Construction Birthday Party Ideas and Good Finds!
I designed this Construction Birthday Party Invitation when we first started Anders Ruff back in February of 2010. It needed a little updating so I recently changed it a bit and put it in the shop. If you are like me, you probably are always searching for cute and inexpensive items to use at parties. […]
Giveaway: A $75 gift card to Lisa Leonard’s Designs
Maureen has been a huge fan of Lisa Leonard’s Designs for years and there’s absolutely no question as to why! Each piece of their jewelry is hand cut, hammered, polished, drilled and assembled with care and then hand-stamped with your kids’ names or a special phrase or verse. Their products are truly stunning, so when […]

Little adorable Sawyer celebrated big just a couple weeks ago in their LA beach home. Anya’s over the top Crab Shack Birthday Celebration […]
Ruff Draft: Make Apple Cupcake Donuts for School Teachers
The quintessential symbol of school and teachers – the apple. I (aka. Maureen – I hijacked the Ruff Draft this week) wanted to come up with a treat that your kiddos can bring to their teacher for the first week of school (or anytime, really!), but didn’t want it to be too complicated. Pinterest has […]
It’s a Back to School party

Giveaway: Canvas Art Piece from In the Pink
When Coco Chanel said “girls should be two things, classy and fabulous” I have not doubt that a boutique like In The Pink was her inspiration. As an online resource for the most exciting and desirable collectibles, gifts, jewelry, and fine home furnishings it’s a shop that makes you feel like a tad more glitter and brighter lipstick […]

Ruff Draft – Getting Ready for Back To School with New Personalizable Labels!
I don’t know about you, but in my household, the girls are so excited organizing their new back to school supplies. Brynne wanted to have everything labeled this year for 6th grade, especially since her supplies would be scattered in between lockers, book bags, and binders. I worked with Maureen to create a new […]

Giveaway: Keep Calm and Monogram It All
If you’re a monogramaholic then you probably think that the title of this weeks themed giveaway is clearly an oxymoron. Let’s just be honest with one another, seeing something monogrammed can put us in fits that even Beiber Believers can’t compete with. You can take the simplest item, monogram it, and all of sudden you […]
A Comic Style Wonder Woman Super Hero Birthday Party
Our friend and client Yolanda, of Kiss with Style, recently created the coolest Wonder Woman Super Hero birthday party for a client in Australia.

Ruff Draft: Spicy Red Pepper Hummus and Warm Tortilla Chips
I recently learned how to make hummus and have been trying out new flavors. I don’t know why I haven’t made fresh hummus before now, because it is one of my favorite dips/appetizers. Once I figured out the basic ingredients, I then decided to create a spicy red pepper hummus…. perfect for veggies, but even […]
