awesome & affordable business cards

I recently ordered some new business cards and there was a big smile on my face when I opened the box.

I had them printed by Vistaprint. I have ordered from them a few times and have been really happy. I have searched and searched and I cannot find a more affordable website. I just ordered a friend's wedding invitations through Vistaprint and scored the best deal. (We're talking 500 invitations, 500 envelopes, & 500 inserts for just under $100) You can even click here to save $10 on your order.

I haven't ever used their templates, I've always uploaded my own complete design, but the process is easy and I've always been satisfied. I always keep a few business cards with me and I include them in my packaging.

NOTE: this is not a sponsored post. I have just been really happy with Vistaprint.

TJ & Brandi | Engagement pictures

I met Brandi while I was serving a mission in Philadelphia. The first day we met, I told her I would design her wedding invitation someday. We were both planning on that being a year or so from now, but I could not be happier for Brandi and TJ and I was so excited to get to take their engagement pictures! We ventured out to Antelope Island, as per TJ's request. I was giddy with delight when I saw all the gorgeous places to shoot. And then we got out of the car. Oh my BUGS! I'm still in amazement that you can't see a single flying critter in any of the pictures. See that blanket? Yeah, it's sole purpose was to afford (albeit limited) protection from the sheets of bugs. I could only take a few pictures in a row before I had to shake the gnats off my arm and out of my nose. It was insane! But this gorgeous couple suffered through it and laughed the whole time.

that time I tried to take a picture of my family...

We went to visit my grandma and grandpa in St. George for Spring Break. While we were there, I thought I would take a quick family photo. See how well that went...

more photobooth props

About an eternity ago, I made these photo booth props. Today I am happy to share some new props with you. Available in both PDF and SVG formats, they are sure to make your party planning a cinch. Best of all, these files are completely free.

Read on for the file links and some shop news.

You can download thePDF here or the SVG here.

Postcards are now available in the shop! I just learned something super awesome. Apparently if you write a letter/postcard to a Disney character, they send back a signed postcard. Instructions here. I don't know about you, but Dumbo is about to get some happy mail. (:

Know anyone with a happy business that would like to carry Kensie Kate products? I'm currently accepting wholesale orders for any businesses from pop-up shops to The Land of Nod (a girl can dream). If you refer a business that makes a wholesale order, then you get a special discount code to use in the shop.

Have a lovely day!

uplifting and inspiring weekend plans

Today I am watching the LDS General Conference, a 2-day event that always leaves me feeling uplifted and inspired. You can tune in live here. I love this quote that a leader shared this morning. I can't wait for all the wonderful messages that will be shared this weekend.

shop changes

Thanks for all the support yesterday. It means a lot. It wasn't my first choice to come home, but I am making the best of it! Today I made a few changes to the shop.

First, all prints are now available in 6 sizes! (4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, & 24x36) If none of these is quite what you want (ie you need an international size), let me know so I can set up a custom listing. To make your size selection, just use the handy drop-down menu.

Shipping has been standardized. Domestic orders now ship for $3 and international for $10.

Gift cards are now available! You can find them here. Just is time for Valentine's Day ;)

Discounts are available for ordering multiple prints! Find those offers here.

You can also use the discount code FEB14 to save 10% on your order! Perfect for the new Valentine's prints I added not too long ago...

If you are interested in hosting a giveaway, guest post, etc., shoot me an email. I would love to work something out before I go back to Philly!
