the design frenzy continues...

Well my design frenzy lasted all month (and it's still going!) It's true. What have I been designing you may ask? Well our Summer Stamp Release that is scheduled for July 25th, for starters! Not to mention a brand new product we are releasing on July 15th. I am so excited about this product, I can't wait to show it off! This product was co-designed by buddies Meridith and Joslyn...the trio of us make a good team. I can't wait to play with this product. You will feel the same!

Another thing I've been designing is paper paper paper....in the digital form! I have to say, once I jumped on the digital bandwagon I became quickly addicted! I love being able to print the paper I want at anytime, and with the quality of the printers available these days, they look amazing. I print my papers on my Cannon MP600...a printer I bought for printing scrapbooking photos. It works great!

I've been wanting to do a beach/summer-themed digital paper kit for quite some time. Thus Surf and Sand was born! Here are a few "sheets" from this paper pack...

This paper is called Surf and Sand Stripe and has all kinds of fun little beachy images. Another cool thing about this paper is that it matches a lot of the images in our Shore Thoughts and By the Sea stamp sets...so they can coordinate! I love that.



I called this paper Catch a Wave. I am always on the lookout for good "ocean" paper. So naturally I designed one myself! ;)



This one is called Faded Beach Blanket. Aaaah. It makes me want to snuggle up on a beach blanket on the warm sand and take a nap listening to the sound of the ocean waves. Unfortunately I live in Seattle and our ocean waves here are more like a drip rather than a soothing crash. ha ha. I'll take what I can get though.



No paper set is complete without a good polka. This one is called Beach Bag Polka.



...and a matching Beach Bag Stripe.



This paper is called Fishy Frolic! Here fishy fishy fishy....



Last but not least, I wanted a sandy, textury, sea-shell paper. This paper is called Sunwashed Seashells. It's a little different from the rest because of the texture. I love how it prints!



Joslyn just designed her first-ever digital paper pack...Grungy Dots. It's really cool. It prints even better than it looks on screen. We will be coming out with more matching digital paper with our Summer Stamp Release!

I'll be back tomorrow (the 4th of July!) with a card because it will be my turn to host the DT Blog Hop we are having for our Anniversary Celebration! See you tomorrow...
