I’m not a florist by any means but I looooooove flowers!!!! Made this small arrangement yesterday and was sniffling and sneezing up a storm!! (I’m allergic to a lot of the flowers in this pic) i need constructive criticism florist friends! How can I take this to the next level!??! I was going for the “oh I picked these from a field and put them in a vase” look haha. #imafakeflorist #justforfun
It’s my eight year wedding anniversary today! Anyone else get married in 2010? It was before Pinterest, and weddings were a lot simpler (and cheaper). I’m leaving the sappy stuff inside the card (since hubby doesn’t have IG anyways so he won’t see this). But the last 8 years have been absolutely perfect. Here’s to forever more :) #8yearanniversary #simplecards

Oh man. My family has been through a whirlwind of so many viruses this past two months...right when things start looking normal. BAM! slap in the face lol! Relapse. But weddings and first birthdays still happen and deadlines don’t go away. Here’s a super super fast wedding invite I did-quite literally from painting to printing all done in one weekend. 😳 eep! And considering the circumstances, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out lol #getitdone #whatsickdays #deadlines

Happy Sunday! Im pretty sure I’ve said this before....I don’t know about other painters out there but when I sit down to paint, I will know right away if it’s a good day or bad day to paint. Some days, everything I do turns out awful. Like AWFUL. Then other days I think, oh, that’s not too bad. Maybe it’s like this for me because I don’t paint regularly....? Is this just me!??Maybe I just need to practice more. But yeah, this is why I tend to avoid taking watercolor heavy weddings :/ I love it but it scares me too haha. Sigh, I choose my mouse over a brush any day. #whichiswhyimagraphicdesigner #wisteria #floralwatercolor #watercolorflorals
Annnd because IG doesn’t let you post vertical and horizontal shots in one go, here are some more shots of the paper goods! I didn’t include photos of the amazing cakes and sweets because I want @sweetleemade to share those haha but they were absolutely perfect! Cindy and her team totally knocked it out of the park!

I’m always slow with posting picture....I’m sure you’ve seen pictures of this amazing party already....but here’s more haha! I had the pleasure of helping @sweetleemade with her daughter’s first birthday! I got to design the bear logo (because Caris looks like a cute bear hehe), created graphics and some fun paper goods. Illustration is not my forte but it came out okay I think? Haha...what I do know was that it was soooooo fun working with Davina and Cindy. Apart from me, the vendors that came together for this were top notch so everything looked 😍😍😍 on the day of. I’m so happy I was able to be a small part of Caris’s Bday! Thank you Cindy!

Hexagon invitation suite! This is the third time I’ve design this particular type of invitation (die-cut trifold). Definitely a labor of love (I hand cut each one) but always fun to see the finished product! This wedding happened yesterday!! Yay!! Congrats to the lovely bride and groom 😘 always a pleasure working with easy going, sweet couples :) thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!
🎶Let’s go fly a kite~ 🎵can you guess which movie this song is from???? Starring one of my favorite actresses ;) this movie and sound of music was my jam growing up! Made a fun print for my friends son who also loves this movie!! #supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Thank you @dianasylee and @bass601 for letting me be a part of your special moment. You both look stunning!! #glowing #tbt
We are saying BYE to The Things Hannah Loves and saying HELLO to Paper Haven Ink! I’ve been wanting to change my IG handle/company name for a looong time. I never really liked that my name was in it, and it really had nothing to do with what I do lol. The name started as a blog I made way back and I never changed it when the blog turned into a business. But....last week (I know this was seriously a last minute, let’s do it, sort of moment) I told myself, I’m going to change it come 2018. And so, @paperhavenink came to be! A ‘paper haven’ where you can order all your custom paper goods as well as items handlettered in ‘ink’...and oh yeah my daughters name is Haven lol. (Her first birthday Paper Haven Shop really paved the way for this name change). Anyhoo, this month we will be slowly transitioning from @thethingshannahloves to @paperhavenink...but fear not, the former handle will actually be replacing my personal account so it’s not really being discarded....just repurposed! Thank you to everyone for all the support throughout the years, I pray for even more of your never ceasing encouragement as we venture into 2018 with a fresh new face!
