new year, new designs!
Can someone seriously pinch me? Go on… do it – because let me just tell you, i still can’t believe that 2009 is coming up on its last few days. I mean.. in just a few short days, we will start a new decade! A new decade means so much. Some things i can share now, some i can’t. So you will just have to check back for some goodies.
It really blows my mind how much has changed this past year not only in my personal life, but my professional life as well. It is so very exciting and because i can barely sleep at night as i put together new designs, i thought i would share!
These little animals were inspired by the board game Forest Friends. I had mentioned it back when i introduced my holiday cards. (yes… that game that i supposedly cheated playing. Hey, cut me some slack, i think i was like 6). I own a vintage copy that my aunt gave me, so when the little ones come to visit i pull it out of the closet. You will notice that Ellie the bird makes an appearance in this suite too, along with some other fluttery friends. These will be letterpressed as well for all the paper phanatics out there!
I look forward to sharing all of my new designs with you as we enter a new decade!

I’m going to make some too!
“I’m going to make those too!”
Those were the words to used to say to my mother whenever we would visit the local Hallmark store growing up.
Just incase you haven’t checked out my shop page, you should! I’m thrilled to share 2 new designs for letterpress holiday cards this year. Keep checking back for new cards, as I’ll add them on slowly. Designing cards has always been a dream of mine. I can clearly remember being 5 years old and taking dance lessons on Friday afternoons. Afterwards, my mother used to take my two sisters and me to spend our allowance. Well, my choice was to go to the local Hallmark store to spend mine. I just had to have Hello Kitty stickers and My Melody notepads and cards. I remember thinking to myself how fun if I could “make those!” Well now I have!
The bird is named after my niece Ellie. She is a nature phanatic and knows the names of so many birds. The Ellie card will be a part of an illustrated line i am working on that is also inspiration from my childhood. Does anyone remember the board game ‘Forest Friends’? I used to play (and try to cheat sometimes so i am told), and i now have a vintage copy. (Did i just say that? Makes me feel old). I have illustrated a few of the forest animals for everyday cards, so keep your eyes out for those.
