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.

scrapbooks, jenna

this is how it all began. now our own scrapbooks often take the back burner to our many other craft projects! we have even designed scrapbooks for customers.

an assortment of crafts for my sister, annette

of course it was our family members who encouraged us to turn our hobby of crafting into a business. how best to repay them? in crafts! these projects are displayed around my sister's new york apartment.

wedding & anniversary signs, elyse

this is a staple for a.j.e.less designs. we have made countless wedding and anniversary signs over the past couple years. here is one of our originals, but still a favorite.

hand-painted corn hole boards, annette

this outdoor bean bag game has been a hit in my family recently. my brother agreed to constructing the boards, and I finished the projects with priming and painting. adding a personal touch make these boards a great gift! bean bags can be included for an extra fee.

baby name blocks, jenna

when my first niece was born, I wanted to make something special to display in her nursery. I decided on these 2"x 2" wooden blocks, which spell out her name, initials, and birth date.

melody's blocks were such a hit that I soon had another request! this time for a boy...
