So I know this girl named Katy. I think she is pretty rad.
She had me at hello when I read this post.
It changed everything for me in this weird world of blogging. Everything. Turned it all upside down in the best possible way.
I am thankful that I can call her a friend.
She is a gracious hostess. Makes a mean salad. Agrees with me that paper straws are only good for looking pretty in a jar. Loves her husband well. Is a phenomenal mother. Is crazy for Justin Bieber. Possesses no love for cats. Is hilarious. Has a giant heart. Makes really, really, really, pretty things.
Here are some of the said pretty things.
Pretty Christmas cards to be exact.
One of which is going to be our Christmas card.
Yessssss.
God bless the USPS.
Two of her designs are benefiting two of my favorite causes.
Did I mention they were super pretty too?
Love.
So perfect.
She even loves to make custom holiday cards. You know, in case you are dying for a Justin Bieber card. She can totally make that happen. Unless it is a Justin Bieber card showcasing photos of your cat. That is where she draws the line.
Katy has graciously offered one winner their choice of premade card designs.

Her cards are awesome. It is also awesome that her name is Katy, and my name is Katie. And it is doubly awesome that her husband is Scott, and my husband is Scott.
ReplyDeleteLove the cards! So many creative and amazing people. I want to try this mean salad.
ReplyDeleteThose cards are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHer cards are wonderful...it's so nice to find cards with the message we want to send! Thank you for introducing her!

ReplyDeleteoh my word. so much to say. that post was so what i needed to read today. i LOVE blogging. i really do. it is such a great outlet for me. i get my words and my thoughts out. but i do so struggle with the comparison and the striving (yuck) and the feeling that i'm not doing it right or as good as others. so thankful to read that today. THANKYOU. also, her shop...lovelovelove. everything is so stinking pretty.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS cards.....lovely blog posts.....I found a new blog to add to my daily reading. ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards and will definitely check out her blog.
ReplyDeleteWent to Walmart yesterday to pick up some Coconut Oreos- they're gone- did not make brownies w/them- everyone ate them, gone in 5 minutes! I hope I win since I am SUPER NON CREATIVE, but I heard I'm funny. :-)

Ah!! I was just thinking today that it was time to sit down & figure out what to do about our card! I love, love, love that I can order a card that will benefit something so wonderful & amazing. Thank you. Awesome. Also. I do not want a Justin Bieber, cat card. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeletethose cards are just too cute! thanks for sharing her site!
ReplyDeletecynthia
Love her designs, especially Christ's Love. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI just rec'd my first print from Katy's shop a couple days ago and it is absolute perfection. Packaged adorably, high quality, and looks fabulous in my home. The best part? It reminds me of things I need to remember ("All of my life in every season you are still God"...in charcoal, of course:))
ReplyDeleteThe cards are beautiful.....I need to get beautiful pictures taken like hers too.
ReplyDeleteI love Katy's designs! She did my blog design and it's amazing!! I so love the "joy to the world" card!! Hope I win...what a blessing that would be!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING Christmas cards!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love these cards and their messages!
ReplyDeleteLove them!!
ReplyDeleteI love her cards - I was browsing them earlier!
ReplyDeleteKaty's designs are so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing her site! :)
ReplyDeleteI love her Christmas cards!! I wish that I could have her design a special card just for me and my little family :)
ReplyDeleteI love her chalkboard card and so many others. I do hope I win so I'd have to make a choice! eliece@live.com
ReplyDeleteLoved her blog and her designs are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE "the earth receives her king" design. I am traveling to Ethiopia in June & it reminds me that souls all over the world celebrate our Savior. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks for sending us to such lovely creations! I love how she uses so many different colors and unique designs. LOVE!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors she uses!! Really liking the aqua with the red! Thanks for being so rad!
ReplyDeleteI had JUST look at her Esty shop before reading this post! :) Love the Share the Joy card, and so many others...thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the gorgeous designs all over the blogosphere this year! I feel like I need to buy one from each designer or I'll feel bad! But if I win a design from Katy... Well that'll make me feel better :)
ReplyDeleteLove those cards....wish I had some professional shots of me and my kids now!
ReplyDeleteDude, I've been coveting her chalkboard-y card ever since I saw it on Pinterest. Fingers crossed! :)
ReplyDeleteHow talented is she!!! Thanks for a great offer!!!
ReplyDeleteI love love love these... already decided I would buy one of the Christmas card designs. Getting it free... even better!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so excited for this! I've been intending to order something from Katy for Christmas this year...but maybe I'll win! Thanks so much to both of you.
ReplyDeleteKaty's blog and etsy shop are delightful! I have a confession to make. Last year I bought these super cute eco friendly Christmas cards at Target. I bought Christmas postage stamps at the post office. And I didn't mail one card out. Yikes. I have super adorable five year boy/girl twins that I'm sure would smile gleefully for a Christmas card to mail out - double sided - all I need to do is get them printed!!! Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeletebeautiful designs!!!
ReplyDeleteYou were right-- she does make really, really, really pretty things!
ReplyDeleteShe is incredibly talented and I loved looking at her shop. Too many cute options, don't even know which one I would pick :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously! I hope I win this! I have been looking everywhere for gorgeously design Christmas cards that are Christ-centered and I think I found what I am looking for!
ReplyDeleteI love that these are about Christ (rare) and that it's a digital copy! It's always such a mess to try to figure out how many cards you actually need AND then there's always those that send you a card that you didn't expect! Hello run on sentence!
ReplyDeleteKaty and her work are lovely. The cards are great, and seriously, I need those encouraging prints in my life, in every room.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie,
Suzanne
Love these cards and her blog. Thanks for the opportunity!
