| CHRISTMAS PRIZEAPOLOOZA 2019 | Christmas by Design

You know how some people are just lucky enough to be massively talented as well as perfectly lovely? Well, that is the best way to describe Kel from Kellie Gibson Graphic Design. 

Kellie Gibson Graphic Design has been operating for over 6 years and can help with all your graphic design needs. This includes stationary, logos, invitations as well as custom designed team wear. She will take you all the way from design to the finished product, including printing! 

Kel just loves to design and will tackle anything you throw her way. She says she often finds herself working on party invites one second, then signage and sublimated clothing designs the next! 

She particularily loves working with businesses to find their voice. She says “Your logo is your branding and identity. You want to be the first thought of a perspective client when they need one of your products or services.” With this attitude and the right amount of know-how she can take your business to the next level. 

My husband and I used Kellie Gibson Graphic Design when we needed our business to have a refresh. It was funny, we didn’t even know what we wanted, but thankfully Kel was able to work with us to create something better than we ever could have thought. I found it incredible how she was able to transform our scattered sketches and verbal ideas into something perfect.

| CHRISTMAS PRIZEAPOLOOZA 2019 | Chalk up a good Christmas

Finding a good graphiuc designer is like finding a good hairdresser, once you find one you grab on for dear life and never let them go. That’s exactly how we feel about Chalk. Creative Designs.

Owned and operated by the delightful Amy Keech Chalk. Creative Designs is your one stop shop all things graphic design. Think birthday invitations, wedding invitations & stationery, signage, business stationery & logo design, prints, framing, birthday boards, milestone cards etc.

Chalk. Creative Designs was launched while Amy was on maternity leave with her first little bambino and has grown since that time. Amy says she has had a love for stationery and design and says her high school diaries were the prettiest you’ve ever seen. It was just a natural progression to start her own little business after always designing things for friends and family.

Amy is an absolute perfectionist and spends the extra time making sure fonts are perfect and everything is aligned exactly as it should be. Amy says it’s not about the money but rather a love of creating beautiful designs.

{Christmas Prizeapolooza 2018} Chalk up some fabulous Designs

Here is another little business that I didn’t even know existed until I started this blog! Chalk. Creative Designs is owned and operated by the gorgeous Amy Keech and provides all things graphic design.

Think:  wedding stationary and styling, business stationary, logos, prints, birthday boards, signs, milestones cards and birth announcements.

Chalk. Creative Designs started when Amy was on maternity leave with her first son in 2015. Two more beautiful little cherubs have come along since that with the most recent being only 3.5 weeks old! 

What sets Chalk. Creative Designs apart is that she goes above and beyond for her clients. She often gets little notice for designs needing to be done and always makes sure she comes up with the goods *sleep is for the weak*

Amy is a perfectionist and always wants to have happy clients and I think you can see those results each and every time you look at one of her designs.

{Christmas Prizeapolooza} Words Etc says it best..

One of our favourite new lusts is Words Etc.

Run by the fantastic Jacqui Greig from Forbes (and online!) she offers custom design services for all your invitation, stationary and print needs!Forever always

Words Etc has been running for just over 12 months and is becoming a real frontrunner in the graphic design environment. thanks

I think what makes Jacqui different is that she is so incredibly passionate about good design, and will go above and beyond to ensure the end product matches the client’s vision perfectly. She genuinely loves nothing more than the challenge of finding an exact font, or deciding on the right colour shade to make someone happy. She says it is the small details that really make the difference.rabbit

Jacqui is a journalist by trade, not a graphic designer, and it is this that gives her an advantage in working with clients. She says it allows her and her clients to understand each other without ‘graphic-design-mumbo-jumbo-designer-language’.

Words Etc is growing all the time and 2015 is going to be the biggest year yet! As a girl after my own heart she had a solid soft spot for stationary and is working on her very own collection of social stationary with a distinctive stamp of style! Stay tuned for that Nesters!baby shower

She will also be releasing a whole new collection of prints in the new year.. WOO HOO!

Put Words Etc in your favourites now because I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
