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!

It's not very often that I get the honor to not only design a friend's Christmas card but also to take the family photos featured on the card! This family is so near and dear to me and shockingly, this is the first time I've ever gotten to design their card! So of course I had to make sure I did a good job! I thought it'd be fun for you all to see a bit of the process too, swipe to see the original painting made for the background of the card's backside... along with photos of the gorgeous gold foil for the front of the card! . . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #watercolor #watercolour #watercolorflorals #watercolorflowers #showmeyourflorals #watercolorwreath #flowerstagram #watercolorpainting #watercolorartist #floralwatercolor #watercolorflorals #floralpainting #watercolorartist #watercolorleaves #artistsofinstagram #createdtocreate #creativpreneur #wreath #watercolorbotanical #botanicaldrawing #christmaspainting #custompainting #handlettering #christmascards #christmascard #goldfoil #christmaspictures #dailydoseofpaper It’s normal to look ahead this time of year. Whether that means prepping to host Christmas with the family at your house or checking off all the gifts for your loved ones even before Halloween, it’s perfectly normal to plan ahead. But I want to challenge us (especially, those of us who hustle for tomorrow like it may never come—I’m talking to myself here) to focus on spending this holiday season in the right now. In the who-cares-if-your-inbox-is-overflowing-emails-can-wait-’til-the-morning, RIGHT NOW. It’s not always easy, but it’s definitely worth it. What are you most looking forward to being fully present for this season? _ Silhouette of sweet little @megan22’s daughter from earlier this year! I thought a photo of a little one best represented why I want to be present this year! . . . #yournewfriendsam #samallencreates #shoplocal #shopsmall #smallbusiness #smallbusinesslove #smallbizlife #creativeentrepreneur #etsyonsale #etsy #etsycommunity #etsyseller #etsyshop #etsyshopowner #etsyfinds #etsygifts #christmasgift #christmasgiftidea #papercut #papercutsilhouette #Christmaspresent #holidaypresent #holidaygifts #silhouette #papersilhouette #paperart #papercraft #papercutting #handlettering #christmasgift Can I give you something? We can all get behind the idea of giving, even if the reason is arbitrary, so with that said, I’m excited to tell you that all December, when you sign up for my email list you will receive a 10% off coupon code to be used in my Etsy shop (and a free printable Christmas menu)! It’s my gift to you, Merry Christmas!

Whenever these milestone roll around, I can't help but reflect on what God has done in mine and my family's lives with this little shop of mine. I never want these posts to come off braggy, and I always think at some point I will stop sharing the milestones. But the more I thought on not sharing, the more I thought about how this shop is not MY accomplishment, but it's GOD'S. From Day One, I gave this idea to God. Whatever would happen would be God's work and He has truly blessed it. Being able to run my shop full time has just been such a miracle... being able to make my own schedule and run off to Disneyland with my toddler; being home for snuggles and stories before naptime; the amazing collaborations and new creative friends... so much has been made possible through opening this shop almost 6 years ago. It's amazing what God can do with a willing heart and open hands. I may not know what the future holds, but for now, I am ever so thankful that God has continued to bless us and open up some amazing doors in our lives! . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #etsy #etsyseller #etsysellersofig #etsysellersofinstagram #shopsmall #shopsmallbiz #watercolorletterings #brushcalligraphy #watercolorartist #watercolor #watercolorpainting #etsysuccess #meetthemaker #socalartist #watercolorartist #communityovercompetition #creativeentrepreneur #creativepreneur #girlboss #calligrafriends #watercolorflowers #handlettering #moderncalligraphy #createdtocreate #christiancreative #watercolorwreath #watercolorflorals
