A Quick Recap...

It's been a little while since the last post. Here's a quick recap in pictures of what's happened over the past few weeks in work and in life!

It was Got Craft? weekend April 27-28th. It was a busy week leading up to the event and plenty of prep work, but it was so worth it in the end! I was incredibly happy and honoured to be a part of Poppytalk's Got Craft blog post on scenes from the event.

 

I got to debut my new City Notecards, which were just ready at the printers the day before.

I was also fortunate to get the end table, so thought I would make a little note to passer-byers (is that even a word?) with a "hi" :)

It wouldn't have been the same without Simple Soap. Other than being able to share a table with my good friends, it was great to be smelling yummy soap all day! I just can't get enough of their Oatmeal Honey bar.

I took the following Monday off and enjoyed a beautiful, albeit very windy, afternoon walking around Stanley Park. Capped the day off with a coffee + reading session at JJBean :)

The weather continued to be summer-like this past weekend, so we took hike up to Quarry Rock in Deep Cove. This picture doesn't do the view justice, but believe me when I say, it was gorgeous up there!

...And that caps off the past few weeks. I'm actually surprised I don't have any food pics to show you! Guess I've been a little too busy eating to take pics! xo, Val

{LAUNCH!} New Collection In Shop

After several months of sketching and editing, back to sketching then editing (repeat this multiple times and in reverse order), my new Spring 2013 Collection is out! I'm incredibly excited and happy about the way the cards turned out. With this collection I wanted the designs to be a little brighter, more colourful, and cheerful, while still staying true to the same overall style of my past collections.

There are a few themes:

For Foodies: Many of my new cards have been inspired by my love for good food and sweet treats.

For Him: Who says there aren't any good cards for guys out there? I made sure to include a selection for Father's Day as well.

For Her: From Mother's Day cards to a 'just because' note for your best girlfriend.

I would love to hear what you think of the new cards. I'll have them at the upcoming Got Craft? event happening April 27 - 28 at the Maritime Labour Centre in Vancouver. You can also view the complete new collection and get the cards in the shop HERE first!

 

Got Craft? weekend all wrapped up!

Here are a few snapshots I took on my phone from this past weekend's craft fair. The week leading up to it was incredibly busy, but so worth it! The hours just flew by. I got a chance to debut a few new designs and get some direct feedback (I always enjoy seeing how people react to the cards). It was so nice to share a booth with my friends over at Simple Soap and to meet so many other great local vendors. Huge thanks to everyone who visited and to Lotus Events for organizing such an amazing event!
