I believe in magic. I believe in the power of true love. I believe in fairy tales and happy endings. And I live to create stationery and art for the young at heart to allow my fellow dreamers to treasure all of life’s most wondrous moments!

Fun fact: I don’t have a green thumb. Although I love to have house plants, none that I have held on to have survived and I have just accepted the fact that house plants are not meant to live here! But as a plant lover I would love having a pretty arrangement on the kitchen table and succulents scattered throughout the house. Plan B is working though, I just keep painting flowers and working with amazing florists who share their gifts with me! How about you? Do you have a green thumb? Got any tips for me? 📷 by @selyciayangphotography . . . . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #2020wedding #2020bride #weddingday #weddingideas #weddingcalligrapher #weddinginvitations #weddingstationery #dailydoseofpaper #weddingcalligraphy #gardenwedding #californiawedding #weddingdetails #brideandgroom #watercolorwedding #weddinginvitation #californiabride #HereComesTheBride #MissToMrs #EngagementRing #ChangingMyLastName #JustSaidYes #BrideToBe #flowerrecipe #bridalbouquet #bridalbouquets #springwedding #springbouquet #bouquetrecipe

What has been the best new start you’ve had? Every moment is a chance for a new beginning and I can truly say, the best new start I ever made was when I first picked up a paint brush. It was terrifying in ways. But at the end of the day it was just the creative boost that I needed! And what about you? Can you share a new start you’ve had? I have a feeling we are all due for a new start pretty soon! . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #handletteredabcs #watercolor #watercolour #handlettering #dailydoseofpaper #typography #handdrawntype #watercolorlettering #watercolorflorals #watercolorflowers #watercolorwreath #flowerstagram #watercolorpainting #nurserydecor #nurseryinspo #nurseryart #etsyfinds #etsygifts #familynamesign #socalartist #initialart #watercolorartist #theletterA #weddingflowers #weddingbouquet #bridalbouquet #weddingbouquetpainting #floralwatercolor

Shhhh... can you hear that noise, Mama? That whisper? I certainly do, it's Silhouette Season calling me! In just a week's time, I'll be announcing this year's Mother's Day sale! I hope it will be bright spot in your day among so much chaos that the school closures have brought to your life. I hope this year's silhouette portraits will help mamas everywhere remember these sweet little one's profiles: the length of their eyelashes, the roundness of their noses, their sweet little lips — all immortalized in paper! However their hair may be on the scruffy side... I know I can't be the only one with a little one who is in desperate need of a haircut! But looking past the hair in his face, I'm certainly looking forward to working on each and every silhouette for y'all! Mother's Day may still be 5 weeks away, but who else is excited for this cherished day?? . . . #yournewfriendsam #samallencreates #shopsmall #smallbusiness #smallbusinesslove #smallbizlife #creativeentrepreneur #etsyonsale #etsycommunity #etsyseller #etsyshop #etsyshopowner #etsyfinds #etsygifts #papercut #papercutsilhouette #silhouette #papersilhouette #giftsformom #giftformom #giftideasforher #mothersday #mothersdaygifts #mothersdaygift #mothersdaygiftideas #mothersdayideas #grandmagift #giftforgrandma #giftformother #giftforwife
