One of my favorite prints from this years collection is the new daisy paisley.
It started with a few hand sketches...
And ended with one of my favorite cards!
I was not alone in liking this card, it has made the finals for the Best New Product Competition at the National Stationery Show!
After yesterday's fun nautical pinterest finds I thought it would be a good time to share my inspiration for our new Anchor's Away card!
Nautical Inspiration...
Anchor's Away Card...
Every American child learns the song, "Old McDonald had a farm" at a very young age; I can remember singing it with my nephew when he was just under 2. It is such a great song because you can stick to traditional farm animals, or you can get silly and start being elephants, hippos, or frogs. We seem to do anything to keep children entertained.
So when I sat down to design new children's stationery for 2012, this song continued to play on repeat in my mind and here is this years version, soon to be available online!
I'm so excited about this years new patterns, and I think you will be too!
We aren't quite ready to share the whole collection with you, but I wanted to give you a little preview to wet your appetite! Enjoy.
Some people see the world in black and white, I very clearly see it in color. Everywhere I go, I find interesting new things that I love turning into patterns and cards.
I thought I would start trying to share some of these things with you, so today's is a popular card, "Bamboo", and it was inspired by a tree outside the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.
