Happy things

Mondays usually aren't the happiest day of my week. But today is an exception because I can finally share some news I've been keeping secret for a while. I'm joining the My Little Shoebox Design Team!

Here's one of the projects I created for the call:

It's a multi-fold mini album with lots of different panels. Some have paper, some have photos, some are stamped. Lots of options! I used this tutorial to figure out the folds.

On Saturday, I got my first shipment of product -- a box stuffed to the brim with the four most recent collections. I'm so excited to dig into this...

Head over to the My Little Shoebox blog to see the full announcement and new team.

I'm looking forward to a fun year of working with some really adorable products! Thanks, My Little Shoebox, for welcoming me to your team!

News from the Porch

I have some happy news to share today: I've joined the design team for Front Porch Kits by The Little Blue House!

If you're not familiar with The Little Blue House, it's an adorable art studio and store in Keller, Texas, and they have the most wonderful kits and classes. They're so creative in mixing some unexpected textures and goodies into each of their kits. Take a look at this beauty they released last week:

It's called Nature's Charm, and there are very few of them left, so go snag one while you can on their new website: www.thelittlebluehouseonline.com


There you'll also find tons of inspiration and ideas -- layouts, cards, home decor, mini albums and more -- for each kit they release. I can't wait to see what's in store for the next kit!
