Monday Inspiration

Posted on: August 20th, 2012 by Hannah Beasley 5 Comments

//What I’ve been inspired by lately.// My favorite? “Do it with passion or not at all.” I think I need to put that on my wall – it is so true! Passion for what you do is truly the key to being successful. It’s what drives you on to reach higher and strive for more, what forces you to keep going even when the going’s a little rough. Loving what you do is a gift that should be cherished and made to grow even more.

(I’m loving collecting these images and sharing them…should I do it weekly? Comment and let me know if that would interest any of you.)

Petals and Freckles // Blog Design

I have another finished project to share! Alexandria from Petals and Freckles is a super sweet soon-to-be-mom, blogger, and tea drinker – and she wanted her blog to have a fresh look in time for the birth of her son. We talked a lot about her style and the look she was going for, and ended up coming up with a really fun styleboard full of earthy colors, textures, and some really neat fonts. I loved working on the design with Alexandria, and I’m really happy with how it came out! Be sure to visit her blog and leave her some love!

Being Creative

Posted on: August 16th, 2012 by Hannah Beasley No Comments

It takes courage to step outside your comfort zone and do something different. When you’ve settled into a certain way of life, into a certain pattern, the idea of doing something unique can be a little scary. There’s always that urge to keep doing what feels comfortable, to never venture outside of your box. After all, what will others say about your ideas or your creations? But where is the life in never being different, in never being creative? It is our uniqueness that makes us who we are, it is our creativity that sets us apart from every other person in the world. So don’t be afraid to stand out from others and let your creativity take you where it will. Enjoy every second of it.

Being creative takes courage. And it’s worth it.

Embellish Paper

I just finished up this project with the lovely Katie from Embellish Paper! She is a very talented calligrapher and soon-to-be-mommy who wanted to really get her business going. She told me that she loves all things chic and vintage with a modern flair, and that her favorite colors are peach and teal. I really love what we came up with – I think we succeeded in really showcasing her beautiful art while letting who she is shine through. Check it out at ww.embellishpaper.com, and be sure to give her a like on Facebook!

I’m so excited about my latest project – we’re working with lots of earthy colors and textures. This is the style board I created for her…definitely super fun to put together! I love it when my clients’ styles are like my own, because it’s just that much more fun to work on. I can’t wait until I can share the finished product!
