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!

Let’s play a game. Take stock, right this second, of 3 things you’re grateful for. Feel free to elaborate, or keep it super simple. I’m staying simple, because I think this list speaks for itself: I'm currently so very grateful for yoga videos on Amazon Prime Video, the constant state of reflection that is the new year, and for photographers who create magic such as this! It doesn’t matter how big or little (or random like mine!!), but share your list in the comments below! _ Photographer: @jaciemarguerite Venue: @Tumbleweedsanctuary Planner/Stylist/Creative Director: @Jessicaschmucklephotography Host: @styledshootsacrossamerica Day of Assistant: @katherineelainephotography Professional Models (Kristina & Areg): @krisarphotography @kristina.fx Professional Bridal gown (Krisitna): @bhldn Stationery/Calligrapher: @samallencreates Bridal Jewelry: @nordstrom @anthropologie Mala Prayer Beads: @mala_wanderer Sage Bundles: @taylor.spurrier Candles: @joshuatreecandleco Cake: @mirandas_sweet_treats Bridal Jacket: @revellebridal @themrs.jacket Bridal Hat: @tinytruckerco Bridal shoes: @converse @bellabelleshoes @badgleymischabride Ring Box: @the_mrs_box Tux: @friartux Silks: @aribbonsnest @honeysilks Catering: @thenaturalsisterscafe Florist: @ks_floral_concepts HMUA: @bowsandarrowhair @krystylhernandez Styling Mat: @stylingmat Agates/Place cards/Cake topper: @suspend.it Bridal Details: @kaifragrance Styling/Rentals: @touchedbytime Large succulents: @thecactusmart Macrame: @macramama REVIEW of 2018, PART THREE is LIVE #ontheblog! I really adore making these review posts… to be able to see all the work I created each month all in one place amazes me… God has blessed me so abundantly with so many awesome projects and clients. I’m so thankful for Him who gave me these talents that I can share with the world. I hope you love reviewing these summer months as much as I did making everything! ✨ One of the beauties included in the recap is this blush and gold invitation suite! @gabrielaoswaldphoto and @loukiaarapian were such a dream team styling and capturing these images! Head on over to the link in my profile and then click on BLOG to see more projects (many of which I haven't shared on here yet!). _ Photo @gabrielaoswaldphoto Planning & styling @loukiaarapian Stationery @samallencreates Rings @aquadeoro.ch Ring box @esselesf Vintage stamps @inkonpaper.ch Flowers @louloudia_art_floral Chairs @maison_options . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #2019wedding #2019bride #styledshoot #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #weddingday #weddingideas #weddingplanning #handlettering #moderncalligraphy #modernscript #weddingcalligrapher #weddinginvitations #weddingstationery #dailydoseofpaper #watercolorpainting #watercolor #envelopeliner #handmadepaper #wedding #fabulousfancypants #weddingvenueinspo #isaidyes #bepsokewedding #fineartwedding Dear customer: can I share a secret with you? Can I explain why I spend endless hours working on my craft? Because I LOVE it. I like watching the paint spill out from my brush and the feeling of reading a happy email from my customers after their guests receive their invites. I spend hours pouring myself into my work because I love it...and I love making you happy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #yournewfriendsam #samallencreates #handlettering #handmadefont #moderncalligraphy #modernscript #weddinginvitation #weddinginspiration #weddinginvitations #weddinginvites #weddinginspo #weddingideas #dailydoseofpaper #calligratype #brushlettering #brushcalligraphy #watercolorlettering #watercolor #watercolorcalligraphy #envelopeaddressing #envelopeart #weddinginvites #shesaidyes #watercolorlettering #2019wedding #weddingenvelopes #weddingcalligraphy #envelopecalligraphy #wedsocal #weddingplanning Do you guys listen to podcasts?? I only just started and have totally fallen in love with @laracasey's podcast. I started listening to it thinking it would be motivating for goal planning for work, BUT it's totally flipped my perspective on #allthethings! I've taken in so much from listening to her, but there's two points that have stood out to me the most... As I listened to it on my drive to a photo shoot last weekend, Lara posed the question, "what do you want your life to look like at 80?" My answer to that would be to have my husband at my side, surrounded by our kid/or hopefully kids and grandkids! She then says to frame all your choices in life around that goal—which may make total sense to most people but I think I had lost sight of that vision as sometimes it's hard for me to see past the to-do list at hand. Life changing for sure. 🌱 And her second point was the reminder that it's okay to grow slow! We need to give the things in our lives time to take root and to grow up, even if it's growing up through the dirt (and fertilizer!). There's nothing wrong with slow growth as long as you're growing—and you may not see the growth at first either as the roots begin to break out and take hold. Give it time to see the fruits of your labor. 🌿 Do these points resonate with you too?! Tell me about it in the comments, and let me know of any other podcasts I should be listening to because I'm totally hooked! . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #brushcalligraphy #brushletering #watercolorlettering #handlettering #modernscript #watercolor #powersheets #cultivatewhatmatters #laracasey #communityovercompetition #creativeentrepreneur #creativepreneur #handletterer #girlboss #etsyseller #calligrafriends #californiacalligrapher #socalcalligraphy #findyourhappy #artforaliving #christianartist #createdtocreate #christiancreative #tellyourstory #shepaintstruth #intentionalliving #progressnotperfection
