We all know a woman who needs a hug. A woman who is facing a new challenge in life, or who is haunted by an old one. A woman who is working hard to bring joy and purpose into every day, but is being dragged down by unrealistic expectations of perfection, and busybusybusy.

I am so excited to team up with (Un)Scripted to bring ‪#‎unscriptedhugs‬ to the women who need them.

We both believe in the healing power of touch and that hugs heal our hurts. The connection we all have with each other matters deeply and through being vulnerable and real with one another we can lift each other up and empower each other to live beautiful, authentic lives. 

Since we can’t physically hug every woman who needs one, we came up with a way to connect with you, and be in it with you, and let you know that you are valuable and loved, exactly as you are.

This is how #unscriptedhugs works: 
– You nominate the women in your life who could use a little extra encouragement, support, and kindness via the form at bit.ly/unscriptedhugs.
– One woman per month will be chosen to receive a small care package filled with handmade goodies from only the most awesome and woman-friendly creative makers intended to brighten her day with love and joy!
– Everyone who is nominated will receive an email with an exclusive downloadable art print from (Un)Scripted and a message of love, letting her know she was nominated for #unscriptedhugs.

We all know a woman who needs a hug. Nominate her today!

ATTENTION CREATIVES + MAKERS
We are also looking for additional partners to join us!

I have been working alongside Colleen for about two years now. We started with her save the dates, which led to designing all her wedding stationery for the big day. I loved the elegant and classic style each item reflected and knew everything would come together beautifully. You can imagine I was excited to design her and Ryan’s wedding album a year after the event, as well as their parent albums. Finally, I got to see photos of the event and it really was spectacular.

It has been such a pleasure creating all these special items for this couple. I have also designed stationery for their friends and family, and am so thankful for Colleen referring me to all the special people in her life. Here is a little peek into their album. They chose my digital linen in light gray, such a pretty choice. All photos were taken by the talented Nathan Peracciny. Enjoy!
