spreading the Christmas cheer, annette

the countdown begins...

specialty plaques, jenna

rather than using paper as a background, we can also paint specialty signs and add any phrase of your choice. 

our best seller, jenna

here is yet another example of our wedding/anniversary signs. I am a big fan of the black and white theme with just a pop of solid color.

a successful open house!

thanks to all of you who made an appearance at our 2nd a.j.e.less designs open house! it was a success! we so appreciate your support. we hope you are thrilled with your purchases. keep us in mind the next time you need a unique gift idea or something new for your own home!

thanks also to our wonderful host!

photo blocks, annette

elyse received (amazing) blocks like these from her sister-in-law and we couldn't wait to make some for ourselves and our friends! stack them any way you like!

wine glasses, annette

looking for a fun gift for your bridesmaids? enjoy a glass of wine together!

more scrapbook cards, elyse

greeting cards are our best sellers so we are always creating new styles. here are some of the latest and greatest that will be for sale at our upcoming house party:

scrapbook gift bags, annette

a new product! add a special touch to your next gift by wrapping it in a unique a.j.e.less designs gift bag. complete the gift with one of our greeting cards!

inspirational photo cards, jenna

I enjoyed learning more about photography this summer and used some new photos to create more photo greeting cards. we sell them in packs of 5. these are a great way to send encouragement to a friend or family member in need.

decorative flowers, annette

we spotted paper flowers like these at a craft store, but of course didn't buy them -- instead I made them! I put them around my apartment to decorate, and even in my car!

bobby pins, elyse

young girl or grown woman - add a small accessory to your hair by pinning in a flower bobby pin! how cute are these?

burlap love, elyse

after decorating for my wedding with yards of burlap, I have an excess of the rustic material.  I have found many decorating uses this fall around my apartment to use up my stash.  some of which you might even see at our upcoming a.j.e.less designs house party (more information to follow).

just a normal Friday night for a.j.e.less designs

anyone need a sign made?! we've got the wood ready to go! got to love our 9 pm Home Depot excursions ... it took 3 "orange men" to cut up all of our purchases. 

craft club, annette

so with all the spare time I have on my hands, my students roped me into creating a "craft club" at school ... and so it begins!

ornaments, jenna

I will admit that this project was inspired by elyse, but I did it all on my own! it is my goal to make a wooden block ornament to commemorate a special day in each year. how fun will it be to take them out every time we decorate the tree! just got around to completing my 2010 ornament:

happy customer, lisa

"We LOVE the adorable name blocks you made for Melody! The fact that we can switch them up to spell either her name, show her initials, or display her birthday is so creative! My friend loves her son's name blocks too! You girls are so crafty!" :)

yarn wreaths, elyse

I often find inspiration for craft projects surfing the internet in my spare time.  This is one I stumbled upon and could not resist making!

photo frames, annette

this summer, I finally got around to adding some decorations to my apartment. they are simple touches, but add a lot of life to the room!

more signs: oldies, but goodies, elyse

we have come a long way since starting a.j.e.less designs back in the summer of 2009. but we still love some of our initial projects, like these, which can be found around jenna's home.

one word wooden signs, jenna

I have wanted to make a sign (or three!) for my kitchen for some time now. it is finally complete! this phrase is perfect for me and my sweet tooth.

teacher desk signs, annette

with two of us being teachers, we know a lot of other teachers! we love to give these name signs as gifts or make them for friends who spot the ones on our desks and want one of their own!

 

wooden photo signs, elyse

my family has expanded recently with the birth of 2 adorable nephews. what better word to describe these miracles but "blessed?" this sign was a gift to my sister on the day of my nephew's baptism.

matching wedding signs & cards, annette

cards have always been our best sellers. lately we have been pairing our wedding signs with a matching greeting card to complete the gift. sure beats hallmark!

wedding party gifts, annette

a close friend needed a unique gift idea for her bridesmaids. each glass was personalized to the girls in her wedding.

this project inspired me to create "bride" wine glasses for my friends who have gotten married recently.
