“Happy Days” is here!

CHA started today which means I can FINALLY show you the two new collections I’ve designed for Echo Park Paper!!

The first collection I’m going to show you is called Happy Days. It’s a mix of retro sayings and images along with bright happy patterns that should be a ton of fun to scrapbook and craft with. I have to admit this collection has some great embellishments. I absolutely love the layered chipboard, the chipboard, and the brads. Take a look…

 

 

Welcome to my new website!

Hi everyone! So glad you’ve found me. I decided it’s time to update my blog. I’m soooo excited about this new site! I think it will be a great forum for interacting and communicating with all who may be interested.

For years I’ve been mostly a “silent” designer… behind the scenes making products come to life for many companies like CK Media, Lisa Bearnson, Becky Higgins, Cratepaper, etc. I have some exciting news!! Things are changing a little bit. Let me explain…

  1. I am publishing my very own scrapbook products {with my name on them} through Echo Park Paper. Echo Park is a fairly new scrapbook manufacturer. They debuted just over a year ago. I’m thrilled to be partnered with them to bring scrapbooking products to you. If you have any ideas, themes, or suggestions for future collections, please feel free to contact me with the link above in the navigation bar.
  2. I also create digital die cutting shapes that are available through Silhouette. If you don’t have a silhouette, you need one! I think it’s the greatest invention since the Mac. With this handy tool you can simply plug it into your computer and cut any font you own and download individual shapes to cut for just $.99 from their online store. I have all sorts of shapes for sale at their online store including card kits, boxes, flowers, and so much more. I think my portfolio is pushing 1000 images right now. And, I’m adding new shapes each week. So much fun!
  3. And,… drum roll please… I am now designing fabric and have partnered with Riley Blake Designs. This is an awesome new adventure for me. I’ll keep you posted as that develops. But, as for now, it looks like my designs will debut at fall quilt market. I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on.

I’m so glad I’m able to share my designs from all these mediums with you and let you know what I’m working on.  My goal is to post more often so it doesn’t seem like I take month long vacations (which really isn’t ever the case… I’m just designing something). I’ll be sharing ideas, tips, recipes, tutorials… whatever is on my mind. So, visit often and leave comments. I really wish I could meet every one of you…. I know we’d be great friends.

Have a lovely day!
