Mexico City

I've been trying to figure out what kind of plaque to make for my wonderful brother and sister in law, when it came to me, Mexico City! They served a mission there for my church and were in charge of the visitors' center which was next door to the Mexico City temple, which is the focal point of the plaque.  I wanted to write the sentiment in Spanish (my first!) and I investigated flowers grown in Mexico.  This may be my favorite plaque so far.  I hope they like it as much as I do!

New Baby!

My niece just had a new baby and her name is Presley!  I thought that I needed to create a name plaque for someone with such a cute name.  Her room is pink (natch) and I love polka dots.  I'll post this on my Etsy account, too.

Monsters revisited

Remember the monster plaque I made for my friends' baby, Max?  Well it's his first birthday and they have asked me to make a name plaque to match.  It was so fun to go back and rethink this.

Temple wedding

A dear friend, who I have know since she was born was married this spring in the LDS temple in Manti, Utah. For their wedding gift, I thought a picture of that beautiful temple would be perfect and of course "Families are Forever" would be the sentiment. She and her husband also requested the accent colors that are their favorites.

Wedding gift

As I just mentioned in my last post, my daughter got married July 2 and she loves all things nautical. So, I designed a plaque for her and her new husband with that in mind. (I hope he likes nautical stuff, too!) I used the New Haven lighthouse as the inspiration for the theme of the plaque. By the way, the semaphore flags spell "Eternity".

Wedding ornaments

My baby girl got married in July! In creating ornaments for the trees, I thought dream, love and eternity were perfect themes for a wedding, and they added such a fun touch to the many beautiful trees in the beautiful yard.
