Tanya


One of our repeat customers wanted a unique, classy, and elegant sign for her mother for Christmas.  Together, we collaborated to chose an Edwardian font, flowers, and scroll pattern in blue to create this sign.  We attached a sheer white ribbon for hanging the sign.  Merry Christmas, Tanya!

Natalie (ballerina)

A repeat customer came back to us a baby sign for her sister-in-law.  Natalie's sign was designed to match her Percale Ballerina bedding.  We used a Curlz-based font, alternating the colors of the ballerina's tutus.  We added a hand-made pair of ballet slippers at the end, and three mini-tutus around the N, t, and l, and the sign was complete!  Our congratulations go out to the new mom-to-be!

Kylie

Kylie is a sixteen year old who loves the throwback generation.  This sign used a groovy beatnik font, rafta colors, and elephants~ definitely a unique combination.  We truly hope that it is exactly what she wanted.

Taylor (Runescape)

This particular sign request was fun to work on, but it certainly did stretch us beyond our realm of typical signs.  Welcome to the world of Runescape!  It took us a few trials, but hopefully the final product is something Taylor, a 13 year old gaming fan, enjoys and we hope that he recognizes the elements of his game in the sign.

Ashlend and Mary (Duke and KU basketball)



Two signs for two sisters this Christmas!  Mary cheers on our local favorite, KU, while Ashlend is a die hard Duke fan.  On top of this, we spotted an OSU sweatshirt in the family!  We're sure that March brings plenty of madness in this household.  ;)  We hope that everybody likes their signs.

Ryon's sign (Winnie the Pooh personalized name sign)

Christian's grandmother really liked her sign, so she decided it would be the perfect gift for a special former's student's first baby.  We used a font based on Curlz and added Winnie the Pooh- perfect for a precious new baby girl!

Cocktail Hour! (custom made kitchen sign, wooden kitchen sign)

Somebody contacted us to make a sign for her sister, something very special for a birthday.  After many emails back and forth, the result was a unique Cocktail Hour sign for the kitchen!  We were able to include a couple of favorite drinks- sangria and a cosmo, along with a wine bottle.  Thanks for collaborating on a fun and different sign.  :)

The final sign, all done!

Christian's Sign (Minnie Mouse)

Christian's parents wanted a Minnie Mouse sign to match her Baby Boom Mosaic themed nursery.  After deciding on a fun font and matching colors, the final results were a new style for us and a unique sign that we hope becomes a keepsake for Christian.
~ PS ~ Christian arrived a few hours after getting her sign!  Congrats to the new mom and dad on a beautiful girl!


Maci (princess)

Here is a fun sign we did for a colleague.  She wanted something designed around a princess theme for a pre-teen.  With a shorter name we went with a new bold font.

Maxwell (teddy bear)

Here is one we did for a client's grandson.  A fuzzy teddy bear to go with his tan and blues stripes.

Friends and family custom name signs (Tinkerbell and Teacher)

It was fun to do this for a teacher friend and a family member.  We did a new font that was hand drawn for Mrs. Schuster.  And a bold pattern to go with Tinkerbell.  Hope they both enjoy them.


Jasmine (Dora)

We did sign for a long time client, who is passing it on to her friend's granddaughter.  We hope the little girl loves it.

Alayna (monkeys)

We are always thankful for repeat business. Sandy ordered one of our very first signs: Tristin.  For this new sign she went with a different font and accented that with some fun monkeys.  We hope that Alayna enjoys her new sign.



P.S.  Unfortunately the colors in the picture came out a little off.  The true colors are more a soft pink and lavender.

Ella, Kayson, Camden

With these signs, we reached 101 total done for clients!


Kayson’s dinosaur sign was designed to match little brother Camden’s block sign- hopefully he will like it when he arrives this fall. Ella’s cute and girly sign was designed to match her cute and girly personality! We used a new font for her letters- a few more curves reflect her fun side.

Madison and Dakota (princess and Elmo)

Here are two signs for a brother and sister.  For Madison we did pink princess paper for the letters accented with silver crown and princess stickers.  For Dakota we did a big Elmo at the front then smaller Elmos on the letters.  We hope they enjoy their signs.

Jack and Liam (My First ABC)

We did these signs for Jack and Liam, soon-to-be-born twins on the East Coast. The signs were designed to match the Kidsline My First ABC bedroom set. We tried to make the signs as unique and special as these two little guys will be!   Thanks to Laura for all her ideas with these signs!

Drake- custom made baby shower gift (boy's custom wood sign, blocks design)

After collaborating with us to make a sign for her niece Amber, our client wanted a unique gift to match her friend’s baby room décor, so she returned to us with some unique ideas for baby Drake.  The result was a completely original block design, with slanted edges, frames around the blocks and 3-d letters that make the sign stand out.  After many trial runs, this is what the final design looks like.

Alissa and Julian custom name signs ( Ladybugs and Mickey Mouse )

Alissa picked out these fun 3d ladybugs for her sign.  A pink and white picnic pattern for the letters finished it off.  For Julian it was classic Mickey Mouse with alternating solids trimmed in black.  We hope both brother and sister like their signs.


Alyssa- custom wooden name sign for a teen (music and dance)

 Here's one that we did for a teenage niece that's into dance and music.  Her walls are painted with bright, bold stripes.  We went with a mature black with a sparkly swirl pattern.  The edges were painted a deep purple so it would stand on its own against the stripes.

Tanner ( Mickey Mouse )

This one goes out to a nephew that likes Mickey Mouse.  We went with a Mickey at the beginning and end, with solid colors outlined in black.  This sign also marks a new font style for us.  We hope it is a big hit when Tanner gets it.

Isabella and Noah ( Disney's Prinesses and Cars )

We made these two signs for Mike's grandkids.  They both are fans of Disney, so we went with these five princesses and a bunch of Cars for Noah.  Hope they both like their signs.

Lulu (puppy theme)

Here's a fun sign for a welcomed new addition.  Puppy adoption is not only good for the dog, but also the new family.  We did this sign for Kono awhile back and were happy to be able to do this new sign for Lulu as she joins Kono in her new home.

Amber ( CoCaLo Jacana )

This was a fun sign to create.  It is for a sister-in-law's baby shower.  Inspired by their CoCaLo Jacana themed baby's room we did hand cut pink giraffe spots and white and brown hand painted edge stripes.  Add in some 3D animals topped with a white ribbon.  We hope the shower is great fun for everyone.

Gaby and Dominic (flowers, sport animals)

Gaby and Dominic's mom sent us some pictures of their two rooms to help match up colors and ideas.  Working closely with her we came up with these hand made flowers to go with the purple and white stripes.  She picked out this fun leaf pattern paper to go along with the animal and sports theme.

Audrey, Barbara, and Yair (Hello Kitty and Cars)

We needed two versions of Hello Kitty that were still close to each other.  We did two shades of pink on the trim and different pink paper patterns.  For the Cars they went with the cap letters and Cars all around.
