New Packaging for Greeting Cards
Yea me! New packaging is one of my goals for the month of June and I just got it in under the wire. I chose a kraft box with a classic stitched grosgrain ribbon in black & white. The tags are two cardstock circles. The smaller circle is in white linen with the RiverDog Prints…… Continue Reading
Favorite Book Covers
Appreciating books is a daily occurrence here, but I wanted to share a few of my favorite covers. My very favorite cover and book is To Kill a Mockingbird.

I recently had a post about drawing (which you can read here) and thought what a great idea it would be to put a call out for more of us to draw, by hand, for the whole world to see. Or at least the small following of this blog 🙂 So, besides the header above…… Continue Reading
Introducing Font Love
Fonts are one of my first loves. As a child, I would be drawn to certain kinds of type on books or toys. It didn’t surprise me then, as it does now, the feelings that fonts could evoke. Letters are an art form we all take for granted everyday. I will try on a weekly…… Continue Reading
Introducing Techie Tuesday
Are you intrigued? What does a girl who creates stationery and greeting cards know about technology? Well, I’m far from an expert, but I’d like to share some of the knowledge I’ve learned along the way.
