Totally inspired by Ma + Chr

An art and design studio based in Paris focusing on many areas, from web to print, interior design & textile.

Here is my Ma + Chr inspired photograph of the day. Taken a few hours ago at the beach. Yes, it’s January 3rd and warm enough for my 4 month old to wear a swimsuit and dip her toes in the ocean for the first time. I love San Diego!

HOLIDAY TRUNK SHOW

kelli — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 07:54:16 +0000

On Saturday I took part in the Santaluz Holiday Trunk Show. I love small, crafty events like this. About 25 vendors set up shop in a big white tent filled with twinkling lights, evergreen and christmas carols. Catered with bite sized holiday treats and hot cocoa. It made me happy to say the least. Especially because I had the company of my husband and baby! It was Rylee’s first art show experience, and I think I’ve realized I need to bring her to every show I have! That girl is the main attraction everywhere I go….and not to mention, quite the sales woman! haha. She sure knows how to draw in the crowd. I didn’t realize until looking at these photos that Rylee’s hat totally matches my “fox girl” print. How fitting. Anyway….if you are still doing your Christmas shopping (or haven’t yet started, like me!)….take a peek at my ETSY SHOP over the weekend. I will be posting a handful of new paper prints (some of which you see in these photos) over the next few days. I know I am a little late in the game, but not TOO late right?! If you order in the next few weeks….i’ll make sure to get it to you in time for Christmas!

Amy Grant is playing as we speak! Ohhh I just can’t get enough of Christmas….

HAPPY THANKSGIVING – SALE + GIVEAWAY!!

Soooo it’s Thanksgiving!!! And you know what that means….Christmas is coming! Ha! But really, isn’t that what we are all thinking!? Time to bust out the decorations and deck the halls! But first things first. Today we are reminded to GIVE THANKS and to reflect on all the good and wonderful things in our lives. I have SO much to be thankful for. This year has definitely been a year of change for Sam and I, complete with it’s up’s and downs. Most of my year I realize was spent growing a baby! That alone had it’s up’s and down’s! But that little girl has got to be the biggest blessing yet. I thank God for her every day. We have a lot of family in town with us right now, so tomorrow will be a pretty special day. I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, surrounded by the people you love. AND FOR THE GOOD STUFF :

I designed these winter inspired greeting cards late last year in hopes of being able to sell them in time for Christmas. Unfortunately, I was a bit late in my completing them, so I’ve got a shelf stacked with these Assorted Winter Card Box Set’s just waiting for someone like YOU! I happen to think they are still just as cute as they were last year. haha. Today through Sunday, November 27th, I am offering 25% off the set, which includes 8 assorted cards + envelopes. They are blank inside, so if you don’t happen to use them all for Christmas, you can always extend them for other occasions! If you buy 2 or more box set’s….you will receive a free magnet! Just enter the coupon code “Winter” at checkout to receive the 25% off.

And in the “spirit of giving”…..a GIVEAWAY! So this little print is not even available on my ETSY shop yet, but it will be very soon. Whoever win’s this will have the very first one. I am in the process of making several more paper prints available in my SHOP, so stay tuned for that! I am kind of excited about having more options for people to choose from! This one is fittingly titled “Hello Dear”. It is a 12″X12″ print of one of my original works painted on wood, and it could be yours. This giveaway will last through Thursday, Dec. 1st.

Today I am inspired by the artwork of HOLLI

If you are any fan of ETSY, I am sure you have stumbled across her work. Not only does she create these beautiful watercolor illustrations, but she also makes paintings, dolls and stationary.

Sweet, soft, and innocent….quite fitting for a nursery don’t you think!?

Last month I was honored to be featured in the Autumn Issue of ARTFUL BLOGGING MAGAZINE by Stampington & Company. It’s an inspiring mag that showcases various art blogs from across the internet. It’s chalk full of creative ideas and inspiring stories….and when I was asked to be a part of it….I was more than excited! Thanks to everyone who saw the write up and sent emails of encouragement.

Below are the pages from the interview.

Meet Minet and Natalie. Sisters, best friends and owners of the amazing downtown San Diego boutique, DOLCETTI. I was commissioned by Natalie (right) to create this illustration for Minet (left) for her 30th birthday bash. They are the cutest! I had so much fun with it. And this will go down as my LAST commissioned art piece pre-baby!
