Be My Valentine - A Valentine's Day Card Roundup

Hi there. How are you?

Valentine's Day is no big deal at our house. No cards, no presents. It really just another day for us. We even used to host an Anti-Valentine's Day party when we lived in Rockford.

I don't do Valentine's day, but I must admit that I love paper valentines and always have. I have fond memories of decorating the shoe box to bring to school and exchanging goofy E.T., Care Bear and Rainbow Brite themed cards with all the kids in my class. As an adult, I'd send out homemade Valentines to friends and family instead of sending Christmas cards.

I've designed a new valentine this year featuring my sweet little fairy wrens. I've always thought they looked like they were talking to each other, and this is what I imagine they'd say.

Do you send/give valentines? There are so many artful, irreverent, and quirky Valentines available these days. I've pulled together a selection of my personal faves I've found on Etsy.  Enjoy!

1. You Make Me Happy by Meg Gleason/Moglea
2.You're Doing it Wrong by JulieAnnArt
3. Foxy Valentine by Michele Maule
4. There is Nobody Else by Emily McDowell
5. Capture my Heart by Jenipher Lyn/Nightly Doodles
6. You're Cute by Me!

That's all for now friends. Ta-Ta!

2013 Holiday Cards are Here!

Hi There. How are you?

I'm happy to present my 2013 holiday card line!

You probably recognize my Dala horse. It's already available as a print and card set. 

I just decided to add the "God Jul" (Merry Christmas in Swedish) for the holidays.

My other two 2013 designs were inspired by classic Christmas carols.
This card borrows a line from "The Christmas Song", written in 1944 and made famous by Nat King Cole.

The Christmas Song card is the only card with a printed message on the inside.
The others are blank for your own personal holiday message. 

My "Let it Snow" card is available in both a printed version and as an instant download. This digital download allows you to print as many cards as you like, and send them to everyone on your holiday list!

Be sure to scoop up all of these new designs in my etsy shop, or at one of my holiday shows. Also, feel free to contact me if you’re interested in wholesale. Ta-Ta!
