Families are Forever Printable
I had a hard time coming up with a printable for this simple phrase. I wasn’t sure if I should make it overly extravagant, or keep it simple. I’d like to think I kept it in the middle, and let “Families are Forever” stand out more. And can I just say how glad I am that I get to be with my cute little family forever, even through the roughest of days, they’re the ones I want to keep with me for eternity. 🙂
This printable is perfect to hang in your home whether it be surrounded by pictures of your family, or hung up by itself somewhere in your home. It is the perfect reminder that families are important and a great reminder of what an amazing blessing this is from our Heavenly Father.

Logo Design: Knotty Kreations
I’m sharing another amazing small business who I had the opportunity to work with and create this fun logo for her shop. While looking for a new hobby, the owner of Knotty Kreations stumbled across crochet and it quickly turned into something she loved to do on a daily basis.
She is incredibly talented and can do just about anything you ask. If you show her a picture of something that you want made, she’ll do exactly that! If you want to tweak it a bit, she’s got you covered. She makes a variety of items from hats, clothing, stuffed animals, blankets and much more!

Logo Design: Fly Tots
Last month, I had the chance to work with some amazing small businesses and designed logos for their shops. Today, I’m sharing the logo I designed for Fly Tots. The owner of Fly Tots was surrounded by palm trees growing up and wanted that memory of her childhood incorporated in her logo.
Fly Tots is a unique and fun shop that sells adorable cushions for your little one. It’s a great way to encourage your kids to read, and strong enough to withstand pillow fights (already tested!) 🙂
These cushions are easy for your tots to carry around the house and they come in a variety of hip styles! If you have a toddler in your home, you’re going to need to check out Fly Tots! She is currently offering a giveaway on Instagram, so enter today!!

Printable Birthday Calendar
I have been wanting to make one of these Birthday Calendars for a long time, and I’ve finally done it! I had seen so many cute ideas on Pinterest, but was always worried I’d mess it up. You see, when it comes to painting on wood, I find a way to screw it up and then I’m done with that project. I never want to see it again basically. Although, I remembered something my super talented SIL and friend (Tammy & Liz) did last year and I absolutely loved it!
I wanted to create something just like that, but didn’t want to have to deal with a painting fiasco. So, I came up with a solution and a printable that you can use too. It is extremely easy and all you need is:
Materials:
A Printer
Scissors
Picture Frame (make sure the surface is flat)
Drawer Knob
White Card Stock
Glitter Paper
Birthday Cake Printable (Download for 5×7 | 8x10)
Chalkboard tags + a small piece of string
Glue (Modge Podge)
Glue Gun
Instructions:
1. Print out your background from the following options below.
2. On a separate sheet of paper, print out the “birthday cake” and cut those pieces out. (I’ve tried printing on glitter paper, and it did not work out well, so DON’T do it!)
3. Trace the “birthday cake” onto the back of the glitter paper and cut those pieces out.
4. Glue the glitter “birthday cake” pieces onto the background you printed out.
5. While you’re waiting for the glue to dry, hot glue your drawer knob at the bottom (center) of your picture frame.
6. Once everything is dry, stick the Birthday Cake Background into the frame and hang up your family & friend’s birthdays that you’ve written on the chalkboard tags onto the drawer knob and you’re done!
Easy, right? I’ve created 3 different backgrounds in 12 different colors. So pick your favorite and have fun creating you’re own Birthday Calendar!

Gold Foil Printable
Gold Foil is such a popular thing these days, I figured it was time to join the club. I don’t have a fancy silhouette, so I thought it would be fun to make a gold foil-looking printable. This print is a great reminder that you are beautiful for just being you, and to never change who you are.
The frame I used on the left was done by my talented friend Dominique, who is amazing at turning old things into beautiful home decor. She has a cute little shop on Etsy, and sells lots of upcycled and Shabby Chic frames and other decor at Birdie Go Go. You have to check her out!
I’ve made 2 different types of Gold Foil Prints to choose from, one with a normal Gold Foil look and the other with a Glitter Gold. If you aren’t feeling the gold but like the print, I’ve made a print with a black font.

Easter Gift Tags
Ever since I started this blog, I’ve bought more holiday candy than normal. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s not always a good thing since I lack self control when it comes to sweets. Luckily, I’ve made these cute little Easter Gift Tags to send this candy on it’s way out the door, if my family and I don’t eat it all before then (no promises). If you’re self control is better than ours, here are some cute Easter Gift Tags to use.

Free Shutterfly Photo Book
For the first 3 years of JD’s life, I’ve created a “Year in Review” photo book from Shutterfly, and I’m so glad I did. Every now and again, I look at the books and can’t believe how fast my 4 year old is growing and all the fun stuff we’ve accomplished each year. He’s been to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico during his first year, been to Disneyland every year of his life, and last year began the start of his professional baseball career playing t-ball – just to name a few. It’s a tradition I plan to continue throughout the rest of his life, and will begin to do for his little brother, Danny.
