Personalized Confections for the Spring

February 20, 2012

Happy Presidents’ Day to everyone. Did you have a day off today? If so, I hope you’ve enjoyed it! It’s a beautiful day here outside the Confections studio, so we enjoyed having the window shades pushed aside for the day to see how pretty it is outside.

New Designs for Personalized Gifts

February 15, 2012

Okay, so I just had to share these precious pictures I just found. Yesterday was a huge celebration of love across the world. Some lovely gestures were even given to unlikely receivers…chimpanzees. I just read an article about Zoo Miami chimps getting personalized Valentine’s Day boxes filled with treats. Look at the (what seems to be) thankful grin these...

Color Blocking at the Grammys

February 13, 2012

Did anyone watch the Grammys last night? I did and I enjoyed looking at all of the fashion that was shown off. We recently blogged about color blocking, and it just so happens that Katy Perry sported a pretty pink, blue and black color block dress for the pre-Grammy brunch. We love it! The hot pink and bright aqua colors make me wish it were spring time already! I can’t wait to start using those colors in my everyday life again.

Personalized Stationery for Valentine's Day

February 3, 2012

Valentine’s Day is approaching and maybe you could use some cute stationery to write letters to your Valentine. Everyone deserves a little love on February 14 and a handwritten letter should do the trick. It was so fun growing up in school and having Valentines passed out to each student.

The Color Blocking Trend

February 1, 2012

Something that we have had fun with lately is using color blocking in our designs. This has become a huge trend over the past year or so and still lives on. Whether it is bright colors or classic black and white, you can’t go wrong with color blocking. You can find this trend anywhere. Most people recognize it in fashion, but you can also look for it in pillows, furniture, paintings and anything else design.

As of today, we have added two new color...
