New Merch!

Hello friends! It is a sunny cold day here and I am on my second cup of green tea but I thought I would share my latest bookmark. I have had this adorable image for a long time and decided it was time to size it down for a bookmark. I think it makes for a great gift to a friend that enjoys reading. I remember loving my teddy bears and don’t remember having the pleasure of having one join me on a swing. But this one is so cute and it makes me think of a crisp sunny fall day like today at the park.

I added a great friendship quote I found on Pinterest. I think the past year of a pandemic has really renewed my connection with friends and reminded me how important those relationships are to my well-being. I found solace in family and books but I thrived in the company even though virtually, with my girlfriends. So it’s only fitting that I make a bookmark about friendship. I definitely will be making more designs in the future. In the meantime, I think this duo is a great start.

I hope you have a wonderful day. Find one thing to make you smile today.

New Merch!

It’s that time again – new merch for the shop! I have three new items from my Fall Welly Bookmark Collection releasing today. It’s such a perfect day to release them in the shop because it is a rainy fall day and all I want to do is grab my books and blanket and read!

I made three designs for this bookmark collection because let’s face it, you can never have too many different color welly boots in your wardrobe so why not add them to your books.

These bookmarks were super fun to color with my Copics and there were endless color choices however I decided to limit it to three for this first release.

Be sure to stop by my Etsy shop if you would like to own one of them for your next book.

Have a wonderful day!

New Merch – Mother’s Day Cards!!

Hello! I am back and ready to share some Mother’s Day cards I have been working on. I decided to create two different designs.

floral design

The first is a floral design that has a close-up of beautiful lilacs. I own several lilac bushes and each year, I anxiously await the buds and blooms. The sweet aroma that fills my yard brings me so much joy. So I thought that would be nice to incorporate lilac’s which typically bloom around Mother’s Day, in a card design. I searched through my stamps and found a beautiful digital stamp and used my Silhouette to layout the design for the card front.

Asian-inspired design

The second design came about after a conversation with a friend who was looking for an asian-inspired design to send to her mother. I told her I would look through my supplies and come up with a design. This card has a beautiful Asian girl dressed in a kimono under a branch of cherry blossoms. I used my distress inks to create a colorful backdrop that makes the kimono pop. I did a little research about kimonos in Japan and found out that color and style are often determined by the time of year. For the month of May, the traditional colors worn are orange blossom yellow and purple. I designed the card on my Silhouette and added dimension by having the image diecut.

So if you are in the market for some handmade mother’s day cards that will make a mom happy, stop by my Etsy shop and order one now so I can get them to you in time.

Have a wonderful day!
