It is Friday the 13th, thank God!

So, it's Friday the 13th... As long as its Friday, I'm a happy camper! I haven't blogged as much recently with the new gig but I'm still working on a schedule because I miss sharing my journal pages, DIY tips and just straight conversation! Otherwise, I'm loving Instagram (under the name AyeShanti) and I've been sharing so many of my quick writing projects on there. Here are a few of my what I call #cupofquotes:

Have a great weekend,

"Saying I Do" Vid, Instagram and GIVEAWAY

I have to say, I love this season for all the wedding preparations, designing fascinators, jewelry and now Stylin' Knot Bracelets for Happy Couples! Here's a video I put together with some of the wedding designs from my collection for Spring/Summer 2012:

Monday Inspiration: Photo App Phonto

Happy Monday everyone, here's some creative inspiration! So, after Friday's post about my LOVE for Instagram, so many people were messaging me about the apps I use to add the typography to my pictures. Well the one I've been recently using is the app Phonto:

It's very easy:
* Upload your photo
* Touch the screen and add your text
* Try and play around with the various fonts
* Play with colors
AND HAVE FUN!! 


This is the perfect app for quick, on the go playing around with photos! I use these for my Art/Journaling! Here's another photo I took of a fellow Crafter, Scrapbooker, Artist, Instagrammer Williesburgscrapper while enjoying the streets of NYC (Check out her blog: My Analog Life):  

 Enjoy this photo app and send me your pics of some your Phonto Pics! Have a great Monday!

INSTAGRAM Love & Another Sneak Peek

Hey, I’m on INSTAGRAM…and I just LOVE IT! This has given me an opportunity to post photos, (if you don’t know me, I love photography!), also to post it on more than one social media at a time and to meet some amazing people! At first I thought, do I need another social media app, because I think I have enough?? However, when I tried it out and found the ease and fun of connecting with others over the daily pics of our lives, INSTAGRAM truly got my vote! Oh and the filters are just fabulous! I love vintage looks so when I want to get that look, I automatically add it to the photo! If you’re on there, add me at ayeshanti@gmail.com. I’m always posting designs from my studio, my journal and just pretty interesting things!
