Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Kick your feet up and stay a while.
I recently did a little project for the bulletin board in the Relief Society room at church (women’s meeting room). It’s 23 inches by 46.5 inches tall, and in the freebie, I have left the top area blank so you can add your own ward name. The font I used is called “Weston,” if you’d like to duplicate the look. …
Things have been quiet here on the blogfront. I’m always doing and trying new things in my spare time. In an effort to branch out and stretch my skills a bit, I have entered the Design Challenge at Minted.com. I have entered several different wedding invite designs into the current competitions. Click them below if you’d be willing to help …
I am quite behind in my posting. This spring I was in a beautiful production of “The Secret Garden” directed by Jim Christian. It was a wonderful experience for me. I was cast as Mrs. Medlock, the temperamental housekeeper at Misselthwaite Manor and de-facto carekeeper of Mary Lennox, the main character in this story. It was a delightful experience for …
I’m really excited to be a part of Sarah Sullivan’s CT over at Design House Digital. Here are some recent layouts with her product. the first one uses papers and elements from “Be Bold”, and the second one uses papers and elements from “This is Now”.
Hi friends! Wanting to customize your own version of the “Be Yourself” wall art? Well, today’s the day! Click the image above to download the layered Photoshop file (97 MB). Open in Photoshop. All of my instructions will be based on Adobe Photoshop CS5. If you have a different version of Photoshop, then you may have to adapt my instructions …
Subway art. I like it. I think I am holding out for perfection…something unique that says the right thing. I keep trying to find the perfect quote for my wall….my personal manifesto, my mission statement. So, I guess I’ll have to write it out myself at some point. However, from time to time I find quotes that will hopefully lead …
I saw a quote today that I felt deserved a prominent place in my home, so I twiddled around a bit in Photoshop and came up with a design that I think I like. I’d like to find a cool, modern maple or birch frame for it, as I’ve designed it to fit in an 8×10 frame. I love to …
When I was in Portugal, I was frequently served some version of this dish. It surprised me a little—after all, I previously considered rice to be an Asian food staple—but I really loved it. Well, surprise, surprise guess who loves it too?? Food allergy boy!! This is great news. Of course, since he’s three and highly suspicious of anything newfangled, …
I didn’t think I particularly liked “A Christmas Carol,” but auditioning for it was a part of my “strategic” plan to improve my résumé. I didn’t think I’d really get into the spirit of Christmas. I didn’t think I’d particularly connect with it at all. Funny how I always think that, but turn out to be completely wrong. Like the …
It’s a good thing my kids don’t care too much about my design life, so I can post this here without risk of ruining the Christmas surprise. For the Minecraft cuff, I searched for images from MInecraft, copied one into my photo editing software and then printed it out on iron-on paper. I wondered if it would work. It wasn’t …
