let's talk marble

i'm sure at some point i've declared my love for all things marbleized. if not, i'll do it now. i love marbleized things. there, done. so i made some stationery sets recently with envelopes lined in marbleized paper. this is luxe, folks. thick cottony paper. shimmery envelopes. gorgeous colors. and elegant marble paper. all wrapped snug as a bug in a pretty silk ribbon and packaged in a pretty white box. great for gift giving. and as you know, the season of gifting is upon us.

Holla ... set of 10 flat cards and 10 lined envelopes.

in the mood for something a little more vibrant? how about curry and purple. 

found here.

and then i spotted these at west elm. marbleized boxes. how cool are they. the natural colored one totally matches my stationery. i think i'll ask santa for one.

merry everything and happy always*

our christmas card photo. this year the card was all about pixel. steve and i were merely a backdrop to her.
this photo was taken by our friend jared. he and his wife sarah are very talented photographers now living here in seattle. as soon as they have their website set up, i'll share it with y'all. along with some of the other photos from our photoshoot. it was a fun day.

here's the card. i was dying to use my new baker's twine from divine twine. the twine held together the card, the photo and pixel's letter (below). pixel's profile even graced the postage stamps.

pixel fit time into her busy schedule of hunting and napping to share her thoughts on the year. (click to enlarge.)

i'm off for the next few days to enjoy the holidays with steve and the crew (that'd be pixel, cali and beauty). tomorrow we're going to make these to pass out to the neighbors. i can't wait. i hear they're amazing. i'll let ya know.


merry christmas!

*one of my customers asked me to customized her christmas photo cards with this saying. i loved it! so it borrowed it for here.
