I've finally posted my first item in my Etsy shop!!
Frosted Pillow Box
This pillow box is made from some very elegant paper. I love the subtle hint of silver shine on the leaves. I see using some of those pastel mints to fill this pillow box.

First Etsy Listing
I love to work with graphic design on the computer but also enjoy amateur Photography and basic arts & crafts.
I earned my BFA in Graphic Design from ACU where many very talented teachers taught and fine tuned my skills into what they are today.
I started out just enjoying to sketch and draw but ACU turned me on to the joy of creating with digital. I mainly use the Adobe Creative Suite programs my parents were so nice to purchase for me. In the past I've been known to dabble with animated gifs using other programs as well but have since slacked with that and am quite rusty.
I've enjoyed finding work to do with my church congregation, family, friends and locals for all varieties of projects and designs.
I started off hired as a contract graphic designer for a local news paper working on the advertisements and have since been hired on full time to be the PrePress Supervisor for the Advertising Department.
I'm a full time wife and mom as well, love doing projects for them in our home. My little daughter has started enjoying coloring and drawing so it's fun to think up ways to pass on the fun!

My vinyl came in today!
I have to laugh a little that the very day I posted about the vinyl I had ordered is the day that it showed up on my door step. All these pretty colors. Now to start sketching out my designs to use with them! I purposely bought extra green for the grass design I've been working on.
On a side note someone seeing my previous blog mentioned to me a great site that has all kinds of cool vinyl art to choose from! It's very inspiring! You can check it out too at http://sejones.uppercaseliving.net/Home.m

Nursery Decorations Ideas
My Aunt(in-law) Jean Shrewsbury introduced me to this new decorating art a few months ago. A lot of stores are starting to sell them too. It's the Vinyl Words(see examples at Amazon.com)
Poetry. The great thing about them for me is that they aren't permenant. You can put them up, take them down without worrying about messing up your walls. Being a house renter that's a great thing!
The other day while reading more info on my Craft ROBO I saw that it can be used for coming up with vinyl designs. With a baby on the way my husband and I have been working on preparing a nursery for her and wanting to make it colorful and fun for her. Being limited to our white walls we figured we would have to hang up a lot of things.
But now I have some cool vinyl samples on the way and a few designs in the making for sproosing up her room.
I can't wait for them to arrive! They will certainly save the walls from having a lot of nails and will allow for me to do more designing indoors in the Central AC. For a while I was coming up with wood ideas but that meant going out into the storage shed in this muggy hot weather and using our jigsaw. Not something I was looking forward to.

small box
I've been playing around with various accessories and how to use them on the pillow boxes. And have a few small sample papers that I've been using as well.
Soon I should have this down and really get down to creating.
I also came across this cool box design. Figured it could come in handy for small presents like Jewelry
Other then that I've been busy with doing Vacation Bible School projects for my church and trying to update some other websites that I currently run. I've also been looking into a better design for this blog. There are a lot of cool templates out there.
