Pretty gift wrap designs for Creative Weekends #4...

  

 

       

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Creative Weekends! 

As you know, I design fabric and wallpaper for fun. Well, thanks to Spoonflower, some of my designs are now also available in gift wrap. The wrapping paper is a tad on the expensive side, but it is a large roll and the quality is excellent ~ not to mention it is an original, unique design, not a mass-market creation. 

Right now my wrapping paper designs feature a lot of pretty stripes and varying-sized polka dots, along with a few cute prints. I am working on a number of new designs, including a couple of holiday papers, that will be available soon. 

In addition to the boxed simulations you see, here’s an overview of the patterns available:

Below is my Pink Forest design printed as wrapping paper. The photo at the beginning of this post is of my Butterfly Garden gift wrap.

What do you think? I was going for bright and cheerful gift wrap, and I think I’ve got that. I’m looking forward to seeing how my new patterns turn out.
Wishing all of you a lovely weekend...

Beauty in bloom...

My hydrangea bush is putting out the most beautiful blooms ~ so many, in fact, that I was able to clip enough for a couple of vases while still leaving enough blooms for a burst of color in the yard. I made up this lovely bunch for the living room coffee table and couldn’t resist photographing it to share. I love the pop of blue seasonal beauty it adds to the room.

Don’t forget to come back Friday and link up to Creative Weekends. Wishing all of you a lovely week...

Creativity from a friend...

Hello everyone, and welcome to Creative Weekends. This week I thought I would share a little creativity from a friend. One of my dearest friends just made this collage for me, putting together a grouping of things I love. Isn’t it beautiful? I just adore it. It’s hanging in my hallway, right outside the bedroom, where I can see it every day.
I hope all of you have lots of wonderfully creative ideas to share.
Wishing all of you a lovely weekend...

Pink designs for Creative Weekends #2...

Hello, everyone. I hope all of you have had an enjoyably creative week and have a few interesting things to share here at Creative Weekends.

I have been busy once again this week on some fabric and wallpaper designs ~ two new pink ones, in fact. These two are somewhat special in that they are new favorites of mine. The two you see here are Pink Starburst Mod and Pink Petals. I really, really love the soft pinks I used ~ the white and gray set them off so well. I can’t wait to see how how both the fabrics and wallpapers turn out. The “mod” design is, of course, my take on a mod print ~ soft and pretty, light and airy. Many mod prints are bright and darker, but this is The Pink Home after all.

These are renderings of Pink Petals as wallpaper. It is a fairly large-scale design, with each flower measuring about 6 inches square. At the bottom is a wallpaper rendering of Pink Starburst Mod (also large-scale) ~ it looks fun, don’t you think?

I want to thank everyone who joined Creative Weekends at the initial link-up last week. I hope we’ll have a few participate and make the rounds this week, too.
