About SimpleTe Design

Being creative is my passion, and I love all aspects of design. I am a stay-at-home mom, and I do a little of everything; including sewing, sketching, and a little home decor and design. However, it wasn't until the birth of my daughter that I discovered my LOVE for all things paper! Soon thereafter, I came across Minted and was instantly hooked. Over the last several years I have developed my own personal design style and put my energy into the start-up of my own studio, Simple te Design.

Hi, Erin! Just wanted to thank you for your holiday card - your daughter is super adorable! Love your hand-drawn wreath, and the coordinating backer and label were perfect! Much happiness and continued success to you in 2012!

Hi Erin, thanks for the good advice. I also added a few curved lines to right side of rope pattern and wonder if better or should I switch versions. Can you tell I've lost my objectivity on this one? Thanks again.

Hi Erin.. I love your fabric note design, and I'm really in love with the shade of pink you used. I'm currently working on my website design, and my main color is blush pink. I would love to know which pink you used for your design.. Thx..

Thanks so much for the welcome Erin! I just realized I probably should've posted this to your profile first, but I responded to you on my own! Learning the ropes, I guess! :)

hi erin, your latest submission is really classic and cool. I think it's a bowler/derby hat image though. =D

Instead of commenting on every single one of your designs I thought I would just come & tell you that I love them all. You have such a clean & consistent style & are a great inspiration :)
