ABOUT

HI, I’M KELLY!


Welcome to Short & Stout!

I’m so happy you’re here :)



I’m a full-time travel agent in Ontario, Canada, and the person behind everything you’ll find here. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me planning my next trip or at home curled up with a good book or tackling some kind of craft project, and spending time with my husband, Matt, and our two very spoiled dogs, Moose and Crumpet.

I’ve always loved creating and my husband and I like to use these kinds of printables in our every day life for things like budgeting, trip planning, packing, and just generally staying organized. I couldn’t always find exactly what I was looking for so I just started making them myself, and then one day I realized that if I’m looking online for these types of templates and can’t find them, maybe other people are too?! So what started as something just for me has turned into a bit of a side hustle and a creative outlet that I really look forward to.

Every printable you’ll find in my shop is designed by me, often during evenings and weekends after work. Some are inspired by my career in travel, others come from everyday life, and some are honestly just the product of me messing around on Canva or doodling on Adobe Fresco until it’s turned into something I liked enough to share.

This is all very much still a work in progress, so if there’s ever a printable you wish existed but can’t find it in my shop, I’m always open to ideas and suggestions. There’s a good chance I’ll want to make it too! I hope to keep adding more and more whenever I can, growing my collection (and hopefully yours!) over time.

I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so every detail gets a bit more attention than it probably needs, but I wouldn’t (couldn’t) have it any other way. At the end of the day, my hope is that when you download one of my designs you can tell just how much care and effort goes into every piece.

MEET CRUMPET

Crumpet is the Short of Short & Stout. He’s our six-year-old corgi with a huge personality packed into a very small body. He’s equal parts sass and snuggles, and he may not look like a CEO but if you know anything about corgis, he certainly acts like one.

His favourite things are playing catch, belly rubs, and spending as much time outside as possible. He loves camping almost as much as we do but honestly probably wouldn’t survive out in the wild on his own without his many comforts. Every night when it’s time for bed, if my hands happen to be empty, Crumpet will dramatically flop onto his side and will refuse to move because he knows I’ll scoop him up and carry him upstairs.

MEET MOOSE

Moose is the Stout of Short & Stout. He’s our two-year-old chocolate Labrador with the biggest heart you’ll ever meet. Moose feels everything deeply and new people make him very nervous, but once you’ve earned his trust, he’ll love you forever.

Like any respectable Lab, food is his first love. His second love? Blankets. He carries them around the house, sleeps under them no matter the temperature, and somehow always seems to have one nearby. He also has a beloved collection of stuffed carrots and likes bringing one with us on our walks because they help him feel brave.

SHORT & STOUT

Crumpet & Moose are the heart of our little family and the inspiration behind my logo. They’re my daily reminder to celebrate the little wins (as they certainly do when treats are involved) and to find time to relax and sit in the sun.

Thank you so much for stopping by and supporting my little corner of the internet. Whether you’ve purchased one of my products, favourited my shop, follow me on social media, share my content, downloaded a freebie, joined my email list, or you’re simply here to look around, it all helps me stay motivated to keep creating and growing.

♥ THANK YOU! ♥

Thank you for supporting my small business and the creative work that goes into every product I create. Every purchase, share, and kind word helps me continue doing what I love, and I truly appreciate you being here. I hope my designs bring a little more creativity, organization, and joy to your day. Thank you for being part of this journey and for supporting independent artists and small businesses.

It means more than you know.
