Preview for my new promo postcard

Happy 2014 everyone!

Here's a preview of my new promo postcard. 

I'm trying to update my blog as it's been a long time since I wrote a post or added any new work.

Personalised Christening Printables

Here's the latest personalised printables I have been requested to design. It was a lovely pretty, girly one to do.

I could easily be changed to a birthday set too.

Invitation, toppers and paper bunting.

What do you think?

Valentines feedback

After my little freebie on Monday, I was delighted to see that some of you had downloaded them and made them up. I have just seen some great photos from Marie over at heartfelt handmade she had a fabulous valentines tea party! go and see her blog and read the whole story. She's also got a lovely page on facebook.

Hope you don't mind me using the photo Marie.

I think they look great and looks like the girls had fun making them too.

Anyone else who chose to print the toppers out I'd love to see what you made with them.

Thanks x

Valentines Day freebie!!

Hi folks

Sorry its been a crazy month - 6 weeks with work. The company I do a lot of studio time for was exhibiting at Harrogate and then the NEC, so I've been away rather a lot setting up and helping to man the stands hence being incredibly quiet on here and not posted for ages.

So to make it up to you I've made you a little freebie ready for Valentine's Day tomorrow.

Just print these out, punch or cut them out and use them how you wish. Maybe decorate a sweet treat, thread some ribbon through and use as a tag for that special gift or even use as a seal on the back of your special card for a loved one.

birds and butterflies thank you

Hope you all have had a lovely Christmas. It was all a bit manic with orders in December.

I did this little design last night working on thank you cards for my Christmas presents.

I think it would be nice for a wedding invitations or a lovely personalised print!

Have a fantastic New Year!!! Ill try and post more next week.

Retro minis

Here's a couple of prints I've been working on with a retro mini. I tried with a just pattern in bright blues, reds and whites and then I tried it with the Union Jack too. What do you think?

It can be personalised with a name of your choice. Frame it up to brighten any boys (or car loving girls) bedroom or study.

Personalised Owl Print

Here'd a personalised owl print I've worked on. It's an 8 x 10' print that can be personalised with any name and a date if required. Would make a great print framed up in any children's room.

Number Flashcards

I whipped up these number flashcards for a friends little boy, George.

I need to continue up to 20 for him really but here's the first 10.

Sneaky peek at some wrap designs

Here's a small peek at what I've been working on lately. It's a range of wrap designs. Potentially 4 designs per set so there's still work to do and final tweeks to make. What do you think?

Halloween

Halloween is fastly approaching as is Christmas, yes I did say Christmas.

Here's the start of some halloween themed Toppers and Invitations that are going to be part of my Printable DIY range. I can personalise them just for you too. Please feel free to message me for more details. There will be a matching Banner and other products to come.

Christmas ones will be on the way shortly, watch this space.

L is for Lion

Just a little something I've been playing with. I might try and do the whole alphabet??

Name print ideas

Here's a couple of ideas I was working on for name prints. Good for new baby present or christening. can be any colourway, have any mix of words you'd like and I can change the icon, it doesn't have to be the little owl.

Big Red London Bus

Yay my bags and tea towels turned up yesterday. Managed to get a few photos with them on the washing line. What do you think? I'm really pleased with them. They are for sale, anyone who is interested drop me an email or leave me a comment. I only have a handful at the moment and will be getting some more. Thanks.

Red London Buses : part 2

Hi, Thank you all for all your lovely comments and suggestions on here and on facebook.

I've tweaked the design alittle after the feedback and think it has made lots of difference :) I'm now looking into several options on this after a request for it as printed fabric.

Think the tea towel idea is cool too so I'm also on the look out for that.

Red London buses

Getting into the whole British, London, Olympic, Royal wedding vibe at the moment I've got some ideas for a little range I will hopefully get time to work on.

Here's the start with the good 'ole Red London Routemaster Bus, what do you think???

white background or blue??

Funky tea time

I whizzed these up between my sewing this evening.... what do you think??

Is it worth me do more designs and making a mini range?

Christmas is coming

Well the shops are getting all Christmassy again already and we've not even had halloween yet. Yes I feel it is a little early even though I work on it all year round.

It was nice to see this week though when I popped in the BHS to get some samples of my cards that are in this year.
Sorry the photos aren't very good atall, they were quick sneaky snaps on my not so great camera phone. there is low res images in the illustration page of my blog here

I will be off to hunt the rest of what I had printed this year in the run up to Christmas and will be posting them as I find them :)

Hope you like them

Packaging

Here's some close ups of some packaging I've been working on. I like the bright Funky text and the layered feel to the second image.

Lollipop childminders

My oldest friend is a childminder and she wanted a new logo. Her and her friend are now working under a umbrella and sharing workload when necessary. They gave me an idea of what they wanted and here's the result. They are very pleased with it and it will be going across all their new paper work as well as a logo on t-shirts etc.

Snowflakes and swirls

Anyone else feeling Christmassy yet??? I never know when to anymore as (if I haven't told you before) I work on Christmas all year round and have done for the last 10 years.

Here's a couple of snowflakes and pretty swirls I've worked on recently.
