Storybox Examples
This page features all 10 of my original storybox designs, and the general thoughts behind them!
If you're doing a "Personalized" Storybox, you'll be choosing one of these designs to start off with. Most commonly, we'll be changing the two people's silhouettes to personalize it to you!
If you're doing an "Original" Storybox, use these examples to inspire your own story/idea entirely, or use one of these designs to start off with (e.g. we can use the white silhouette of the first layer and change all inner layers).
Go back here for info on booking new storybox commissions.

7) The Wedding Ceremony
A forest-y silhouette, featuring light shining through the trees in the forest where we got married! NOTE: This image shows a 12x12 frame instead of an 8x8 frame. Only 8x8 Frames are currently available, so an 8x8 copy of the design may look a tad different scaled down.
8) How We Met
A bear silhouette, featuring our college campus and a few little icons referencing a few of our first dates as well as our major.
9) Board Games
A hexagon silhouette, featuring references to 7 of our favorite board games.

Customer Reviews
As a reviewer wrote below, working with Jessica was so easy and fun. She created a few drafts and they were all so cute, I could barely choose. I am going to get another commission just so I can have one of the other sketches she made. She had some good brainstorming ideas and created something so uniquely me. It even looks like me and took some ideas I had about my beloved Potatocorn. As I told her, this is one of my most prized possessions. I can't recommend enough.
It also goes along with my potatocorn pins ;)
I wasn't too sure about what I wanted as my drawing but Jessica was great at drawing out my ideas. When the final piece was sent to me it was perfect. It really captured me and my energy. I would do this again and recommend anyone thinking about it to do it.
Working with Jessica for my Kickstarter commission was so smooth, easy, and fun! I'm the type of person who is incredibly indecisive and shrugs for days when someone asks me for more details on what I want, but Jessica included some questions to help guide some initial ideas and was able to give me four amazing sketches just based on my very chaotic, not at all streamlined thoughts -- it took me SO LONG to decide which one to move forward with because I loved all of them so much!!! Not only that, but once I picked a sketch idea, she and my partner surprised me by adding in a little narwhal into the line drawing because I have a narwhal plushie at home that is my comfort plushie <3 She also worked patiently with me after I considered (and then unconsidered) adding a background to the commission. It was such a joy to work with Jessica, would absolutely recommend it if you want some high quality adorable content!
I've commissioned two pieces from Jessica and both times it was fantastic! She was amazing about communicating with me--both in the parameters of the commission and to work together to get exactly the piece I was looking for. I adore both pieces that I ended up with and they will be treasured works of art.
The process of doing a custom with Jessica was incredibly smooth! She worked with me to tease out what I thought I wanted, then delivered over and above at every step of the process. In the end I had a stunning custom image of me and my own inner potatocorn that exudes All the JOY I was hoping for! The quality of the prints and stickers were phenomenal! 10/10
