Hello friends and followers! I wanted to share a quick update. With some big shifts happening in my world and stepping into a new role at my full‑time job, I’ve realized I need to give myself a little breathing room. Because of that, I’ll be pausing custom design projects for now. This is in the best interest of my clients, as my response times aren’t as quick as they once were.

If I’m currently working with you on a project, rest assured I will finish it out with the same care and attention you’ve expected from me.

This isn’t goodbye. It’s simply a pause while I settle into this new chapter. My Etsy shop will stay open with all of my pre‑designed items ready for purchase, and I’m excited to keep offering the pieces you’ve loved and supported.

Thank you for being here, for supporting my little shop, and for the encouragement you’ve given me along the way, it has meant more than you know. I’ll be back when the creative space feels right again.

Happy Easter from Made by b. and my favorite found Easter print!

I recently stumbled across this bright blue bunny illustration on Pinterest {originally tagged to elvira.v.v.designs} and it instantly made my heart sing. The palette, the spring energy and the JOY… it reminded me why I love thoughtful, intentional design in the first place, and I just had to share it with you all.

But I also wanted to reimagine the colors with soft, spring‑inspired names, and share the HEX codes so you can soak up the inspiration in your work too.

Springtime always reminds me to slow down, notice the beauty in details all around us and create with extra softness and pure fun. I hope this piece brings that same feeling to your feed today!

Wishing you a bright, happy Easter and a wonderful spring, from Made by b. 💛

I just finished a “Brunch and Bubbly” wedding shower set and loved how it all came together. The invitation had a front and back design — party details on the front and a QR code to the registry on the back — and I created a matching welcome sign to tie the whole theme together. Such a fun way to celebrate Madison and Payton 🥂✨

If you’re planning a shower, birthday, or any special event, I can create invitations, signs, and coordinating pieces that match your theme. Message me to get started or browse my Etsy for ideas: https://www.etsy.com/shop/madebyb23

It’s been a minute since I checked in here… but I couldn’t resist hopping on the “this is who” trend.

This is who raises two kids, works a full-time job, and designs for you on the side. 💖

And even though this page has been quiet, Made by b. hasn’t. I’ve still been creating behind the scenes — helping friends, family, and customers with:
💖 Watercolor pet portraits
💖 Invitations
💖 Digital + print designs
💖Classroom + counseling tools
…and more!

✨ NEW: Watercolor portraits are now available as a digital file option — sent straight to your email for a more affordable, frameless choice.

So yes, I’m still here. Still designing. Still creating. And I’m excited to start showing up on here again.
