Updates and surprises!

So what's been keeping me so busy that I've missed a few daily posts here? Well one of the things I've been doing behind the scenes is designing a few new holiday Cartograms for the Cartolina app. Here's a sneak peek at one of the new designs. In a couple of weeks we'll be adding some of the holiday Cartograms from last year's Seasons Greetings app to the regular Cartolina app - and including a few new designs too. These will be a *free update* and I hope you love the designs! Stay tuned - you should see the update soon! AND we'll be launching our big surprise project in about 3 weeks as well - I can hardly wait. I hope you've signed up to be first to hear about it - you can sign up on the left << over there!

Ephemera sheets

What do you think of these new sheets from Anthropologie? I sort of like them especially when they are combined with other pieces. From here.

I saw this ages ago and ran across it again yesterday. Concrete lace by Doreen Westphal. It's so beautiful isn't it? More information right here.

It's been a while since I checked out the lovely and unusual collections at Lost and Found - and they are bigger and better than ever - check it out.

Giardino

I just discovered the wonderful, block printed world of Giardino - and I'm hooked! Love the simplicity and scale of these designs. The colours are wonderful too :-)

Cartolina at Lilla Rogers

Our Cartolina page is now up at Lilla Roger's website which is very exciting. We have had lots of interest in licensing since we started with Lilla's studio and we're looking forward to Printsource in January and SURTEX in May - not forgetting Lilla's Open House on November 9th. Check out our page, our bio and our studio - it's very fun!

If you're interested in licensing any of our artwork for your next project you can contact Lilla here.

Style at Home holiday card 2011

A few months ago the ladies at Style at Home asked me to design them a holiday card to send to their clients etc. I sent them 3 to choose from and they decided to turn it into a little competition in the November issue of the magazine and on their website. There's still time to vote if you like on their site. There are about 115 votes right now - they are going to choose a winner from all the votes - and the winner will get some nice Cartolina holiday cards - and I might pick a couple more winners too. So go now and vote - do me proud ;-)
