Branding: Lis Amelie

April 20, 2017 Lavandas Studio

When Lidia came to me about her new logo and branding design, she already knew the direction she wanted to go. She even had the logo icon drawn out on a piece of paper. It had to be something simple and elegant with an edge. She loves metallic, so we decided on rose gold which goes very well with everything she already had. We also wanted to add just a little bit of color to make it pop and went with a beautiful mint color. Just perfect for the dark grey and rose gold. It was fun to recreate the icon on Illustrator and from there on play with the pattern for the rest of her designs. Isn’t it beautiful? I love how it turned out.

You can find more of her work on FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, and YOUTUBE. Pay her some visit and say hello. :)

After the logo was designed we sat down and made a list of the things that she would need for her clients and for a comfortable and productive workplace. This is what we came up with.

I hope you enjoyed this little insight into my design work.

Dream big.

He didn’t have to, but he did

February 1, 2017February 1, 2017 Lavandas Studio

I was sitting on the bathroom floor, my head over the toilet, when he walked in. He rubbed my back and started to hold my hair. He held my hair while I threw up everything that I still had in me. He held my hair while I washed my face. He waited until I was ready, took me to my bed and made sure I could fall a sleep. That’s what I call unconditional love, being there for your loved one when they need you the most.

So this Valentine’s Day, give your loved one more than just a card or a gift, give them yourself and your unconditional love, no matter what. Here are some free Valentines cards to include with your unconditional actions of unconditional love. I made these cards in collaboration with Erika from Simply Et Cetera. She is such an amazing mom and she has such a gift for writing, you have to go check her out.

For the download, all you have to do is click on the image and save it. Just scroll down, they are available in English, German, and Portuguese. I hope you like them and don’t forget to give your feedback.

A friend once told me

January 29, 2017 Lavandas Studio

…with every child I will be learning something about myself. With both of my kids I’m learning patience. I guess that is something that I need two kids for. Patience is my weakest spot. I don’t like to wait. If I get something in my head I need to do it know. When I was ready to have kids, I wanted to get pregnant the next month. That’s when God started to teach me about patience. I got pregnant three years later. Back then I didn’t understand why God is doing that to me. Now I do, it took me four years to understand that I have to be patient because God knows when the time is right. Now I have this big ideas flying around my head and I just want to start. I’m struggling so much with patience right now. This year started differently than what I planed for. My kids, my hubby and I have been sick all January. I once read, that your new year will depend on how you spend your first three weeks. Seriously? I did take it serious, until two weeks went by and I couldn’t do much and then week three went by and I just think; ‘wow, I guess this year won’t be my year after all.’ Forth week went by and I’m just down. My baby is sick again. I lost all of my patience and than I hear his voice for the first time so clear like never before. “I’m here, I’m right with you!” It’s not about how our first three weeks go by, it’s about so much more. It’s about how I turn the three weeks around and let God lead me because he is right there with me. So, patience momma, your time will come to turn all of your Ideas into reality.

Feel free to download this little reminder that God is in your midst. (Just Click on the Picture and save it.)

Happy New Year Friends!!

The last few months I’ve been thinking a lot about my future and my dreams. My biggest problem is that I have too many dreams and ideas. Even my husband says that I have too many hobbies and that I should start choosing. :) Continue reading “Something new is coming!” →

Celma & Marques

September 14, 2016September 15, 2016 Lavandas Studio

This day couldn’t have gone better. One of the best things about this day was seeing the family’s unity; I saw it especially in the way that they all danced together. There was so much love and community!

Celma was a beautiful bride! She had her hair done in a long braid and her lips were painted a shade of pink. You could tell that she was glowing which only added to her beauty! I love happy brides, they make taking photos so much more fun.

Marques had waited for this day forever so watching them finally starting this new chapter in their lives was so exciting! Everyone had been rooting for them all along. They are truly a match made in heaven. Continue reading “Celma & Marques” →
