Fall is finally in the air here in Austin! I'm excited for the crisper weather and the changing leaves. Here's a little doodle to celebrate.
Happy Cactus Designs is celebrating its one year anniversary this month, so what better doodle to celebrate than a fun birthday cake! I fell in love with a cake I saw on Pinterest and used it as inspiration for this little celebratory doodle!
Happy Cactus is celebrating its one year anniversary this month and I thought the perfect card of the week this week would be one of the first designs I ever did - the Garden Blues floral patterned note card. Before I ever thought of actually launching a paper goods company, I spent a lot of time doodling and drawing, making cards for friends and family members. A lot of my doodling gravitated to florals. I was thrilled with how this particular design turned out - from the whimsical flowers to the array of blues. It will always be one of my favorites.
A few weeks back, I featured a cactus on the Wednesday doodle. I'm back this week with even more - a trio of cacti!
Our own Happy Cactus has been thriving this summer. What once was a tiny little cactus has turned into a huge Happy Cactus that can't stop growing. It loves the Texas sun! To read the store behind the Happy Cactus, click here.

This week's card of the week is one of Happy Cactus' bestsellers and a personal favorite of mine - "Welcome Baby Elephants" in blue and pink.
A simple little elephant drawing turned into such a cheerful and fun baby card. Elephants with their trunks pointing up are good luck, too! You can check out both version in the store here.
I've used this same pattern for personalized flat note cards which make for a perfect baby gift. Recently, I've been working on some other animal designs that I hope to share with you soon!
Update: This doodle was used on one of our most popular greeting cards, Thinking of You Lavender. Find it in the shop here.
Happy Wednesday! This week, I worked on drawing of a bunch of lavender. I love the crisp and clean smell of lavender.
It reminds me of a trip I took to the south of France a number of years ago and the lavender growing all over Provence. I came across a few pics that helped jog my memory of this beautiful place!
