Stickers for books and notebooks!

Thanks for peeking in on my blog! I have been working very hard to finish my studies and my blog is on "vacation", but I wanted to share some stuff I am doing for Lorelys which is going to school on August. I made an illustration of a little girl with butterflies on a sunny day to make a pencil pouch for her and I just designed some cute matching stickers for her books and notebooks.  They say: "This belongs to:" and one of them has the logo of the school she is attending to, I love how these turned out!

 

I also wanted to consult with all of you wonderful girls because I am having trouble on transferring the image to a canvas fabric to make the pouch, so if you have any advice please comment to let me know!  I think the image is just too big (8 X 9 in). I want to make this style of pencil pouch that I found from Kukubee on Etsy:

I just fell in love with these little pouches and wanted to make one for my little one with her name. So if you have any advice or ideas, please let me know.

Back to School!

Yeah, I know it is too early, but my free time is scarce this days. My little princess is going to Pre-Pre Kinder this year (tears in my eyes!) and of course I am already preparing some cute stuff for her to take to school! I am very busy with working full time and finishing my studies, so I barely have time to attend my Etsy Shop or do more designs!  But I just could not resist, for now, I am going to share this design I am working on for her.

I am going to make a pencil bag, out of this design... I don't know how to sew, but I think I can do it! I have the process on my mind, and of course when I finish it you will be the first to see it!

Other things I want to do include a notebook cover, recyclable treats bag and some other cute stuff. I can't believe my little baby is going to school on August. But now I need your help:

 What handmade things have you made for you kid's back to school?  I would love to hear from you and get more ideas, see pictures, etc! Thanks!!!

New Pop-up Invitation Design: {Sweet Hunny Collection}

A friend of mine found me on Etsy and fell in love with my designs! Although I am on a break, I decided to create a pop-up invitation for her baby boy first birthday. The birthday has a Winnie the Pooh theme, so I created a bee-hunny related theme... hunny like Pooh spell it! I created the invitation with the form of a bee hive with happy bees inside and of course hunny at the top! I drew everything, including the bee and hunny pot myself in AI! This collection will be available on my Etsy Shop soon! Now enjoy the pics I took from my creation.

What do you think? Is this the cutest bee hive you have ever seen?

Invitation Desgin {Circus Birthday Party}

Although I am on a study break, sometimes I get requests for custom work that I can't resist! A client contacted me because she loved my Cupcake Pop-up Birthday Invitation, but wanted it customized for a circus party. As I read her e-mail I started to envision this cute little invitation with a circus flag over it... well let the pictures talk by themselves...

 

This collection will be available on my Etsy Shop soon!

Sweet Parties: Wii Birthday Tournament

I found this super sweet party from Susan Crabtree at PocaCosas.  It was a party for teen boys and I am sure they had a super duper sweet time! Susan exploded the Wii Tournament theme and provided her guests with players agreements, schedule of events, Wii inspired prizes (movie sized candy) for the event Wii-nners, tournament shirts, team passes, a Wii-kend Warrior Kit for the tournament, Wii-cked goodies, even a Wii remote birthday cake. Every detail was perfect!

 

This is the first Sweet Party I feature on my blog, this is how much I loved his one!

Hope to feature many more!

I have a nephew and he loves the Wii, he would be nuts for a party like this. Thanks for the inspiration Susan and keep up the great work!

Do you think someone will love to see this party... share on Twitter and Facebook using my handy little buttons at the top, thank you for sharing!

Sweet Berrylicious {Free Party!} Part 2

I am adding some other stuff to my free Sweet Berrylicious Party printables, this time is Sweet Circles and Thank you tags! The thank you tags say: "Thank you... for coming to my party!" These match with the other free printables I have posted here and here. I am so excited to be writing about how to make a budget party, I hope to be helping someone out there!

I am still working on the Adobe PDF File for these... as you may know there are people out there imitating (stealing) the hard work of some wonderfully talented women and selling them on Etsy! It happened to Kim from The TomKat Studio, to Amy from Living Locurto and recently to Linnette from Paper Glitter!

I work hard to make my designs uniquely cute and sweet, I honestly don't want to see them for sale as a malformed imitation!

My best advice for those people is: (I just came up with this)

"Everyone is unique, 

just don't forget to find that uniqueness yourself" 

Lorell - Sweetly Sweet

Inspiration can be found everywhere, in the sound of the rain falling, in the giggles of your baby, the colors of the sky... be creative and unique, people really appreciate that!

Now that I said that... other things I am planning for the Sweet Berrylicious collection are:

•  Treat bag toppers
• A printable pinwheel (as a craft for kids)

Please be patient, I will be adding everything slowly but surely!
