Mock-ups for "Dreamseeds Organics", Part 5

Kris loves the latest design but wanted to see how the hills would look if they were a bit darker (they looked florescent on her friend's computer; we certainly don't want that with this design!)

Newest mock-ups. First image is the original, second had darker hills, third has the same hills as the second but with a capital "D" for the shop name.

Mock-ups for "Dreamseeds Organics", Part 3

I'm loving working on this design with Kris!

She liked the bird facing her shop name but wanted to try a different type of bird, more curvy tree, different tag-line font, and purple background.

Here are a few mock-ups! Click images to view larger:

Full size with gradient background. This might be my favorite; though it's a close call between this and the other tree!

Spotted Box Samples Sent

I've participated in The Spotted Box before and loved it! It's a fantastic way to advertise and I really enjoy receiving my own box. :)

Next month they have an ad set up for "Mothering Magazine", which should bring in a large amount of traffic.

I decided to offer my mini-samples again for The Box, using three of my newer, most popular printable images: "Goldfish in a Baggie", "Chocolate Rainbow Lollipop", and "Modern Tree of Life". I included printed instructions for ironing on the transfer, along with a business card with a discount code printed on the back. :)

Look for us in The Spotted Box on the 15th of March, April, and May!

Mini Samples cut out and ready to be assembled.
Some samples stapled together.

Packaged in zip-top baggies to prevent any water damage while in transit and make sorting easier for April and Jordan.
Signed, sealed, and (soon-to-be) delivered! I love that they all fit in a Priority Mail Envelope.

Note: yes, this endeavor did take several days to complete. Oh how I love seeing finished projects ready to be delivered!

Spoonflower Contest: Snow!

Spoonflower is an amazing company where users upload designs and the company turns them into beautiful fabrics, available for purchase by everyone!

We've finally decided to be brave and enter our first contest at Spoonflower. Theme: Snow.

I LOVE the Retro Snowflake Tree design I created in November and thought it would make a gorgeous fabric. I created 5 more colors for a total of 9 different colored trees. My awesome husband suggested placing some of the trees upside down. I made the background a very light blue and added larger, matching snowflakes for greater contrast and depth to the design.

Here's my entry image! (click image to view larger)

Retro Snowflake Tree

New printable design now available!

Inspiration for my Retro Snowflake Tree came from the trees in our front yard and the beautiful snow falling at country cottage this time of year. I wanted to incorporate some retro-type colors and learned a new technique in Photoshop to create the gradient color burst. :)

I'm very happy with how it turned out! I think I'll be using it as part of our family Christmas cards this year.
