Roseville Designs 2014 planning is still under way, and I’m excited to share with you the next phase: website redesign! Many of us creative business owners desperately want to update our website, but don’t want to foot the bill (which is often a big one!) for a full-on web designer. Enter coder extraordinaire Brandi Bernoskie. Brandi […]
Father’s Day is just around the corner. So even though it’s supposed to be all about my Dad on Sunday, I can’t help but think about how he’s influenced me. I absolutely get my creative intuitions from my Mom, but as I’ve mentioned time and time again on this blog, having your own creative business […]
I think you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t like a good peony. It’s the kind of thing you want to fill a room with and roll around in (second only to a room full of golden retriever puppies). It’s an incredibly gorgeous flower that comes in a variety of colors, shapes + sizes. […]
I’ve been hard at work over the last few weeks. Okay, I’ve been hard at work since I decided to take this business dream out for a spin, but more specifically I’ve been in full-on planning mode. 2014 wedding season preparation is under way for lots of newly engaged couples, and I’ve been taking a hard look […]
Lately I’ve been working on a lot of branding projects. I really love logo design and creating a look + feel for a business.

She was crafting + creating before the term “DIY” even existed, and whatever project I came home with from school we always […]

Don’t forget to show your Momma some love this year…It’s formatted for easy printing on an 8.5×11″ sheet with crop marks. Download it here, write a special note inside + be prepared for lots of motherly affection!
I originally wrote this post about vintage stamps for wedding invitations back in 2013 (10 years ago!). It’s such an important topic—one that my couples are asking about more + more each season—that I knew it was time for an update. I hope this post about using vintage stamps and how to use special […]
I get A LOT of emails every day. Between my 9-5 gig, the design business and my personal life, I’m managing a bunch of inboxes and people in need of information. Trimming down my inbox means deleting or marking as read those emails which aren’t too important (mostly clothing sales + Staples coupons), and this […]
Today I’m sharing advice for vendors at bridal expos. When I googled “advice for vendors at expos” I came up with diddly squat, so hopefully this post will help others!Bridal expos get a really bad rap. Many are held in football stadium-sized venues where ultimately the brides are just looking for free stuff. There, I said […]
