About My Playground

After years of trying to figure out what I wanted to do I've come back to something I truly love, designing stationery. I am getting excited about design again! Love being surrounded by amazing talent from all over the world.

Oh thank you Smeeta! I think my mom instincts kicked in and I felt that I needed to stop it before any more damage was done : ( On a happier note, I wish I could go to your Australia meet up!! My mom and aunt went to Australia last year for 10 days and they could not stop talking about how amazing and diverse the country is. I hope I can go there one day, but until then, enjoy your beautiful country!! : ) And thanks again for reassuring me that I did the right thing : )

Hi Smeeta.. Thank you for your sweet comment on my "frappuccino " notecard design.. I was thinking that the illustration might turned out to be a little childish, but I'm glad you liked it.. Thx again.. ;)

Smeeta, I agree with your concerns. One thing I would also point out is they flip-flopped Kevin + Juliana on the top left but not the initials on the bottom right.

Thanks for the advice! I understood what you guys were saying, you'll for sure shake your head at my revisions, because i had about 30 minutes at work to fix it, and the crappy part is apparently my office has taken away privledges for installing new fonts.. Terrible, i know! I just wish i had asked for advice earlier.

i think i can send you the link..not sure it will work, but what the heck.. http://pinterest.com/pin/213498838554854684/ Pinterest sucks you in at first to see all the things other people 'pin' to their pinboards, but after a while it really just becomes a place to pin inspiring things and images from websites or things you want or love or you can even scan images you want to save.. its a great idea.. but i find it to be slow as molasses.. i think too many people have been sucked in.

Hey there! i was just roaming around Pinterest at stationary designs and i recognized your beautiful winning design pinned to someones board. I was all proud that i recognized it;) and then i scrolled down a little further and i found someone had pinned one of my save the date submissions.. what a warm and fuzzy (yet truly odd) feeling! just thought i would share;)

Thank you for the advice on my princess card. I have played around wth it a little bit and made it a little more girly and lightened it up a bit. I am a little annoyed becaseu the contrasting font does not show up on the website like it does in illustrator. 'happy birthday' and 'princess michelle' should contrast each other in matilde and matilda sketch.. so one is lighter thaqn the other.. oh well.. may i should try something else..

Thanks for the helpful feedback on Look Out - I really appreciate it! I'm probably not going to have time to modify it before the desdline, so I will probably just delete it because I'm thinking it's not there, yet, also. If I do make any changes, I'll let you know! :-)

Thank you so much for your help! I have been thinking about your comments and how to improve my design all week. I have been working on a different design as well so I will get back to Rockstar soon;) I cant tell you how much I appreciate your help and advice. You are so totally right, I can make pretty pictures all day, but the true art is being able to marry the type into the design. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks soooo much for commenting on my Mister Mister. I have enjoyed working on it for sure. We are so on the same page...I initially gave one of the hats a plaid look and it did not pan out so well but still very open to turning the plaid border to chocolate. You are the best and I appreciate your support!! Rock on girlie!!

Hi Smeeta, I so appreciate your comment. Current style was not what I was going for, but I appreciate the link. The idea was more of that sixties movie poster look, which is very gridless and busy, intended for throw back movie lovers. Again, thank you so much for your insightful feedback.

My practice is not look at what is being submitted for that very reason but when i visit the site it is so hard not to do so. I finally sat down and just wrote out all ideas and trying to take one at a time. Thanks for the words of wisdom!! The door is wide open to continue to provide any stand out thoughts on anything I submit. I love it all, good and bad. By the way,,,,I really like your Love give us a Fairytale.
