Hi friends! It probably feels like it’s been forever since I’ve posted because it actually HAS 🥴😂

I haven’t been doing any less portraits, or missed any orders, I’ve just mostly been SO exhausted both physically & emotionally with this third wave of COVID that almost all my work for .co has been taking place offline/behind the scenes. ✨💗

Many of the portraits & images I’ve created as of late have been time sensitive surprises & gifts which also limits me in what I can and cannot post - however, some of the deadlines have passed and images have been gifted and despite my crazy work schedule I anticipate a little more social media activity taking place over here 🤪🥳

It’s really easy to get all caught up in the hustle and bustle of day to day life from being a mother, a wife, an RN and all the other hats I wear every👏🏻single👏🏻day lol
The past little while I’ve really had to focus on enjoying the little things, taking my time and being patient with myself — because I’m quite literally running on empty. 😅

AND THATS WHY I enjoy doing these portraits. It’s so therapeutic and relaxing for me, it gives me a sense of accomplishment and if I make a mistake I can just erase it and start over — no ones life is on the line here; a nice change of pace for me 🥴😂

Anyhow, enjoy this portrait of Nicki & Mike that I had the pleasure of doing up recently 😍 I can’t wait until we’re through this chaos on the other side so we can get back out and about celebrating weddings, birthdays, anniversaries & homecomings 🥲😂

Piece 2/2 for the beautiful ✨Bride to Be ✨👰🏼‍♀️😍

The hand drawn wedding venue is such a special and unique way to personalize your wedding invitations — as well as preserve this place and moment in time & what it means to you 🥺💖

I absolutely love the idea that no one will ever have this exact wedding invitation and that it has both aesthetic and sentimental value to the Bride and Groom 🥰

It was such a pleasure to work on this for these two and I can’t wait to share the final product with you all — 🚨 spoiler alert 🚨 I’ve seen the draft and they’re GORGEOUS !!!!

I love how you guys continue to trust and challenge me in all these new and special endeavours, I’m taking on new projects every day & learn as I go with all of your patience and faith in me! And for that, I’m truly thankful 🙏🏻

Look at these four gorgeous little girls — imagine having not one, not two but THREE sister friends at ALL times?! It’s all you need really! 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

This client is one BUSY mama, but what a special memory of her four little dollies 🥺💕

20/03/2021

I am really really REAAAAAALY excited to share this piece with you all — this is a custom & completely original work for a very special ✨ Bride To Be ✨👰🏼‍♀️

When she reached out to me to have me design her wedding invitations I was SUPER honoured and excited to be trusted with such an important task 🥺💗

We worked together to bring their vision to life and managed to come up with not one but TWO beautiful works that are completely unique to them for their special day 👏🏻🥰

Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but this piece in particular incorporates both of their birth flowers: Poppies & Gladiolus’, to include not just a beautiful, but sentimental component as well 🌸

It was a privilege and a gift to work on this for them and I can’t wait to see this piece in its home on their finished invitations 💌

Love is in the AIR folks 💖

Another sweet babe for you all to GUSH over 😩💖 Everyone meet ✨EMMETT✨

Don’t you just want to squish him? I always say that the cutest babies are sleeping babies and I stand by that 😂

This is piece 3/3 for — thank you so MUCH for allowing me to work on these for you, and I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did creating them 🥰 I can’t wait to see how these pieces compliment your space!!

15/03/2021

Alright, somebody pinch me, I’m dreaming 🥺💗

This is one of THREE pieces for .d.mccall & I just couldn’t wait to share this one with all of you! This image just really gives me Disney Princess meets The Ranch vibes idk lmao but I LOVE IT 🥰👏🏻

These two love birds were an absolute TREAT to draw, making this one was so effortless, relaxing and therapeutic for me — all the reasons I started doing this in the first place & a Sunday well spent ✨

I’m working days tomorrow — I’ve lost an hour AND it’s Monday SO I’ll be going to bed early & no one can stop me 😂 Asking for ALL the good vibes you have to give please... this weekend just wasn’t long enough 😩😭

Hope you all have a spectacular week 💖🙊✨

Sweet baby ✨ELLIE✨

Where does the TIME go?! See, the newborn stage is my favourite — I know not everyone feels this way, but for me there is nothing more precious than a teeny, tiny sleepy bundle that is contented just by the sound of your voice, your touch, or the smell of your skin 🥺❤️

Much like Ellie, my two sweet baby girls have since GROWN from tiny little bundles into fierce, strong, independent little ladies; and though each day is a NEW challenge and adventure I really do miss when they were this small 😩❤️

What stage do you enjoy the most?? ✨

The wedding photo you never knew you needed 🥺💕

The day these two got married was somewhat of an OCCASION around these parts — and I, for one, am not in the LEAST bit surprised at why 😍

I remember looking nothing short of angelic on her wedding day, and though I could NEVER do it justice, it was an absolute privilege to stare at her for a couple of hours 🥵😍

I am so happy with the way this piece turned out and I can’t wait to see it hanging up in their family home in NO time (which by the way is such a SURREAL concept to me 🥺💖)

Stay tuned for another TWO pieces I completed of their beautiful babies — can’t wait to share them with all of you 🥰✨

Today I had the pleasure of drawing these four PERFECT people — and I couldn’t be happier with the final product 😍✨

However, today I ALSO learned that Courtney’s husband HATES mustard yellow 😂❤️
Now me, I LOVE me a good mustard — honestly, growing up I hated it, it was the least desirable colour I could conjure up, but NOW I have a (borderline) obsession with it 🥴

I tell you this, because the second photo is the one I had originally completed and forwarded to my client for review — we decided we wanted to completely rework the colours & 👏🏻 THATS 👏🏻 OKAY 👏🏻😌
In minutes we had a (TOTALLY) different portrait, that gives off a whole new vibe, and just when I didn’t think I could love it any MORE - I DID! 🙊

Your portraits are completely customizable to you, I don’t get paid until I’ve created the portrait YOU want, to your taste, for your space — everyone has different taste and the best portrait (in my opinion) is the one you can’t WAIT to share with others 😌

& on that note, Courtney, everytime I see a nice mustard yellow I’ll think of you and your family, (and your husbands disdain for this colour) probably until the day die 😂💖

Thank you so much for the opportunity to create this piece for you and your beautiful family, the process was so much fun 🥰✨

Hello friends !! * it’s been a MINUTE * 🤪

I have been working SO much , so I’ve been neglecting social media a little bit — but I’ve been really busy behind the scenes here, silently completing orders and sending them off to their new homes 😌

I am so thankful for everyone’s continued support and I truly cannot BELIEVE there are 600 of you that want to follow along and share in this adventure with me. I’m hoping to be a little more active this week and show you guys everything I’ve been working on - but for now here is a super SWEET photo of my darling coworker and her beautiful family (ft. her brand NEW babe🥺💕)

I hope everyone has a truly fantastic week!!

16/02/2021

The last of a little LOVE day action before I have to go in for nights tonight — I truly ENJOYED my week off 😌✨

However — a week away from the hustle and bustle of the hospital did not mean we weren’t still busy over here! In this passed week:

✨ My oldest child turned EIGHT years old
✨ I celebrated my (sixth or seventh idk) Valentine’s Day with my Husband
✨ We celebrated Family Day for the first time in our new home

AND

🎉I’ve completed my first TWENTY orders since opening🎉
I have the next twenty about STARTED after the chaos of Valentine’s Day portraits it will be nice to settle back into a routine of working & creating & nursing.

👩🏼‍⚕️One last night before making the switch to basically straight days in the ER - which will be a bit of a culture shock I think after a MONTH and a HALF of nights and a backwards sleep schedule 😂 BUT I’m very excited to be heading back to emerge, there’s just something about it that sets my soul on fire 🙊💗

ANYHOW - I hope everyone has a good week, if you’re wondering whether or not it’s almost your turn it probably IS - so those of you with pending orders : Keep an eye on your DM’s/E-Mail in the next week or so as I finish all of these up 🥰
xx

Aren’t ‘s pets absolutely adorable 🐶💗🙊

Hehe just kidding , you know I love ya 😂💕

My two friends had to spend their Love Day (and SO many other days) apart this year because this man is in New York becoming a ✨chiropractor✨🥵
Naturally, his gorgeous girlfriend & their pup are missing him like crazy — as are we to be honest (sad face)

We are very proud of you Connor & you better believe this nurse has a back for you to ✨crack✨ when you’re a Doctor (or whatever🤪)

Love all three of you to the MOON💕

HAPPY 💕VALENTINES💕 DAY EVERYONE!

& a special happy Valentine’s Day to Amanie & Rita 🥺❤️

These two are so gorgeous to look at, & drawing two people that positively radiate love for one another is such a privilege and a gift 💝

I hope everyone has a very special day! 💫

Piece 2/2 for the beautiful 😍🥰

I am SWOONING over these two over here; creating these two pieces was such a pleasure and I can’t wait to see how they accent your space as prints 💖

I hope you two have a fabulous Valentines Day, you deserve it!

I can’t wait to share all the pieces I’ve completed over the passed several days with you all 😌 I am eternally grateful for everyone’s continued love and support - this is so much fun 💫

14/02/2021

Guess whoooooo?!🙊💗

I was OVERJOYED when a very close friend of mine from years ago reached and asked if I would be willing to create a piece to help them announce that they are expecting 😭💕

I am so excited for you guys — and I can’t wait for you to share the news of your precious bundle with the rest of the world! I feel honoured to have been commissioned for this piece and it will always hold a very special place in my heart ✨

Congratulations my friend, I love you to pieces 💗

14/02/2021

Love is in the AIR 💕

I hope you guys are ready to be absolutely bombarded by all of the Valentine’s Day pieces I’ve been hard at work on over here — it’s been causing me physical pain to keep them from all of you! 🥺

This is one of two custom line art pieces I finished for — and I’ll be honest I could stare at these two all day 😍

Happy early Valentines Day 💖

Add a little bit of ✨spice✨🥵

This is nothing short of a Lash Gal Appreciation Post — I don’t trust ANYONE with my lashes but this cool chick, & now that my eyelashes are sufficiently BALD I am experiencing severe withdrawal.

I think that nearly everyone I have to see on a day to day basis is wishing we weren’t still on lockdown so they wouldn’t have to look at me in this state but HERE WE ARE 😂

This woman is SUCH an inspiration to me, not only is she super down to earth & like a long lost sister BUT she’s one of the most driven and motivated human beings I’ve ever met — she’s a veteran entrepreneur, owning not only but ALSO 👏🏻 she is a force to be reckoned with and this image just SPEAKS to me 💜✨

Anyway! Love you all & I hope you enjoy looking at these two as much as I do!!! 😍

Okay I kind of love the aesthetic of this one! When Courtney reached out to me to tackle this photo I was equal parts nervous and excited to play with how this might look as a completed image — I must say though the it turned out AMAZING and totally matches her vibe 🙊

We are O N E week OLD!!! 💗✨

A week ago I made the decision to bring .co to life and what a week it’s BEEN!

For the passed week I have been working diligently to fulfill orders, network and create content. I am so thankful for the ongoing support I have received from family, friends, coworkers and even strangers!

The launch of my Custom Line Art (that you see above) was a huge success and refreshing change of pace - I’m already working on another style of products that I think you all will enjoy looking at, if not purchasing for yourself!

Some other new and exciting news is that I now have a logo AND a website - yes a WEBSITE, that I have put a lot of time and effort into developing on my own in an attempt to make the ordering process as effortless as possible for you guys - for those of you that have already ordered - the process remains the same; however, going forward I think you guys will appreciate the simplicity of the “shop” feature on the website in terms of selecting and paying for your products! You can find the link in my bio! 😌

You’ll also find my portfolio, contact info, shop, and ✨blog✨ space — which I am SUPER excited about — my first post is already up and it would mean THE WORLD to me if you would check it out; you can find the link @ the bottom of this post 🥺💗

Finally, my pages followers have TRIPLED in the passed seven days; which puts us at 300 followers! 🎉 it doesn’t seem like much, but the fact that three HUNDRED of you want to see my scribbles is astonishing to me. I am overwhelmed with all the love and support I’ve recieved — so with that:

I have one last piece of exciting news for you all; but you’ll have to stay tuned for the details of that later on today🙊✨

For now, enjoy this steamy line art of Trav & Brook, like & follow SKYEDESIGN.CO on Facebook and take a scroll through my ✨new✨ website. God I love you guys 💖🥰

Amber, thank you so much for having me draw your beautiful little family - you guys make it easy 💗

02/02/2021

My sweet baby Evangeline turned ✨THREE✨years old this week and I am very much upset about it 🥺
Happy birthday to my not so little girl🎉
& on that note, I am pleased to announce I am also offering custom line-art to my list of available products 🥰
These look lovely on both white and solid colour backgrounds and are perfect for the minimalist 💗

02/02/2021

Happy SATURDAY! ✨
& a special happy anniversary to Jared and Alissa!! 🎉💗
Despite being swamped with work recently, I was able to set aside some time to work on this little treasure & I must say I’m really happy with the finished product. Each of these subjects was a separate project, using a variety of photos and perspectives. This piece is completely unique in both layout and style!
ALSO - how cute is their pup? 🐶
Thank you for letting me draw you and your beautiful family 🥰

02/02/2021

It was a pleasure to draw another fellow Night Shift Queen 💖
I only slept from 0700-1200, and work another twelve hours tonight, so please send ALL the positive vibes!

02/02/2021

Just a couple of gal pals 👯‍♀️ ✨
Drawing this has me reminiscing on warmer weather (and actually being able to hang out with your friends 🥲)
The support from you all has been overwhelming! I’m chipping away at the more complex pieces and I’m really excited to try my hand at some new subjects!
But for NOW - these two and their summer vibes are giving me what I need to get through my snowy, pre-night shift blues 😋

02/02/2021

Honestly this woman is just ENERGY goals - she’s as pretty on the inside as she is PERFECT on the outside 💗
Very thankful for her friendship throughout the years, coupled with her unrelenting support of literally everything I do.

This little ham is TWO months old and we are REFUSING to believe it 😭
Since all my babies are all grown up, I guess I’ll have to settle for drawing newborns instead 🥺
Let me draw your precious bundle - these illustrations are perfect for scrapbooks, nurseries & stationary 💕
