Exclusively on our newsletters! I am delighted to present you our 2021 yearly series of illustrations, the one that you can find exclusively every month in our newsletter. The past year, we successfully explored the thematic of travels, with a world tour in 12 postcards from some of our favorite places. We were thrilled to have your amazing feedback, and quickly decided to put these illustrations in a brand new calendar: you loved it as much as we did, and we were very proud of the result. This year was the perfect opportunity to continue to explore the travel theme...

Today we’ll take you on a little tour behind the scenes of Liligraffiti’s creations: we wanted to share with you the story of our “Pool” visual, a very special design for us, that symbolizes and incarnated the whole collection for us. This collection, as you already know, was born during the lockdown and the pandemic context: it was designed as an artistic response to the negativity, the loneliness, and the uncertainty all around us. The result was an overload of  bright and luminous colors, representations of people gathered again, a general feeling of joy that we can feel like a...

We know you loved the first edition of "Things I love", which was the Christmas edition. And since I like pleasing you, I'm really happy to present you the summer edition of this post.  Summer is a joyful, luminous, inspiring season. We love the urging feeling of enjoying the day till the very last bit, just for the sake of storing enough light, warmth, and moments spent in the sun for the upcoming winter. Here's my summer edition of "Things I love"! 1-Go and have a swim at my hood's pool I love going swimming during my lunch break on...

San Francisco is one of those cities that you fall in love with instantly. I discovered it a few years back, during a family trip. I was supposed to went back there, on my own, last year for a business trip, but unfortunately the Covid situation stopped that project. So be it! I'll take today down memory lane in this magical city, that reminds me in lots of way (and especially the sweet way of life) my dear Montreal. The San Francisco vibe is quite different from all the other US cities that I've been to. More relaxed, more creative, more...

A nice collab with a local flower shop. You know how much we love our local boutiques. They need you more than ever in this strange period! One of our lovely retailers, Florilège (A flower shop) contacted us a few months ago for a very exciting project: to create the visual of label of their upcoming candle. This was something absolutely never-done-before for me, and I was very happy to start this job. A bit about Florilège: Florilège is as flower shop located in the St-Henri hood in Montreal, and has opened less than 2 years ago. Run by two...

Our selection to say "I love you" to our favorite person.   Mother's Day is the perfect occasion to celebrate our moms/mother figures in the most gentle and special way.

A few of our favorite traditions + some cute things to spoil your little ones! We love Easter! It’s the perfect occasion for the food lovers that we are to celebrate a day by eating chocolate! The thing we love the most, is building traditions around those special dates. Easter is an especially joyous celebration when you live in Quebec, as it happens around the beginning of Spring. We enjoy the first warm days, we take long walks in the sun, we admire the trees getting their green back…(Like in our art print "Green streets") And of course, we brunch!...

Discover our brand new organizational duo! Here at Liligraffiti, we don’t mess with food. We love going to restaurants (we sure miss going to places!), meals with friends, traveling and discovering new food (as you might have noticed with our new “windows of the world” series on our newsletters), and of course, cooking for/with our family. Dish towels were already part of our permanent collection, and we launched at the end of last year a brand new product, which was the recipe notebook. This idea was born during the first lock-down, and was meant to gather people around the concept...

Colors, good vibes, and more. 2020 was oh so strange and difficult. All those challenges were the starting point of our first collection of the year 2021, that we designed like an artistic reaction to that time. We wanted to bring out beauty, positiveness, kindness, and of course, lots of colours. Deeply influenced by the sanitary crisis, but also by the emergence of the BLM movement and the wake-up call that followed, you will find these events subtly displayed in our new visuals, as a mirror of our new reality. SHOP OUR NEW COLLECTION Three main themes were developed in...

Some of our most loved and popular animal visuals Animals have always been a large part of our visuals. My childhood was filled with cats and dogs, as well as many other animals that I encountered when I visited my grand-parents, which are probably some of my most happy memories. This explains why animals are still to this day one of my main source of inspiration, as I love going back to sweet memories whenever I draw. Here are some of our animal visuals that you’ll love! (All of these illustrations are available in English!) -For birthdays -For births: -Love...

A selection of our most romantic greeting cards, our love playlist, and more! Love, love, love… Are we hopeless romantics inside the Liligraffiti team? Yes, we are (and proud to be!) We don't really care about being stereotypical, we really dig the whole Valentine's day vibe. Ok, ok, it's a fact, this celebration is mostly commercial, but then again, as long as it's a celebration of love, we are on for it! So, we know for sure (and so do our hubbies) that the evening of the 14th of February will be an evening of romance, with a nice meal,...

A glimpse of our essentials for a productive and inspiring day. Life at Liligraffiti's workshop has become somewhat kind of familiar for you by now! You know how we love to be efficient (the ultimate joy to cross a task off a to-do list! You know the feeling) but always in a good and fun spirit. For this brand new year, we wanted to offer you an illustration with all of our favorite daily things! Let's also take this occasion to wish you an amazing year 2021. We wish you a year filled with dates with friends, reunions with family...

A new category on the blog, with a never-seen-before illustration! We really wanted to end this year on a nice and sweet note, by offering you a brand new category on the blog, celebrating things we love and of course, with the adequate illustration. As you may have noticed with my work, I am a positive and optimistic person; I am your typical "half-full glass girl, and I love small everyday pleasures. All of this gave us the idea of this illustration, very Pintererest-like, to present you my favourite things to do around Christmas time. This year has been a...

So many great ideas to make your calendar special and one-of-a-kind! As you know it, our Advent calendar has been one of our favorite tradition throughout the years.

Many ways to enjoy our new set of flash-cards We just launched a brand new collab with the on-line baby shop Le Monde est tout-petit. This is our third collab with Ingrid, after our « Month after month” milestone cards, and the Alphabet flash-cards. This time, we took interest in numbers and imagined a new flash-cards set, illustrated with homes & buildings from all around the world. Going from 1 to 10, the cards show the numbers written with letters and are associated with the correct number of illustrations, which makes the whole learning process fun and attractive to kids.

We introduce you to our new project!  We can’t deny it, we are connected girls. Sometimes even too connected to be honest. :) But there are still places where our heart is still very much into the paper side of things.  To take notes, or to make our to-do lists, for instance (Hello notebooks and notepads by Liligraffiti!) but also for our planners. It is truly impossible for us to use an electronic version, and God knows we tried! We’ve been thinking about creating our own version of the everyday planner for quite some time; many of you requested it,...
