{BIG NEWS!} Anders Ruff Teams up with Social Couture AND Will be Promoted on Access Hollywood!

{Announcement from the Studio} There's a new girl in town....

We have exciting news today... actually a few exciting things to announce:

1. Sunday night (last night), we hit our 1000th Etsy Order - WOOHOO!!!
(on a side note - the first week that Maureen & I opened the shop, we made a $1 bet on who could guess the closest amount of orders we would have 1 year later... Maureen guessed in the 500's and I guessed in the 1100's... and for the record we are only in our 8th month.... we had no idea we would achieve so much in so little time!!!)

THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS & SUPPORT - WE ARE TRULY HUMBLED BY THIS MILESTONE, AND HOPE WE CAN CONTINUE TO CREATE FABULOUS DESIGNS FOR YOU!

Onto the next news....

2. We are excited to announce a new team member! We are pleased to announce that we hired a Director of Social Media and Marketing, Carrie! We are sooo excited to have her join our team!!! You will be hearing from Carrie on our blog a couple times a week (Our very own Carrie Bradshaw). Carrie is a fabulous addition to our team!

We are thrilled to have this opportunity to share another view with our readers, and hope that you find her writing style as captivating and funny as we do!

In addition to writing, Carrie will also do some behind the scenes work for us to help promote Anders Ruff in the blogging world! She is going to be our go-to-gal for giveaways, social media networking/marketing and more!

{New to the shop} New Designs

We have some new designs that we recently added to the shop.... Check them out!
(We need to update you all more often on our "new designs"!)

Looking for something? Let us know and we will add it to our "inspiration/future designs" list.

Here are just a few new ones....

We did some logos for a client (to use for cupcake toppers and stickers for her "sprinkle" that she is hosting)... we are going to come up with an invite to match SOON!
Another client loved our sweet gumball invitation but was having an ice cream parlor party, so we created one with ice cream for her in the colors she needed.
Another great client needed a bird themed invitation (which we had) but wanted it with different colors and the added swirly frames. Look how cute it turned out! (Isn't the baby cute cute CUTE!?)


A long time client of ours (so loyal!) needed a western themed / cowboy invitation. We love how it turned out!
We loved it so much that we did a girl version! Horseback riding anyone?
I will get my stuff together and post more of our new designs soon!

{New to The Shop} Could it be? The Holidays already!?

With this being our first year in business, we have a lot of work ahead to prepare for the holiday season! We want to offer a large variety of holiday photo cards to you all! I know how special family holiday cards are (and how personal they are, too!)

We introduced our first three concepts today in the shop today. They all have a similar color scheme - sky blue-gray, restoration hardware-ish blue and stocking red (I just made up those names up for the colors because that is what they remind me of! haha!)

Grosgrain Band -
Elegant - in 2 colorways (We can customize colors, of course!)



And a Burberry Style Plaid Frame- (My boys from last year's photo.....)


Lots more to come to the shop! Let us know if there are any colors, phrases, patterns, layouts or graphics you have in mind on your wish list! We are TOTALLY all ears! Comment away!
