Hi I'm Ally and I've been a Corporate Graphic Designer running my own business for over 35 years.
I'm in New Zealand (those islands bottom right of Australia), the land of the Lord of the Rings, the Kiwi bird and the All Blacks (our beloved rugby team). I love designing, have been doing it my whole life, but corporate is a bit regimented so I opened up my Etsy shop as a side hobby to design things I like, now I'm launching my website!
I love music, cooking and organising tea parties for my friends and family, love period dramas so hence the pretty Regency/Victorian/Edwardian style designs on my shop. I also have a bit of a gothic/horror fascination (Stephen King's fault) so there will be more Gothic / Enchanted designs to come. 😈
I hope you find something here that will inspire your next party, please feel free to ask if you want a product template to suit your occasion, or if you need help with editing, I'm happy to help. I will be updating the website every week with new designs so add your email to my list so you don't miss out! You can check out my extended product catalogue on my Etsy shop. Just click on the button at the bottom of the home page.
Please leave a review if you can, also love to see attached pictures of the product in situ - that would be much appreciated.
Thanks for coming to my website.
Cheers from New Zealand, take care and have a great day.
Ally 😃

This is a view from the beach in Browns Bay, 5mins down the road from where I live. You can see the extinct volcano 'Rangitoto' out in the harbour.
This is Auckland City Centre seen from the North Shore, the tall structure is the 'Sky Tower', where you can go out tethered at the top and walk around or do a bungy jump...Yikes!
An hour and a half away in the Waikato District, is Hobbiton, at the Lord of the Rings film set in Matamata.
Rotorua in the middle of the North Island is full of thermal activity, with geysers, hot pools, even in the middle of town!
On to the South Island to the wine district of Marlborough, some of the best award winning Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir is made here.
Queenstown where in Winter you can go skiing on Coronet Peak or in Summer bungy jump from the Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge.
Bottom of the South Island, is Milford sounds with it huge peaks rising straight from the water and spectacular views.
Bluff, the very bottom of NZ, famous for it's oysters and Stirling Point signpost, which depicts directions and distances to major cities around the world.
