Shavs Paper

Sometimes cool things come across my desk…like illustrating Nick Jonas’ Sunday Best coloring book at the brunch announcing his new album! Endlessly eating up all the “Gut Punch” clips on TikTok…that song is great! Congrats on the new album, Nick, and thanks for asking me to be a part of it. (PS the Jonas Brothers Christmas movie is elite)

Ended this season’s paper camps with a mother/daughter Girl Scout session in Beverly Hills! This year in total I had 77 participants and 11 sessions! Thank you for a very fun holiday season! Now scroll to see how cute these papers are!

First Paper Camp of the season in the books! Let’s give it up for the designs of LA’s newest gift wrap artists: Lennon, Frankie, Yassi, Lyra, Juno, Ingrid and Astrid! Scroll to see their work…and inquire below or send a DM if you want to host a paper camp ♥️

Greater LA and OC areas! Get a group together and host a paper camp at your home! 6-10 kids per camp, will work on a designing and drawing out their own holiday wrapping paper, making matching gift tags and learning how to wrap some gifts! Drop your questions below and email me to book yours!

ATTN: LA PARENTS! This is not a regular paper post….after 5 years of teaching in home preschool art classes, my waitlist is open and if anyone is looking for a way to supplement their child’s creativity and education, might I suggest myself?! Perks of signing up mean lots of custom paper (kids make it for the holidays and for Mother’s Day), childcare professional (I was a high profile nanny in LA for 17 years), and lots and lots of art your kid will make that you won’t want to throw in the garbage! Tag your LA parent friends with preschool age kids!!! Art teacher is my real job, wrapping paper is my hobby job. Now you know!

In case you were wondering, as Los Angeles resident, I couldn’t be more proud of the people who make LA what it is….the undocumented, hardworking people of LA are the heartbeat of this city and we won’t stop fighting for their freedoms.

Some more of LA’s gorgeous homes that were lost in the LA fires… ♥️

Paper on hold until all the LA homes are drawn. So grateful to be a part of .fineart army of artists. If you lost your home in the LA fires, reach out to her to get an illustrated portrait of your home.

This year I started something new, a paper camp hosted in homes all over Southern California with kids of all ages. We designed paper, made gift tags and learned to wrap a gift. It was a trial run, I did 5 camps and 40 kids total…was a success and will be offering these moving forward not just for the holiday season! Stay tuned for more info, or feel free to contact me to set up your own camp! Now go take a good swipe through to see how amazing these papers turned out! Ages ranged between 3 and 15.

3rd year in a row doing coloring book for their annual fundraising gala! 60 pages of illustrations of Sunshine families. It’s a huge job and takes a village of volunteers from the preschool to organize but it’s so fun and packs a big punch. Consider a coloring book to fundraise for your school or event!

There are fashion girlies and then there is who is a FASHION girlie. Had the best time making a paper of her closet. I am beyond obsessed with how this turned out. Swipe to see her wearing all of these outfits. Please follow her and just lose it over every single one of her haute couture looks. She’s major. Gifted to her from ♥️
