My design queue is officially BOOKED through the end of the year.👏🏻

Here are the plates I’ll keep spinning for the rest of 2025:

1. Keeping the momentum going with .elevate.pnw alongside my fabulous co-founder (yes, Christmas is coming… don’t shoot the messenger🌲)

2. No spoilers, but I’ve got a personal bucket list creative project brewing that needs more of my brainpower. 💡

3. Exciting client projects to fill my time — socials, websites, and branding. OH MY!

4. A dreamy collab with that makes my designer heart sing. 🍂

If you’ve been here a while, you know I’m serious about rest, it’s not a luxury, it’s strategy. I build it into my rhythm so I can keep doing this work with joy and excellence.

What a wild, beautiful ride 2025 has already been. I’ll save the full reflection for end-of-year, but it’s been a year of growth, clarity, and a whole lotta movement. Also? I’ve been juggling way too many plates, so to keep things real (and my sanity intact), I’m giving myself a much-needed break to kick off 2026… will be on pause in January & February while I rest and refocus.✌🏻 If you’re like, “Chill Carrie! It’s only August!” I’ve been in this game a couple of decades and I KNOW how quickly August turns into December. So, I’m planning ahead because that is what balanced strategy looks like.💪🏻

Canva just released their most used fonts, and while we love a good classic, using what everyone else is using can make it hard for your brand to stand out.

If you’re reaching for Glacial Indifference, Brittany, or League Spartan every time you open Canva— consider mixing it up with these just as gorgeous (but a little less expected) alternatives:

• Instead of Glacial Indifference—> try Poppins
• Instead of Brittany —> try Signature
• Instead of League Spartan —> try Monterchi Sans

Here’s the real win though— when your branding is already established, you’re not spending precious time picking fonts for every post. You’ve got a tool kit, ready to go, and creating content becomes so much easier. If you’re ready to stop the scroll and build a brand that looks like YOU, I’m here to help!

Working through the holidays can feel like a juggling act—balancing all the charm, cheer, and a packed schedule. But here’s the beautiful thing: amidst the busyness, inspiration often sneaks in when we least expect it.

Whether it’s a cozy coffee shop moment, a twinkling light display, or the laughter of loved ones, this season has a way of sparking creativity. So if you’re navigating a full workload with a little less rest, give yourself an abundance of grace.

As we reflect on the past year—the wins, the lessons, and even the challenges—let’s carry those gifts into the new season with hope and intention. Keep creating, keep moving forward, and know that it’s okay to pause when you need to.

As I prepare for what is next, I’ll be asking myself, “What are the lessons I’m bringing into the new year?”

Care to share any of your takeaways in the comments?

This Thanksgiving, I’m pausing to reflect on the blessings that surround me—my work, my clients, and the faith that guides every step of my journey. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunities to create, connect, and collaborate, all while honoring the creativity and purpose God has placed in my life.

Thank you for trusting me to walk alongside you in your vision. May this season remind us all to cherish the big and small blessings and share gratitude for His faithfulness in every moment.

Wishing you and yours a season filled with reflection, joy, and abundant hope.

Happy Thanksgiving!

As autumn brings a more intentional pace to my routine, I’m embracing change at Ink & Mouse.
I’ve decided to let go of some services to focus on my true passions.

This shift also opens the door for an exciting collaboration with my friend Lacy as we grow .elevate.pnw a supportive community for women entrepreneurs in the Pacific Northwest.
