Look What I Made

Ombré Rain | New Printables in the Shop!

Introducing Ombré Rain, my new March printables are in the shop! This month, I was inspired by bright, spring hues and watercolors. I wanted to create a set that can work for pages transitioning from winter to spring. But really, they can be used all year round. I'm not huge on themed products but definitely wanted to include a couple St. Patrick's Day references.

You can shop my new Ombré Rain designs here. The Candy Crush & Jumpstart sets are still available too!

 

Also, congrats to Julia who won my stamp giveaway! I'll be emailing you. Thanks to everyone who entered. I should do another one of those! ;)

The Pocket Source + A Giveaway!

Something fun! I'm over at the The Pocket Source today for their first ever Friday Feature. I'm sharing a few Project Life spreads and my stamps. If you're new here, hi and welcome! Hope you'll stay a while! 

And, on a whim, I decided to do a stamp giveaway! To win a stamp, take a look at the stamps in my shop, and leave a comment here with what stamp you'd like to win. (Return address stamps are excluded from the giveaway.)

You can get an extra entry by spreading the word about my stamps. If you share on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Pinterest, just leave another comment saying so and you'll earn an extra entry!

This giveaway is open to everyone, not just the US. I'll draw a random winner next Friday (3/7) at noon CST.

If you're new or if you've been here for a while, thank you for reading. Especially lately while the posts have been sparce!

Candy Crush - New Printables

 

Introducing Candy Crush - new printables in the shop! It's February and that means Valentine's Day. I was feeling non-traditional this month, so I added orange, navy and aqua to the candy colored palette. I wanted to be sure that these could be used in Valentine's Day projects, as well as everyday projects. I love printables because they can be used in Project Life, traditional or digital scrapbooking. 

You can shop my new Candy Crush designs here. The Jumpstart set is still available too!

New Stamps!

I cannot stop making stamps, you guys. It's addicting in the very best way. I updated my shop with my most recent designs. I have a few Valentine's Day designs (love, smooches & xoxo!). I really wanted these designs to be neutral enough for everyday use as well. 

The most exciting part of this shop update is that I was able to legitimize my business and lower prices a bit. Always a good thing. :)  

(Sorry, I cannot lower the price on custom stamps right now.)

I purchased this old letterpress drawer for $20 to house all my stamps. I propped it up on a window sill in the office near my desk. The larger ones are just sitting in front of it since they don't fit. So far it's working well and I love having them on display! 

So, check out my new stamps! Thanks for your support! :)

Stamps!

Hooray, hooray! Over the weekend – with a little encouragement – I decided to add these fun stamps I designed to my Etsy shop. I have six different designs, all written in my own handwriting. They were designed with Project Life in mind, or to decorate some happy mail to your friends and family.

I also have a custom listing set up in case you have a funny phrase or inside joke you've always want made into a stamp. I promise I won't judge! The custom stamp would be perfect to show off your One Little Word - just sayin'. Shop my new stamps here and don't forget my printables here!

Something New (!!)

Brand new! Printable designs are available in my shop! I have been thinking about this for a long while now and decided to finally go for it. Offering digital downloads in is the perfect way for me to combine my love for Project Life and scrapbooking with my hand lettering and graphic design experience. I mean, no brainer, right?

The first set I've created is called "Jumpstart". I recoginize the irony of launching a new project for January in mid-January. And the fact that I'm hardly "jumpstarting" the year with a release 14 days into it, but work with me people. I, personally, have just gotten my year off to a good, solid start so I'm rolling with it. 

This new venture all comes back to my One Little Word. I have wanted to do this for some time, have even drawn up sketches and designs, but now I've actually done it. I drummed up some focus and got things done. Right now, I plan to offer new sets monthly, launching on or around the 1st of the month. A February set is already in the works. You can download sets in my Etsy shop here. Thank you for your support!

Full disclosure - This is my first time doing anything like so if you encounter any issues at all, please feel free to email me or contact me through Etsy. I want this to be a good experience for all!

Paper Bakery Kits Design Team

Hooray! Hooray! I'm happy to be joining the Paper Bakery Kits Design Team for the first half of this year. It's a great kit club with many different options. I'll be mainly working with the Scrapbook Kit, but there are also kits for Capture 365 (Project Life), Mixed Media and Project Kits. Truly something for everyone. I cannot wait to get my first kit and get working. 

Check out Paper Bakery Kits here and be sure to watch the blog for the crazy 7 day sale that's happening right now!

New Look!

I'm working on a fresh, new look for the old blog. Things might look a little funky for a couple days while I figure all this HTML coding out and playing with the design.

What do you think so far? I'm addicted to black and white these days.

You're Going to Be Seeing A Lot More of Me!

You know the saying, 'When it rains it pours...,' well it's pouring. And I couldn't be more excited about it! I'm expanding my design team resume with some really fun opportunities.

 

Whimsical Twist Design Team - Kimmie runs an adorable online scrapbooking shop called Whimsical Twist. This is the first ever Design Team and I'm super honored to be on a team with such a talented and enthusiastic bunch of ladies. We've been chatting up a storm on fun challenge and project ideas for the Whimsical Twist blog and shop. It all starts on Monday so be sure you are following along here! And if you're looking for some inspiration, check out the rest of the team here.

 

Little Yellow Bicycle 'Feels Like Home' Cycling Team - I was also invited to be a guest designer for manufacturer, Little Yellow Bicycle. My projects will all be made using their new 'Feels Like Home' Collection. The collection is bright and bold, which is perfect for me and my style. I especially can't wait to get my hands on this denim chevron paper and these die cut words. I don't own a die-cutting machine so I love getting my hands on pre-cut items.

 

I'm also going to be a Featured Designer on another blog soon. I am honestly not sure if I should be keeping it a secret or not, so I better hold off on sharing more details until I'm 100% sure I'm allowed to share. I will say that I will be showcasing my favorite Project Life pages and answering a few fun questions. 

Along with that, I'm still super happy to be designing for Simple Scrapper. The new August Team Gallery will be released shorty. And have you seen Jennifer's new Big Picture Classes class? 

 

So - lots going on around here! I do apologize that this post is a little promotion-y but I have been so excited to share all this news. Thanks for reading and sharing in my excitement. I still pinch myself everyday that people (other than my mom) (hi mom!) read my blog. I appreciate you all very much!
