hope they never outgrow) If you know me, or if you follow my designs, then you know my designs+style are modern+minimalist.  Apparently my kids have the same design style. Avery's masterpiece! Paxton's masterpiece! These beauties traveled from school 3.5 hours to my hometown and another 3.5 hours back home.  They are currently on display in our family room.

Many Boston weddings! This last one is a rehearsal invite for a wedding happening on New Years Eve (I was married on NYE!)  Love how this bride wanted fireworks added.  I'm thinking of adding a new skyline, what would you like to see?

we picked the kids up from school early drove 3.5 hours in the car ate pizza visited 2 "nursery" homes (what paxton calls a nursing home) celebrated one christmas ate cake did some christmas shopping heard some carolers sang christmas songs laughed played cried drove another 3.5 hours in the car wrapped presents went to a birthday party played some more and ate more cake long full weekend.

how those notepads come to be?  After printing, cutting, adding chipboard + blank sheets, I put them into a homemade press my dad built for me. add glue. wait. tear apart. remove blank sheets. package+label. and that is how they come to be!   all done by hand. all done by me. (sometimes packaging by my mom) all time consuming. but so worth the end result.

I drew a little prince to go with the princesses.  This notepad is for a client with 2 daughters + 1 son.  I just love this idea!  What do you think?

today is the last day to order personalized items for a Christmas delivery....check your list quick.

This lucky little girl will be celebrating a huge milestone in Februray ~ her 1st birthday!   Her mommy is totally on the ball and ordered invites in plenty of time to journey to Australia and get thru customs in enough time to send them out.
