HI! I'm Amie.

When I was a little girl, I collected stationery. I loved paper the way some kids loved stickers or trading cards. Whenever I got a chance, at the store, or from a catalog that came around at school, I'd go through every stationery set and pick out the ones I loved.

Every time I opened a new set, before I ever wrote a word on it, I'd slide out one sheet and one envelope and tuck them into a box I kept just for that. I never used those. I just wanted to keep one of each because I loved them so much.

My mom would let me buy one new set at a time, but she had a rule. I wasn't allowed to get another until I'd used up what I already had. So I wrote letters. A lot of them. Mostly so I'd have an excuse to go back and pick out something new.

Looking back, I don't think I was a kid who loved writing letters. I was a kid who loved art, and stationery was the only place I could afford to bring it home with me.

That love never really left. It just found its way into Cheeky Doodles.

I have three sisters, and between the four of us we've been through a lot, the good years and the hard ones. That's really who these cards are for. Sisters and close friends carry so much back and forth, encouragement one week, an apology the next, a joke that only makes sense to the two of you.

But it's never really been just about my own family and friends. A card can reach someone going through something I know nothing about, a joyous moment, a hard diagnosis, a rough time nobody's talking about. I don't need to know the whole story to want to make that moment a little softer for them.

I make these because I want my art to bring a little joy to whoever opens the envelope. The person who picked it out, and especially the person who finds it in their mailbox.

Every card is printed here in the US, blank inside (for the words only you can say), tucked into a white envelope.

I hope you love them and they brighten your day.

God Bless.
Amie.
