I'm finally feeling warm after sooooooooo many cold + dreary days...this is outside the back door of my favorite store...the Grey Colt

alphabet poster

I'm working on this alphabet poster for my lovely niece julie who is having her first baby...the room is a sweet ocean/nautical theme....I need to get moving, the baby shower is next weekend. p.s. don't tell nate I'm working on this cuz I'm supposed to be doing some "less exciting" work for TDAC ; )

Louie Award!

I was blown away when I heard that my holiday design won a Louie Award at the recent Stationary show in NYC....I sent my original concept (the aqua + white) to Great Arrow Graphics who changed up the color to this lovely copper ink against green. They are "Masters of the Color Universe" in my mind!!! Their beautiful hand silk-screened process took this card to the next level...they make all of my designs look SO much better! see more here

brooklyn NY

...so many fun things to share about my trip to nyc for the stationary/surtex show...but my side venture over to brooklyn was a hi-light!!!! found these luscious red shoes at "mongo" - 246 smith st. + spent a long time in my favorite boutique "swallow" - 361 smith st.
