Hey friends! I have a fun site to share with you today! I had the pleasure of making new business cards for Carolina from Peas in a Blog. We chose a special rounded design with a natural paper bag texture on the front and pea green on the reverse.  I just love her blog fonts, so we used them here and added a QR code.   As you can see by the sweet images, they blog about fitness, food, places and favorite things.  Here are a few of my recent favorites from their site:) You MUST check it out for yourself here.

I love the new feature on the summer collection from 31bits, a company that’s supporting the rise of women from poverty in Africa. You know how much I love buying for good, so I am super excited about this company!

They also share wonderfully healthy vegetarian and vegan recipes, like this yummy egg salad. I love eggs, and I especially love egg salad, and I more especially love it in a boat since I don’t really eat bread. yum yum yum:)

And we can’t miss out on all the really great fitness tips and workouts they share! These girls are runners and total workout enthusiasts! I finished my second half marathon in April and am gearing up for Savannah this fall…you can too! Their site is a great place to get motivated!

Thanks ladies for such a fun read!

Hi friends! I’m excited to share a new design with you today!  Brittany is a dear friend who will be spending her summer in another country to spread the Gospel. I am so pumped!!! I must mention that while I really really like her, and even let her babysit my sweet Levi…her brother runs the cupcake truck around here…so I may like him better…well maybe just as much…but he does sell cupcakes…just saying…

Anyway, for this design I was inspired by the landscape and colors of the continent she will be living on.  The simple, girl and her journal…and mosquito net…type design. Here are a few of my inspiration images.

Brittany ordered a basic blogspot layout which includes a header and background. We added on sidebar buttons, a favicon, and a blog signature.

I am so excited to share this journey with her! Anyone want to babysit for me while she’s away? :)

If you are interested in a blog for yourself or your biz, I would love to help with that!!! Check out my blog design services:)

Hey friends!
It’s almost Mother’s Day! Man how time flies doesn’t it! Last Mother’s Day we were in the NICU with our brand new baby…he made me a footprint flower…the nurse said he worked very diligently on it:) Do you have a special way to honor mom?   You could always send her your footprint…OR you could donate to a really awesome adoption fund and give her this free printable. You can click on the picture to make it super big and right-click to save to to your computer. It was made to print in a 5×7 size.

Don’t know where to donate? You can start at Show Hope or some of our friends are adopting and you can support them here.

Are you ready for my latest love? This almond butter banana nut wrap is AMAZING!

It’s a twist on a recipe from my sister…whose house I sometimes show up at for random meals and snacks.

You will need:

Whole wheat wrap

Almond butter (or peanut butter if you prefer, but almond butter is super healthy for you)

Banana

Raisins

Honey

Pecans (or walnuts maybe)

Now assemble and EAT! Yummy AND healthy!

You will need:

2 sticks melted butter
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour (or you can use all-purpose for less cakey)
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup coca
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup chocolate chips (or you could do butterscotch, or nuts)
1 tsp vanilla

To Make:

Mix all and pour into greased dish.  Bake at 350 for at least 30 minutes. Mine were pretty thick and took more like 45 minutes.

Now eat, preferably while hot!
