It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things. -Leonardo da Vinci

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!

Oh this suite 😍... I had so much fun drawing and sketching out the wreath, branches and venue. And then layering the pencil sketch with watercolor to add that pop of color in the envelope liner. One last note, that's MY own design on that wax seal! Eeeek, gotta share more on that soon too!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photography: @samallencreates Venue: @milagrowinery Rentals: @rusticurbanevents Linenes: @nuagedesignsinc Silk ribbons: @paperieandsilk Decor items/table decor: @antiqueologyca Stylist: @tillymestre Designer/ coordinator: @janitamestrephotography Florist: @paloma_blanca_flowers Stationery + Calligraphy: @samallencreates Makeup: @tiffanysharman Hair: @karissabreannphotography Dress: @lulus Tux: @stitchandtie Cake + goodies: @sweet_maple_creations Models: @chaselytle + @alllysaunders Videographer: @isaiahadona Shoes: @bellabelleshoes . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #2018wedding #2018bride #styledshoot #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #weddingday #weddingideas #handlettering #moderncalligraphy #modernscript #weddingcalligrapher #weddinginvitations #weddingstationery #dailydoseofpaper #watercolorflorals #watercolorflowers #watercolorpainting #watercolor #styledshoot #envelopeliner #handmadepaper #wedding #fabulousfancypants #vineyardwedding #winerywedding #venueillustration #weddingvenueinspo #californiawedding

Willis, Party of 5! Their photo was cropped so adding the banner was the perfect touch to create this watercolor painted portrait! I’ve always loved the color schemes Carley uses in her family photos and getting to paint in the little flowers on the dresses was so fun! _ If you're planning on ordering a portrait for Christmas gifting, I know I know it's only September, there's a good chance I will be out of town for a large part of November so please plan ahead! . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #watercolorportrait #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolorartist #familypictures #portraitdrawing #watercoloring #portraitpainting #familyportrait #smallbusiness #papergoods #paperlove #illustration #customillustration #dailydoseofpaper #flashesofdelight #makersmovment #thatsdarling #madebyhand #custom #handmade #painting #paint #drawing #draw #giftidea #familyphotography

Looking forward to celebrating at a Mermaid Bash this weekend! I've been making Molly's invitations since she was born, the first project I ever worked with her mom on was her birth announcement and she's been inspiring my work ever since with all these fun girly projects, giving me a solid direction to head in but then trusting me to apply my own style and stretch my creativity! . . . #yournewfriendsam #samallencreates #typographyinspired #hiddenmickey #dailydoseofpaper #watercolour #watercolor #watercolors #watercolours #watercolorpainting #watercolourpainting #watercolorart #watercolorpainting #watercolorartist #underthesea #undertheseaparty #undertheseatheme #birthdayinvitations #birthdayinvites #birthdaypartyideas #invitationdesign #invitationdesigner #custominvitations #mermaidbirthday #itsagirl #splishsplash #mermaid #brushlettering #birthdayparty

People of Instagram! So excited to be sharing this dusty blue suite with you!! I have some sneak peeks planned before the big reveal, but oh it's one of my favorites!! This wreath and venue sketch were first created with pencil in hand, which I love to use as it gives it such an amazing depth with texture. Stay tuned, more to come next week! _ Photography: @samallencreates Venue: @milagrowinery Rentals: @rusticurbanevents Linenes: @nuagedesignsinc Silk ribbons: @paperieandsilk Decor items/table decor: @antiqueologyca Stylist: @tillymestre Designer/ coordinator: @janitamestrephotography Florist: @paloma_blanca_flowers Stationery + Calligraphy: @samallencreates Makeup: @tiffanysharman Hair: @karissabreannphotography Dress: @lulus Tux: @stitchandtie Cake + goodies: @sweet_maple_creations Models: @chaselytle + @alllysaunders Videographer: @isaiahadona Shoes: @bellabelleshoes . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #2018wedding #2018bride #styledshoot #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #weddingday #weddingideas #handlettering #moderncalligraphy #modernscript #weddingcalligrapher #weddinginvitations #weddingstationery #dailydoseofpaper #watercolorflorals #watercolorflowers #watercolorpainting #watercolor #styledshoot #envelopeliner #handmadepaper #wedding #fabulousfancypants #vineyardwedding #winerywedding #venueillustration #weddingvenueinspo #californiawedding
