Part one in our new studio ✂️

We outgrew our home studio space, which is such a crazy thing to say. Here’s a sneak peek of the new space. Excited to give you the full walkthrough and share all the commissions to come!

Working on the biggest piece I’ve ever made.

Bigger canvas, bigger story, bigger nerves honestly.

This is the same process I teach inside the Heirloom Collage Method course, how to take a pile of kids’ artwork and turn it into something a family keeps forever.

Commissions are also open right now if you’d rather I make the piece for you. Spots are limited, so don’t wait too long to grab one!

Here’s what happened on my first go: smeared markers, over-saturated with the wrong glue, torn and bubbled papers. I didn’t seal it properly, and the piece started coming unstuck just days later.

The collage process isn’t just “cut and glue.”

Each of those mistakes taught me something, and now I teach that exact process so you can skip all that trial and error.

I teach you the materials that actually protect the art, how to avoid (and fix!) mistakes like these, and how to make it look intentional.

Inside the self-paced e-course:
✅ My complete step-by-step process
✅ Full materials list with direct links (U.S. and international)
✅ Private Facebook group with 1:1 feedback
✅ Lifetime access

Don’t try to figure it out yourself when you don’t need to.

There *is* a right way to collage your kid’s art.

I get two different kinds of messages. Some people take my course and tell me things like “I would’ve just glued it and hoped for the best, instead I made something I actually love.” Others try to wing it, and I hear about smeared pieces, wrinkled paper, bubbles and tears that can’t be undone.

I received a message just today: “I made one for my son’s artwork this past summer after his first year of homeschooling. I did everything wrong, hadn’t seen your page or access to your method.” — Shannon D.

That’s exactly why I made Heirloom Collage Method. It’s a self-paced course that walks you through my whole collage process, so you’re not guessing your way through.

You have one shot with your kid’s original art, so it’s worth taking the time to do it right the first time.

✨Ask your kid’s permission.✨

You’re going to cut, rearrange, and combine years of their artwork into something new, but remember: it’s their work.

Yes, you’re the one who’s been saving it, who wants to preserve it, and you’re probably the only one who even knows where it’s being stored. But it still belongs to your kid, and they should have a say in what happens to it.

Here’s how I would ask: “I’ve saved all your artwork in a bin, and I want to turn it into a piece we can hang on our walls and enjoy. What do you think?”

Ask what their favorite pieces are, where they want them placed, or maybe there’s something new they want to make for the collage.

Even if your kids are grown adults now: ask them too. It’s still their work and their childhood.

You’re not only preserving art, you’re honoring the person who made it. That’s a good place to start.

Your kid *IS* an artist. We know it, and we save it all. Now there’s two ways to turn it into something you’ll keep forever.

I didn’t set out to build a business (though it’s been such a sweet surprise!), I just wanted a way to display and enjoy my kids’ artwork. It turns out this is a universal problem.

I figured out a method that works for preserving your kid art, and now I teach it. If you’ve got a pile and you’re waiting for a plan, my e-course walks you through the whole process.
