Sis Boom Super Fans – Met Rachael and Violet

We were smitten when this blue-eyed cutie popped up on our Instagram feed in a stunning dress combining Vickie from the Good Company line and Maggie from the Circa line and we had to know more! Get to know talented photographer and designer Rachael Owen and her daughter Violet.

Hi, my name is Rachael Owen and this lovely little peach is my daughter, Violet. This was my take on a fall colored dress that still has its foot in the door of summer. I am a full time portrait photographer out of a little town in Eastern Oregon, that is famous for a rodeo. My photography company is called Catching Violet Photography, named after this little gals exciting birth. I am obsessed with ribbon, pom trim and anything Jennifer Paganelli. This dress was designed by me and created by Sonia Hanke, my absolute favorite local seamstress that is so wonderful and never teases me about my funny print combinations. 🙂 You can get Sonia to make you a dress by visiting her Facebook page or giving her a call at (541)377-1624. Please follow me in instagram to see all the fun projects I put together.

Instagram Inspiration – Kids Edition

Summer is winding down here in Wilton and school starts next week, and probably like most of you, I’m looking forward to fall and cooler weather!!! I’ve dug out the acrylics and watercolors I’ve had stashed away for years, and I’ve been painting daily thanks to Pam Garrison and CreativeBug. She has a wonderful line of videos, check them out if you’ve ever wanted to pick up a paintbrush. Its never to late to try something new!

You have all been very busy this summer. I’ve loved seeing what you have been making. Thanks for sharing with me on Instagram. I’m always so inspired. Here are some of my favorites.

Egg Wand!

So with Easter around the corner, we decided it was time to design some fun, colorful Sis Boom eggs.

It doesn’t stop there… You may remember our free Egg-tastic tutorial from last year (fun!)… this year we wanted to add a little Ka-POW, so we made a little Sis Boom star as well!

Presenting the Sis Boom Egg Wand! Perfect for crafting up a storm with the kiddos- simply click HERE (or on the image below) to download PDF. Print on glossy paper, Cut ’em out, attach the paper to a little dowel or chopstick, and viola! For some added pizazz, definitely add some seam binding ribbon to the wand. Glitter too- why not?! Have fun and share you pics with us on facebook!

With the free download comes a handful of eggs and stars for you to cut out!
