Pinspiration #1

The past year have been a lovely rocky road for me. The beginning of the year was dedicated to the startup of my business. Doing what I love and be inspired by the world around me. It took me a while to find my niche. My sweetspot.
It turned out to be illustration happy moments. Special moments. Or not so special moments that you want to remember. In the middle of the year Your day in a frame was born.
To make and keep memories.
This year I will be expanding the happy memories. I am thinking of birthannouncements, births, and all moments that are worth saving.

To start the new year of good I let myself be inspired on Pinterest. I try to take a pin every day (or at least every few days) and give it a go.

For the first day of the year I have let a pin inspire me to some advice for my little girl. I sure hope she takes most of it for granted.

Your day in a frame

During the last months I was busy with a new project. I was working on designing birthannouncement and during one of those still moments where no babies were born I worked on an illustration of a shoppinglady. She turned out so nice that I desided to draw another one. A "What I wore today" illustration. 

And since my sweet little girl was also dressed nicely I drew her too.

 

The next day I did some nice things so instead of a "What I wore today" I drew a "What I did today" for me and her. The reactions were overwhelming and I desided to make a business out of it. To turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary day and save it for the future. Save all the cute things your baby says or does. Save a memory that you normally would forget.
Your day in a frame was born.
