Friends. It's here. we are speechless. We have poured our heart out into this book in 2020. From a certain standpoint, what else are we to do with so much free time this year?! We look forward to filling the pages of this planner, and all of the hope that is wrapped up into the 2021 year. We designed this planner for those women who are seeking to challenge their faith, shove them out of their comfort zones, and increase ... Read More
The Growing Years.
Oh, how East to West has grown and changed over the years. We began in our parents' homes, a state away from each other, designing options for a friend's wedding invitation - our first client. A couple of months later, we were designing more wedding invitations, and some greeting cards. Pretty soon a friend asked for a logo, and from there it expanded into brand design. You can see how the escalation continued...we ... Read More
Our Process.
Welcome to our new "us". East to West has taken several different twists and turns over the years, much like both of our personal lives. We are so thankful for how God continues to shape and mold us, and guides our small business. With that said, we would love to introduce you to the world of templates. Our small business is now more of a "invitation boutique" and we are so excited to serve you in this way. In short, we are ... Read More
Mailbox May.
An East to West Campaign to encourage intentionality and joy. We all get that happy feeling when we open our mailbox and there is a package or a letter that is PERSONAL.

Honestly, it seems to be a lost art, because, from our ... Read More

Both of us love being wives. Both of us loving cooking dinner for our husbands. Both of us love snuggling our little girls, reading books to those curious little eyes, seeing the little grins. Both of us love being active in our community, church, friend ... Read More
Handwritten Notes.
Sure, we are graphic designers. Sure, we love to paint pretty, write elegantly, and get lost in our work. And yes, we might just have a greeting card line of our own. BUT, we promise this is not why we push the idea to write handwritten cards and send them off in the mail. To start, this life is so fast. It only continues to speed up, and we are left with our heads in a whirlwind, stress and anxiety in our bodies, and to-do lists only ... Read More
The Journey of East to West.
We are new to this blog thing - sticking our necks out and getting personal for the world to read. It's strange, vulnerable, and we are not sure yet what we think of it. However, we firmly believe God has East to West here for a reason, in our lives and the lives of others. We never want to let our talents or life experiences go to waste, especially what we believe comes from the Lord. With that being said, we hope you follow along in ... Read More
