New to the Shop!!!

Hello there!!! Long time no see in blog land! Many wonderful and fabulous things have happened since winter time...new baby (5 months now), celebrated a 5 year old and 3 year old's birthday (detail to come), and doing our best to keep all in order and enjoy the last summer before big kid school starts for our oldest!!! 

Great things are coming to the shop Everything Modern Designs...so be sure to go and check it out and let me know what you think! Wanted to share these two cute chevron party invitation designs that I worked on this weekend...

Modern Chevron

Rainbow Chevron

They are currently available to be printed and shipped and will hopefully later this week be available for immediate download and customization (so you can purchase them at midnight and print them from your home computer and have them in the mail the next day!). How awesome would that be???

I am going to do my best to post here at least one time a week. I have so many ideas that I want to share and things that I have found helpful as a mom, wife, designer and party planner!!! 

Have a wonderful week and check back next week!!!

Exciting News....

So excited to share some news!!!

We will be expecting our third little bundle of joy in early February!!!

We are so excited, overwhelmed and giddy to be able to welcome another child, a little girl into our family. We look forward to our continuing exciting adventure being parents to our little ones.

With that said...we have TONS of project we need to complete before the little one arrives. Shifting rooms and sleeping arrangements around to make room for number three is going to be fun, stressful and in the end hopefully make us more organized.

Hope to share some of these little DIY project and room renovations in the upcoming months...

LOVING these (in my opinion) words of wisdom from a blog post over at Kind Over Matter from awhile back. Loving everything about this image - the colors, the rustic look and the words that seem to be speaking to me everyday right now!!! What words of wisdom inspire you???

Working on some logo love and marketing package fun this week! Hopefully I can share some of the projects with you soon!

Happy Tuesday!!!

So...it has been awhile

It is crazy to think that I have not posted on here since early May. I have been feeling a little guilty lately not posting anything on the blog, but have also realized that there are number of things that have been going on around here and blogging has just not been one of them. I do, however, feel that blogging is a creative expression and something that I should do weekly, just to get the wiggles out, share something that is amazing, or hopefully share a tutorial now and then. I love to look at  blogs - so what not put some creativity in my own?

This first post back is dedicated to what has been going on family and business wise. What the home looks like is a completely different post, since I am still in the process of figuring out what I am doing around the house...

We had birthdays for our little ones - celebrating our little girl turning 4 and our little man turning 2. We enjoyed time at the beach for the little mans birthday on top of the in town celebrations - which was a much needed get away for our little family.

Karis, 4 years old

Tyler, 2 years old

I still find it simply amazing that we have two children. I am amazed that they are learning something new everyday and teaching me something new everyday too. I am amazed that my little girl is going to preschool in a few weeks and Tyler is no longer a baby, but a toddler.

We have had dance classes and swim lessons to keep us going. We have had stay at home vacation days to just hang out and have been loving the Olympics has been on for the past week.

Side job work has been busy. So busy that I decided to take the month off from making hair accessories in July to try and get some things done around that house white the kiddos were napping. I got a few walls painted and choose to play with kids the rest of the time.

Karis Kisses Boutique

The side job work of graphic design for logos has been pretty intense as well. I think I took the time from closing down my hair accessory shop to work on logos for clients and get a little house painting in on the side.

Everything Modern Designs

Although it seems from this post that there has been a lot going on, and there has, there have also been days where it is considered a Jammy Day...which tend to be my favorite!

So my goal for the week to work up a new blog post and hopefully it will continue for weeks to come!

Happy Monday all!

May Color Fun for Graphics and Life!!!

Crushing on these colors right now!!! And succulents for that matter!!!

Photo of the succulent bouquet found on The Perfect Palette. Colors that were selected from their site are beautiful and inspiring. But what I inspired me from their photo and palette were the turquoise, avocado and butter tones.

 

Everything Modern Design color fun for May

These compliment each other so nicely and work together graphically and in art prints. Not mention I am seeing these color everywhere from clothing, wedding and interiors.

 These are the colors that I hope to bring into my graphic designs this month!!!

What colors are you crushing on right now?

Weekend Goodness

This weekend was one of those weekends you love and wish would NEVER END...Weather was wonderful, sunny and warm. We were busy, but not too busy to take a nap...and we were able to get a little bit of housework done around the house. It was such a nice weekend that I did not even find time to get out my camera and take photos of it until last night after we had a picnic on the grass.

This is K and T watering the lawn in their muck boots. T is quite stylish in a polo and diaper...which is becoming the only way to play in the backyard these days!!! 

What did we do that was so fabby???

 

Happy Monday!!! 

May you have a fabulous week and wonderful weekend!!!

Monday Morning Fun....

Our routine has changed a little in the past month on Mondays. Now that Rob is working Monday-Friday... woo hoo. Monday has become a day to get housework started and possibly done. To get ready for the week and have some fun time with the kiddos. Here is our Monday morning sans (with) photos....

Muck boots and chalk

 Blowing bubbles

Laundry...

 

Cleaner patio and new succulents to show off on our outdoor coffee table

 Art time...

Roses from the garden

Attempting to make fruit roll ups

Nice morning! One of the best parts about Mondays is that we hang out in our jammies in the morning...so we can just hang out and have fun. The kiddos napping and now I can get some work on the computer done...maybe :)

Happy Monday!!!
