This past weekend and in the studio this morning James and I are preparing new photos of our stationery for our new website MyPersonalArtist.com. Right now, I am grateful for my photography college courses and product photography prep experience I had before starting MPA in 1998.

{ GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED }

I am so delighted to offer this giveaway today! After receiving a request for hand painted apple note cards design, AND a recent visit to my local apple orchard I just had to host a giveaway.

Today we are giving away to ONE lucky winner …

50 white hand-folded note cards with my hand painted apples splashed with red glitter. The “J” will be changed to the winner’s monogram, 50 hand lined watercolor apple envelopes with a return address printed under a yummy fall apple.

During the late summer and fall months my family and I would ride out to Sunny Slope Orchard here in Ohio to sample apple butter, apple sauce, and after our trip we would eat ice cream in a nearby gazebo overlooking the orchard. They have lovely apple topiaries lining the shops lot, shown above.

Choosing the best purple wedding color combos is a piece of cake. Research pinterest, google images, and more for ideas. Sample cloth swatches in hand and compare purple with other colors you love. When adding a third color stick with a neutral color like gray, taupe, gold, silver, black or white to keep the color combo elegant. Or add a lighter hue of one of the two colors for the third color. My favorite combo is purple, pink, and lilac / lavender! Splashes of natural green are also lovely as shown in this wedding bouquet.
