Shop Feature: Two Hand Design

A breath of fresh air is what I feel when I see the work of Two Hand Design. Vicky is a designer that creates these delightful paper products from a letterpress. She first started printing by hand in high school but first discovered letterpress in art school and has been hooked ever since. It took her quite a few years to find a press but she is now the proud owner of a Kelsey 6 x 8 tabletop.

Vicky's love of Folk art, mid century graphics, nature, pattern design, home decor, children's book illustrations inspire the work she creates. Sometimes her inspiration is a color combination or just an arrangement of items. She also likes to sew and to paint in watercolor in her spare time.

She carries beautiful gift tags.

Precious Molskine notebooks to carry in your bag or purse.

She has graciously offered this beautiful set of note cards to one of my readers. Just post a comment for a chance to win! The winner will be announced next Monday February 21st.

Making A Coloring book

I had this bright ideas to make a coloring book for my son to give his classmates at school for Christmas. Here a few pages from the book.

New Design

I have been a busy bee today working on a few new Christmas cards. The same design was used but one as a personalized card and the other can be used by anyone. The count down to Christmas begins!

Girl's room

Just adding a few key elements can add such character to a room. At least that is what I have tried to do to my daughter's room. Although my time is limited by having three kids, I managed to add a few spot illustrations to the room, along with painting grass all around the baseboards. Just adding a splash of color will bring flair to any room. That is my hope and desire as I live my life creatively!

Tis the season

It is so hard to believe that Christmas is fast approaching. So that means it is time to start making gifts for teachers, neighbors and friends. I think including a handmade item adds special meaning to the gifts you give. I like creating ornaments along with some yummy chocolates or some other special treat. I also like designing personalized stationery as a special gift. Whatever I do end up making, I hope they know this is a heartfelt appreciation of what they mean to me in a small way. This is my hope and desire as I live my life creatively!

Rainy Day

For almost a week it has been raining off and on in my area. Today my kids were going to school, but because of the horrible weather school was canceled due to flooding. So no creative time, no going to the post office to mail an order, that will have to wait. At this time my kids are getting along, though I am sure that will change in a few minutes. Thank you Lord for the rain, but could you make the rain, rain go away! Have a dry day you guys.

A Touch of Color

I added a little color to my existing tags and doodling away on some other ideas that are in my head. I am having fun with new ideas of fall and Christmas images.

Remembering the victims and families of 9/11.
