Family Forest Fest

I had the privilege of creating artwork for the Family Forest Fest; a camping experience designed for families with young children. In 2017 they had events in two locations; one on Whidbey Island outside of Seattle, the other at Leaping Lamb Farm in Alsea, Oregon. In 2018, they had one event in Alsea, Oregon. They hosted a teddy bear hunt, outdoor play for kids, live music, bubble professionals, a movie night, a costume carnival, night hikes, family yoga, and so much more. There were also outdoor gear vendors there with gear for campers (and kids) try out. It looked amazing and I was sad to see them stop the events when it was becoming too difficult to make it sustainable.

I designed t-shirts for the events along with magazine ads, social media graphics, event maps, signs, and banners. Here's the adult t-shirt from 2017. It was printed in kelly green for staff members and navy blue for adult attendees.

The kids tees were printed on lime green.

I also created signs to identify different parts of the camp and a map of each location so campers knew where everything was. Some spaces were even sponsored.

For the 2018 event, they were able to use many of the same signs, but we did revamp the t-shirt designs:

Kid’s shirts were bright blue:

For the adult tees, they went with this lovely shade of dark green along with some lighter green and gray options:

It was such a pleasure to work on all of these items for Family Forest Fest. Thank you so much Shanti and Erin!

Laura's Holiday Card - 2019

Laura’s awesome holiday cards are always creative and they never disappoint; and this year was no exception. I also need to give her family credit for being so enthusiastic about these fun holiday cards.

She took photos of everyone in the family separately and I pieced them together in Photoshop. I LOVE how it turned out. The comic book theme with the text totally meshed with the silliness of the photo.

And how about a zoom in on those joyriding kids, freaked out parents, and a terrified pug!

Jaxon's 6th Birthday

Jaxon had an awesome garbage truck themed party for this 6th birthday. His mommy JoAnna and I worked on some fun printed items for his big day. We started with basic green garbage trucks because they are pretty common, but then Jaxon asked his mom to ask me to change them to red, because that’s what the garbage trucks look like in his neighborhood.

Custom invitation:

After the invitations were printed and sent, Jaxon had another request for the red garbage truck: could I add the grabbing-arm that is on the side of the trucks. So I made it holding the number six for the favor labels, welcome sign, and t-shirt graphic.

Ian's 1st Birthday

For his 1st birthday, Ian wanted a monster struck theme and his mommy, Syrita had his party at a children’s art studio. So, what to do? Create an invitation with both monster trucks AND art!

I love how it turned out!

Happy birthday Ian! I hope your party was a blast!

Vera's Baby Shower

When my friend Vera was having a November baby, a group of friends and I planned a Halloween-themed baby shower for her that also doubled as a little Halloween party for our kids. Invitations were sent via Facebook event, so I created a cover image for the event. I had so much fun turning a simple witch graphic into a babywearing witch, see the little green baby??

Then I created and printed a welcome sign for the front door. Can you see the little baby’s crib in a window of the castle?

Lastly, I made these little “wishes” cards for Vera to have as a keepsake.

I love making these custom "wishes for baby” cards. They can be such a wonderful keepsake for new parents to go back and read when their baby is older.

Joey's Holiday Card - 2018

My dear friend Joey had these beautiful photos taken of her son and she wanted to send them to family and friends for Christmas, so I whipped up a few holiday card concepts and this one was the winner.

We made sure to include an elephant to pay tribute to their oldest son who passed away shortly after he was born. Love you, Jack!!

I love the subtle, gold sparkle print and the knitted sweater background. The beautiful photos were taken by Jennifer Lyn Holmes.
