Theresa found Come Together Cards on Etsy and contacted me about needing a new buisness/family card with contact information because they were moving. She wanted me to draw her family. They are an outdoorsy bunch, so we put them in green and khaki! Here is the finished product...with all the contact information deleted, of course!  This is the OTHER fun I have been working on- Valentine Cards

I love getting Christmas cards. I mean, I L-O-V-E getting Christmas cards. Obviously, I am a lover of paper, so to see my favorite families all on cute paper in my mailbox- it is a special kind of joy. I never know what to do with the cards after I get them. I feel bad throwing them away, so I didn't for years, then had a drawer overflowing with cards that I could not close. So when I saw this

Is anyone else freaking out that it is the WEEK of Christmas!?! Man, I am. I am not freaking out because I am not ready (um, I don't have one present wrapped! Yikes!) but more because it has gone so fast! Maybe I should be freaking out that I haven't wrapped anything. Maybe I just should start wrapping and stop watching so many Christmas movies.

I wish I was this cute. Not just the costumes, but its obvious these people are cute, together, and have a cute life. They probably are always on time, sew their kids costumes, and make brownies from scratch for their bible study class. I am not this family. But I wish I was. I wish I was that bread, that bacon, and that lettuce and tomato. This is the cutest darn sandwich I have ever seen.

Just like I have a love for food that looks like other food, I have a great appreciation for great Halloween costumes. And no, I don't mean the skanky, half dressed women that use Halloween as an excuse to dress like a street walker. I am talking about bonafide, creative, hard work involved costumes. People are soooo clever and come up with the best ideas! I saw this photo on Twitter in the

I'm in the process of brainstorming my son's birthday party next month, and here are some images I pulled off Pinterest that give me inspiration. The theme is going to be a "little man" party but with a SPY twist. Little man=to appease momSpy=to appease him!  :) I'm getting really excited about the adorable details that are coming together! How is your October shaping up so far?

I am surrounded by red, white and blue and STARS!!!I can *almost* see the light at the end of the tunnel unpacking my recent move's boxes, so I am slowly but surely uncovering things I thought I lost! :) (I am still looking for my huge bottle of silver glitter.

Some of my best friends are girls I see less than once a year. My college roommates. We are all in the same place in life- busy, busy, busy with kids, husbands, jobs, churches, ministries, and more babies!We try to see each other at least every year, and it doesn't always happen. But when it does, it is a joy. This month was time for our trip and we were fortunate enough to go to Kiawah Island,

We are moving. Probably right now as we speak, I am lifting a dresser or painting a wall. So, in our new house, I am going through a new look. Something fresh, different colors than I have used before...something that fits with the historic home we bought. I needed inspiration and ideas. Where did I go? Pintrest, of course! :) There I found a bedroom color that I loved!(Ralph Lauren color)

Happy September 1st! YAY that fall is almost-somewhat-gonna be here! We just took a little road trip to a part of Texas that we love- the Hill Country- and Austin in Particular. Every time I go to Austin, I love to eat at the old standbys, and this time I got to try some new places! We went to SoCo- South Congress street, which is a really cute part of Austin. Cool shops and very funky vibe.

The great thing about the bowling party is there is no mess to clean up. Bowling alley= leave the stress when you leave. But just because you are having a party the bowling alley doesn’t mean that you can’t add some original ideas and decorations to make it extra special! And if the bowling alley you choose is gross, then decorations can cover up the stains and make it like new :) This cute

I mean, not to put pressure on myself or anything. But we close on our house next Tuesday (YAY!!) and I need to find a paint color.Some things to think about.The house was built in 1895 and is Victorian style, with trim, woodwork, and wrap around porches. The house is currently painted the lovely hues of seafoam green, mint green and pink. Yes, you heard that correct. My husband is probably

Ahh, the roller skating party. This takes me back to the days of middle school. I was always really impressed with the kids that could skate well, especially the ones that could do the crossover thing when they turned a corner and crossed their skates over each other. Are you this person? Then I am pretty sure you were the envy of the skating party. Skating parties have come a long way since

As soon as I heard about the Stationery Academy, I wanted to go.I had been looking for something just like this- something that would talk specifically about creating stationery and the business behind it.I had already made my plan for the year, however, and by the time the Stationery Academy was announced, I was committed elsewhere.But I couldn't shake the feeling that I was supposed to be there

Does your child want to party like a rock star? Mine does, and I don’t think he even knows what that means. Which is good, I guess! :) Here are great ideas for the Rock Star guy or girl to pull off a birthday party that a rockstar like Steven Tyler would appreciate!

The Diva Birthday Party has lots of variations. It could be a princess party, a zebra party, a pink party, a spa party, a makeover party…and we haven’t even scratched the surface of ideas! Basically, a diva incorporates all kinds of theme, so there are many directions you can take and make your own. We will look at a couple of ideas in this post- there are so many cute ones that we can't feature

 I am a reader. So much so that when I have a big project going on, I will not myself start a book because I get so obsessed that I won’t put it down until I am finished! I think that started because when I read the Twilight series I was out of commission for a full week. Out of commission. Nothing got done, and Edward and Bella were part of my household for daaaaaaays.  So when I saw these

Oh, the wonderful potential of a princess party! So many beautiful ideas to make your pretty little princess feel special on her big day. Some may shy away from a princess party because some looks have been done over and over, but there are still some very original and creative ideas to celebrate a little princess.  For instance...take a look at this sweet green and pink princess party!

I just fell in love with this Picnic Birthday Party theme. I am usually not one for do-it-yourself crafty type invitations, (obviously I prefer adorable, classy printed invitations!) but I do love the creativity and detail that went into this picnic lunch bag. Go to her blog to see more photos and get the free downloads for the sandwich, apple and milk clip art if you want to do this yourself!

It was such a pleasure to work with the beautiful photos of the newly married Bergeners! Andrea saw this Christmas card and thought it would make a perfect wedding thank you card. Usually, when people make a plan to order something 6 months later, even with the best intentions it never pans out. But Andrea is very on top of things, because she actually did!

Art parties were not really around when I was coming up, which might make me feel old. I know I would have really liked this sort of party. Having a creative bent, I think this is the kind of party I would have really gone crazy for. Now I have a child so I can just let him have the party I never had. That is what a kid is for-right? For me to live my childhood desires and push them on him?!

I was going through some photos on my phone and came across some birth announcement designs I had been working on before we moved.

We are in the last of our Transportation Series for the Best of the Web Kids Birthday Parties. We have looked at airplanes, trucks, cars, and dump trucks, but there is one major missing piece that has not been examined. If you ask my adorable little nephew Noah, he will tell you that he is in love with TRAINS! So it is only natural that we include those-- even just so I can be a good aunt! :)

This post is about one of my favorite things- bargain hunting!  I love going to garage sales, where I can get the best, sometimes unused stuff for a great price. After all, as they say, "one person's trash is another person's treasure" and my house is filled with non-trashy treasures! One of my favorite ones is this piece, mostly because is has such a fascinating story!! This is an antique card

I am always impressed once I start looking for ideas and see the creativity of people. Did we ever have cute parties before people started posting them online? Where did we find our ideas? What? People actually thought of them in their brain? I have heard of no such thing. Last post was an adorable take for an Airplane Party.  Boys of all ages love transportation, so this time we are exploring

I live in Texas, and that means that we all love Willie Nelson. Okay, maybe not, but he's a Texan, so he is one of our own. I may not love his stand on drugs, but I do love his concert poster! What great design. So simple, yet so creative.  Who would think braids could be iconic? (via CMYBacon) It made me wonder what other great Concert Poster Design I have been missing... These are from

Boys of all ages love their toys- including trucks, cars, planes, boats, etc. So naturally, it makes a great birthday party theme. There are so many things you can do to celebrate with planes, trains, and automobiles. Here are some ideas to might help you plan your next transportation party!

First of all, that she is even baking to begin with. I think I was pretty much a walking zombie when my infant was 4 weeks old. Secondly, that someone tried out something I shared on the blog. Its always nice to know

I'M ALREADY MARRIED. So, why, oh why, do I love to look at wedding blogs? Its certainly not because I am planning my next wedding in my head. Although, I do secretly think it would be hilarious to start introducing my husband to strangers as "my first husband, Joel". And it would also be very cruel and very UNfunny to him, not to mention not AT ALL true, so no, I am hitched and here to stay. No

Its those hot summer months, and if your kids are like most kids, any time is a great time for getting in the pool!  Swim parties are ideal because they have an easy, beloved activity built in- swimming. Most kids stay in the water long after they get pruney fingers so the happy-omoter is already sky high just starting out with a swimming party. There are several really cute takes on the

With all the party searching I have been doing, I am seeing parties in my sleep. So it seems like a no-brainer than my post for the 4th of July will be great ideas for a Independence Day party. An adorable flag garland would be a great decoration out on the porch while you eat. I like this take on party favors, or even a way to wrap up something to eat for the party. They are mini pies,

At a Cowboy/Cowgirl Birthday Party, the best part is the FOOD!   Just so cute. I love pink cowgirl stuff, so these parties ideas are just so up my alley. Some are baby showers (which is an adorable idea!) but all can ideas can be interchanged!  How cute to drink out of Mason Jars! A little sweet tea, please!  I love this bucket full of strawberry and regular milk in jars! The pink and white

Being from Texas, I have a special place in my heart for all things western. There are so many cute looks past the boring old roper. A western party has so much potential and can be great for a cowboy OR chic cowgirl! So, in making this post, I had a little trouble stopping finding great ideas. The Party Dress posted this inspiration board which I thought had some great inexpensive details. I

I am a huge movie buff and seeing these drawn recreation of some movie classics takes me back to the first time I saw them. The “OUTATIME” license plate and Calvin Klein Briefs? Juno’s Hamburger phone and orange Tic-Tacs? Forrest’s crunches and running shoes? And of course, the poloroid from when Maverick and Goose take their flight together and memories are made upside down. via cmybacon.com

I have a dream of having a craft room. Right now, we are in the process of moving houses so we are renting a garage apartment while our house gets ready, so something like a craft room seems a  million miles away.  I don't just mean a room to DO crafts. I mean a pure, frivolous, whole room of the house DEDICATED to crafts and organizing them.  Oh yeah, I am a die hard crafter. But one day, I

I love the owl/woodland/toadstool theme because there are so many colors that can be used for it. I have seen it with a girly pink with flowers, and a manly blue and brown for boys. The party featured is one of my favorites b/c The Party Dress does a beautiful job with inspiration boards and details, but this can be recreated for ANY color scheme- boy or girl!

What little boy does not dream of being a fireman or policeman? This is such a great party theme for boys of all ages. I love these fireman ideas for food and decorations!! Come Together Cards Firefighter Birthday Party Invitation One great idea is to tour the firehouse. Our town let us do this free of charge. If the firefighters are not out fighting a fire, one is there to give the tour.

Dear old dad. Does he get the shaft when it comes to party decoration? Possibly. In our house, the only "decoration" my husband needs is a game on the big screen TV and he is pretty happy. However, with Father's Day coming, I wanted to find some sweet Fatherly inspiration that wouldn't be too hard and would make Dad feel a little more special than just turning on the TV.

And, the number of blog entries the Come Together Cards blog has reached. And I ask myself, "How can I possibly have 500 things to say?" But I have. And I did. And I hope I have 500 more.

The premise of the Phraseology Project is so clever. They ask you to submit a phrase, symbol or word, and they will make it into art. And they really do-- even though they say mundane or weird things, like "analog blog"! What a fun idea and talented designers. Here are some of my favorite posters made from submitted phrases. via cmybacon

This party theme hit it out of the park. Not only was it a 1950's era party, but it was ALSO a murder mystery party AND and engagement party! And from the photos, it obvious it was a ball.I think 1950's parties are also really fun for kids! Adults are not the only ones that like to wear poodle skirts! This bride-to-be had some great ideas to make this theme stand out-- even on  a budget! Here

We went on a road trip this weekend and I wanted to share some photos with you! I heard about Renegade Craft Fair last year and didn't have a chance to make it to Austin from Dallas. So, this year, I put it on my calendar and didn't want to miss it! Its a bunch of indie designers who make handmade goods- like a craft fair for Etsy shops! We stopped by my FAVORITE small town, Gruene, Texas, on

You might notice I will start talking more about decorating. I always love decor, but now I have it on my mind! Moving houses will do that to ya. I am dreaming, designing, packing and selling as we are pounding the pavement looking for a new home. My son still has his decor from when he was a baby, only upgraded to be more big boy. We did a very sweet vintage cowboy pattern in his crib, and so

Has anyone heard of a wedding taking place soon? I keep hearing of something--I am just not sure what is going on? Okay, that's a laugh.

I had the pleasure of working on some designs for an auction fundraiser for a private school . It was a blast to be able to work on several pieces with the same theme throughout. The only specifications given were that the colors were black, white and orange with a little green. Other than that, I was able to do whatever I wanted- which is ALWAYS fun!

I came across some really beautiful vintage Easter images, and since I am a sucker for all things vintage, I had to make them into note cards! These would be perfect to send to friends or write a little spring note on! My favorite one is the He is Risen Cross. Its such a beautiful expression that I don't think about enough! Happy Spring to you!

Can I just weep tears of cuteness? Because when I came across this Beatles Themed Birthday Kids party, my creative tear ducts swelled up with tears made of glitter. Okay, call me a little crafty-dramatic, but I really love to see how people think of adorable themes and run with them.And I also love that the Beatles song, "Come Together" was used... That twinkle yellow submarine??!?! Worth

Have you ever seen the catalog from Ballard designs? I am pining over these pillows. I LOVE them. I think they are so cute and would look great on my bed :) I thought this canvas was really cute when I saw it in the catalog, and lo-and-behold someone found a thrifty way to re-create it. Thrifty AND cute- you are speaking my language! Find the steps here

Some designs are easy to do because I have learned the design style of the person ordering. Sarah Beth, as it turns out, has similar taste to my personal taste, and is laid back enough to give me a few details and let me run with it. That is super fun for me, and as a result, I had a ball designing this sassy zebra print bachelorette party invitation. So imagine my delight when I came

 My 30th birthday was an all PINK party  This is my birthday weekend, and if you are me, that means you want to celebrate for about a week. I like for my birthday to last a really long time until everyone is sick of it :) So, blogger friends, you must play along too! I thought it would be fun to post some random tidbits about myself that you may not know... My nickname is Dot b/c my nephew

If my house looked like this I might never leave home.... Probably the only way this is gonna happen is if I pitch a tent in my new favorite store, Andersons! This wonderful store is full of eye candy. They have several locations around Dallas, and it pretty much all to die for. If you are not in Dallas, you can check them out online, too. I was lucky enough to borrow a lamp from here to

It was a rainy Saturday and I needed something exciting to get me out of the house. My mom has a HUGE collection of vintage earrings and eyesores that we actually used to WEAR in the 80's and 90's. (On a side note, WHY where our earrings that big?! Didn't it make our ears hurt? I remember my ears hurting, but it didn't stop me. I DO NOT want that trend to come back!) So, we sifted through all

Did I ever tell you about the time we went to Hawaii? My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary last summer, and were thrilled to find out we were staying next door to a movie set. Just Go With It was being filmed and starring Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler, and Nicole Kidman. Dave Matthews was also in it! So, we became a fixture at the movie set, watching filming and the crazy fun

The Superbowl is in Dallas this year, and everyone here is all ABUZZ. I am not sure that abuzz is even a word, but there should be a made up word for the frenzy of the metroplex getting ready for this big of a sporting event. If it is a word, then I will make up a new one. Something like franticity.   To celebrate this week of all things football, I thought we should focus on a football-themed

Allow me to share some of the cutest Valentine food and projects! This is one of the most creative, cute ideas! It makes me think of those candy necklaces I used to wear when I was a kid. Remember how messy they used to get? It was like wearing a string of slobber around your neck. Gross. But kids love them!!But these are not like that. :) Way cuter. These are GUMBALLS!!!

My college roommate just turned me on this this blog, and I am already loving it. She posted photos of her kitchen remodel and I am super inspired.

When I was a kid, we used to get calendars from Santa Claus. Now, Santa Claus doesn't visit this grown up, and if he did, he knows that calendars are half off after Christmas, so the fun of opening one under the tree gives way to the fun of saving 50%. I recently started my search for a great wall calendar. The criteria:A monthly view so I can organize the family's activities at a glance
