Summer is all about fun, sun, and making unforgettable memories with friends. If you want to make sure that your child's play dates are a breeze to organize, I’ve created just the thing to help - Contact Cards for Kids!


These handy business card-sized contact cards are a breeze to personalize and hand out to classmates, teammates, or new friends you meet out and about! Simply personalize the card with your details or that of your child's, and you're ready to go. No more scribbling down phone numbers or searching for lost pieces of paper!


They’re designed to stand out, keep you connected, and simplify the process of arranging pool play dates during the summer break.

I got the idea to create these play date cards when my second grader asked me to write down my phone number so he could give it to some friends on the last day of school. Still too young for email or a cell phone, I was fully in charge of organizing his summer activities. I hastily wrote out my information onto paper, wishing I had something that would stand out more and not get lost in the end of year papers that come home for parents. To my surprise, I got texts that afternoon from most of the parents of my son’s friends. That Summer, we had such an easy time organizing meet ups for the kids that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t given out my phone number!

So I went to work creating a collection of calling cards for just this situation. I tried to make them cute and silly for kids, but also something parents would find endearing enough to want to share. These fish might o-fish-ially be my favorite. I just love the summer, pool, beachy feeling of fun they have! They're a conversation starter and a reminder of the joyous summer adventures with friends that lie ahead.


With these play date cards in hand, you can easily connect with other parents and plan pool play dates without the hassle. Whether it's setting up a day of splashing in the water, organizing a picnic by the poolside, or arranging fun games and activities, these cards ensure that you're always just a call or text away.

So, this summer, don't let the logistics of planning play dates weigh you down. Dive into the convenience and charm of our personalized "It's o-fish-ially Summer" play date cards. Stay connected, make waves, and create unforgettable memories with friends!

Stay Connected with Friends this Summer with Personalized Play Date Cards!

Color Your Own Cat Christmas Cards for Kids: a fun activity card to get kids involved in sending out your holiday greetings this year! 

Inspired by my own cat and her love for destroying my Christmas decorations, I designed these cute, and maybe a bit mischievous, holiday kitties in simple line art.  The idea is for kids to be able to color them and send them to their friends, family, teachers, or neighbors.  

It's a great way to get kids more involved in the holiday season of giving!  Giving them creative freedom to color these in, or even add to them with their own drawings, will make them extra special for both your kids and those who receive them in the mail! 

There are three cat designs and each has multiple options for purchase:

-Basic Cards,  (Use colored pencils, markers, or crayons)

-Foil Cards, (Use markers)

-Circular Cards, (Use colored pencils, markers, or crayons)


Coloring Recommendations:

Crayons, colored pencils, and markers are all great options for coloring! All of these will work perfectly on the preselected cardstock for the NON-FOIL cards! 

If you order foil cards, markers will work best. The cardstock has a smooth texture, so do be careful with smudging your markers! 

Because of this, I recommend non-foil cards if small kids will be coloring these. 



Here's a quick reel from my Instagram page so you can see the foil cards in action! 

 Designs Also Available:

return address labels

gift wrap sheets 

pet cat memorial ornaments


Christmas Cats - Coloring Activity Holiday Cards for Kids

This non traditional Christmas card might be my most favorite yet.  I used my illustration of a colorful, blooming garden at sunrise with one little squirrel taking in the beautiful view and added the pun "Joy to the Squirrel" to it.  

See what I did there? 

You all know how much I adore squirrels, so this is just the perfect card for me.  No cold, winter holiday vibes here - only warm pinks and greens with birds flying through the sunrays and flowers growing galore!  

Who says Christmas cards have to be all snowmen and Santas?

Funny Squirrel T-shirt

If you've been to my Instagram then you know it's no secret that I love squirrels. Every morning, I pour myself a cup of coffee and sit in front of my deck door to spend some time with my local squirrel population who are more than happy to come knock on my door for their breakfast snacks.  I keep a bag of sunflower seeds by the door and am always happy to see them and spend a bit of time watching their shenanigans to start my day. 

I'm now designing a collection of quirky, unique, squirrel digital art illustrations. They will feature puns and are sure to make you giggle! This is all part of something I like to call Squirreltember, that time of year when the weather cools off and the squirrels come out of their summer lean-down hungry, making mischief, and ready to find food at all costs!  These new designs are a play on their funny personalities plus some classic songs that fit their mood.  

Starting off with Saturday Nut Fever, a pair of disco dancing squirrels under an acorn shaped disco ball ready to boogie and get down all night long!  The perfect 70's vibe with a side of squirrel.  I'm releasing this design on a t-shirt for now, but I have plans to create a whole line of disco squirrel products in the coming months.  (If there is something you're especially interested in, just shoot me an email!) For now, enjoy the shirt!
