A friendly spider
Hi everyone!
Sorry for missing the past few days. I was battling a bad cold and moving into the new studio! Which, I just love! I can’t wait for everyone local to stop in. As I accessorize and get everything ready for the open house i’ll keep posting more photos if you want to see.
In the meantime though, I have a new card design to share. Fall is officially in the air which means pumpkins for decor and eating and drinking, which leads to Halloween! I am really not a fan of spiders, at. all. However, I couldn’t help to illustrate a friendly little guy with googly eyes to get everyone in the mood for the first fall holiday. You can get yours in the boutique or in our new studio at 20 Washington Street, Ballston Spa, New York.
{ Sold as single cards or a boxed set with matching envelopes }.
Pimp a pink harley
After Angela saw my post showing off Leslie’s custom notes, she contacted me to create a personal note for her too! I couldn’t resist using hot pink which i know Angela loves and mixing it with a hand illustrated Harley. She and her husband ride all summer long! So a nice mixture of color and imagery to express their personalities. {oh! And Angela tells me that Jerry likes pink too!}
A twist of sherbert
I”m thrilled to share some fresh, new printed goodies with you! You all might remember the logo reveal and business card reveal for Deborah DePasquale Designs? We have been working on an entire line of custom printed materials for her, including note cards, client folders, envelopes and stickers! {i think i have expressed how much i just loooove stickers}!
The notecards are simply beautiful printed on double thick stock with rounded corners and painted edges. It is a small details like those that give the pop and wow factor! Client folders are 9″ x 12″ and have a business card slot on the inside. A perfect spot to tuck documents, contracts and inspiration materials. Also, a fun #10 envelope with a printed back flap. I just love her logo colors… it truly is a twist of sherbert.
Be sure to sign up for Deborah’s newsletters and the announcement of all good things to come including the launch of her new website!

Letter love
Remember our birthday back in April and the awesome giveaway? Well i packed everything up and shipped to Leslie last week! I am so in love with her simple cards to send a letter, love note or simple hello. They were letterpressed with the sweetest penmanship font in the lightest of grays. Once i received them and showed them off, i was able to design more for a handful of peeps. I love them and kept putting designing my own on the back burner! Not so much… mine are in the works with a custom monogram for me and my husband!
Leslie, I hope you are enjoying all of your goodies!

So for those that have been following, I keep talking about “big, exciting news” that will be announced soon. Well, the day has come! I’m so happy to announce that The Pink Orange has grown and is now in it’s first paper boutique! Remember the story I told you how I used to spend my allowance at the local Hallmark store after ballet class on Friday nights? How I told my mother I could do that? Well, I have!
I would proudly like to introduce to you all, Paperdolls of Saratoga! I have to say, that I am really excited that my first retail location for my product is local to me. It feels like an artistic mash-up!

New card designs
Good morning!
I wanted to share with you two new card designs. Part of “The Yearly’s” collection, I designed these anniversary cards. One was inspired by one of my favorite brides, Alexis. You might remember her and her bird motif from this real wedding feature. Well I just loved the blue birds so much, I carried the idea over for an anniversary card!
Enjoy…
