Free Printable Elf Gift Tags December 04 2015

Free printable gift tags for you on the first Friday of December! If you follow me on instagram or periscope, you know that I sketched this happy elf for Figgy Pudding Designs December Happyholidoodle challenge. I then scanned him into Photoshop and fancied him up a bit! All you have to do is save the image to your desktop and then print and cut them out! Easy peasy!

As always, please note that they are for personal use only! They can not be copied, duplicated or sold for any other use than to spruce up your personal gifts. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Friday Freebie: Printable To Do List October 23 2015

Happy Friday, everyone! I am so glad it's the weekend. How about you? Weekends are a chance for me to catch up on my to do lists! I am actually the type of person who loves writing things down and marking them off...no digital iphone calendars/lists for me! Plus, pretty paper lists make the "to do's" a wee less painful. In the spirit of that, I designed a little download for all my fellow paper lovers and list makers.

These cute little bird note sheets are 4x6 and all you have to do to start list making is to right click the image (or control button/save image as) below and download to your desktop. Print them off on any paper you like ( I have them on a standard letter size ) and then cut 'em out! Easy peasy.
As always, these are strictly for personal use only!

Enjoy! If you use these, I'd love you to share in a pic! Post them on Instagram and share them with the hashtag #nelladesigns

Happy weekend-ing!

2015 Holiday Collection is Live! October 22 2015

I know what you're thinking. "Already? Great Scott, woman! It's not even Halloween yet!" Before you scoot away, just hear me out? Not only, as a designer, do I have to start working on Christmas cards and holiday paper goods in July (try getting in the spirit when it's 100+ degrees on a good day!) for editorial purposes, but in order for my International pals to partake in the holiday fa la la, I have to debut things a wee early! Shipments take a good while to travel across the pond, ya know.

However, as a consolation prize for those whom aren't quite ready or those who just love a good deal, I shall make it worth your while! From this moment forward until Friday, October 23rd (yes, the entire day) ALL Holiday/Christmas items are 15% OFF with the code FLASHSALE. This is a superb deal & since quite a few of my new designs are limited (I'm looking at you dapper fox & rudolph!) you'll want to nab them before they're gone!

Having said that, I think you'll enjoy the collection. I had great fun using gold elements, chalkboard backgrounds, and whimsical woodland creatures. As always, if you would like something custom, use the contact form above to give me a shout and we'll discuss making all your Christmas dreams come true.

Until next time, friends!

Blush and Gold Wedding Inspiration September 22 2015

I was contacted back in the summer months by The Westchester Wedding Planner magazine to submit a photo of my wedding sign design, (shown in pic 14 below) and was delighted when told it would be featured in their newest issue. The Westchester Wedding Planner is a New York based wedding inspiration blog and curated guide. The magazine features real wedding inspiration, a detailed wedding timeline, resources, planning tips, and tons of wedding ideas.

The magazine features some of the prettiest weddings and bridal photo sessions around & this latest issue is no exception. The spread I was featured in was all about the color combination of blush and gold, which are quite popular this wedding season. And why not? Just look at the lovely bridal bouquet (shown below in picture 4) shot by Oldani Photography (swoon!) or those lovely gold foil letterpress coasters by Laura Hooper Calligraphy (shown in pic 13 above)!

The entire issue is filled with all sorts of inspiration and beautiful photography. If you are newly engaged and looking for ideas for your wedding, take a peek at the issue, it's available digitally here. Enjoy!

New: Wedding Printables Collection! September 09 2015

Hello friends! I have some super exciting news to share with you on the home front! After the New Year, I began to dip my toes in the wedding and party printables arena. It is something that I had been toying around with implementing for quite some time now, and the start of 2015 felt like there was no better time to take the leap.

However, I wanted to be certain that it was something that would be well received, (even liked!) by my customer base, so for the past 7 months or so, I've been testing it out on my Etsy site. I'm pleased to say that it was a hit! That was confirmation enough for me to now offer it on my personal site for all of you fine folks! Introducing the Wedding & Party Printables Collection!

Free Halloween Labels & Stickers October 20 2014

Simply print the labels onto either white card stock or an Avery 2.5" circle adhesive sheet (These should match up to Avery 5194 or 5294 sheets). If you print onto card stock, use your scissors to cut out  (or use a circle  punch if you have one!) and punch a hole in them, loop a ribbon through and then you can tie them onto your Halloween goodie bags! You or your child can personalize them by writing their names on the back with marker as well. These would also be super cute for scrapbook pages, don't you think?
