Target!

Hello friends! I have some exciting news that I've been waiting ages to share. I have some designs that are on products currently on sale at Target! Yes! Me, in Target! One of my dreams, when I first started out in art licensing, was to have some designs in Target and it came true. (Thank you, Mary Beth!)

This photo shows 2 of the gift wrap patterns that are in the collection. There is also one more gift wrap pattern, gift bags, a gift box and some fun package embellishments. I'll have more pictures soon of the entire wall, but for now I just took this photo of the wrap that I bought when I was in the store the other day. The camera in my phone isn't working, so I'll have to go back and get a total picture some other day.

These items are located in the greeting cards and gift wrap section of the store, because they are considered more for everyday packaging, rather than being in the full blown Christmas wrap area.

More to come! I just had to share what I have now because it's so exciting to me!

lucks cakes

 

In the world of Art Licensing, you never know what kind of proucts your designs will end up on. I was so excited that these designs of mine were chosen by Luck's Cakes, to be used as edible cake decorations.

Their new catalog just came out and these will be available soon.

little red and the wolf

It's time for our monthly post over at We Love to Illustrate. This month, we take on fairy tale characters and do our own take on them. I, of course, had to create Little Red and the Big, Bad Wolf. She's just so classic and fun to do. I chose to use a limited color palette to really showcase the red and to create a spooky(ish) forest scene. To see all the other awesome illos by my blog buddies, go here.

a sneak peek - wall decals

I have some wall decals coming out this fall for Roomates and I happened to see a sneak peek of one of them, over on their blog, so I thought I would share it, too. Here's what they said about this one:

"Tree wall decals continue to be popular decorating options for nurseries and bedrooms, and I think this next addition is going to be no exception. We've combined a sweet little tree with stylish pink and purple alphabet letters and patterned animal friends to create this fun (and educational!) alphabet tree. This would look so sweet in a little girl's nursery! Not a fan of the colors? Don't fret: we've got more options coming down the road, from the looks of things."

They have a fun jungle set coming out soon, too, that I designed. Thank you, Roomates!

Owls in the Woods

I've been meaning to post about some fabric that I designed that is available at JoAnn Fabrics and I finally am getting the chance to blog about it. It's called Owls in the Woods and is made from a cool new fabric called Slicker. It's got a soft laminated surface, so it would be great for raincoats, tote bags, tablecloths, etc. Here's some screen shots from JoAnn's website:

FREE back to school downloadable stickers!

download here

I can hardly believe that we are already thinking of Back to School stuff, but that's what's happening over at my group blog, We Love to Illustrate. We all made some FREE downloadable stickers for the kiddos, when they head back to school. There's lots of variety - book plates, lunchbox stickers, this belongs to me stickers, etc. Here's what I did and to see the rest of the groups fun creations, head on over here.
