The great outdoors and festival time!







Inspired by the great British outdoors and summer music festivals (having briefly been a recent participant), I couldn't resist working on some designs that reflected some much needed items at festivals...not to say all music events are in need of wellies and a brolly, the sun does make an appearance on occasion! These aren't quite finished just yet, as they still need some tweaks here and there, but thought you may like to have a peek anyway! The design with the underpants on I thought would work well for a belated birthday..."Oh PANTS!" (the copy inside the card reads) "...I'm sorry I forgot your Birthday!"

New Cinnamon Toast logo, but which one?

I've been working on the new 'Cinnamon Toast' logo and have come up with a few ideas. They each have a slight difference. Would love to know what you think works best...

Design A - with spots and no stitching

Design B - with stars and white stitching

Design C - with stars and green stitching

Design D - with spots and white stitching

Design E - with hearts and white stitching

What do you think? (they of course can be mixed up) x

Baby Shower...



Seen more as an American tradition, 'baby showers' are now becoming increasingly popular in the UK & Ireland. A tradition held for the new mum to be 'showered' with gifts for their first born from friends and family. In the US it's not unheard of to have a gift registry (much in the same way as a wedding registry for gifts). It just helps new parents start out, as it can be costly. So with that in mind I thought I would design some invites...

Entries for Tigerprint Competition: Christmas Typography..

Inspired by a vintage country cottage style Christmas, I wanted to work this style into the card design, as I was using a mixture of fonts I thought it would add to the quirkiness of the card and step away from the traditional rich colours used at Christmas time. I have placed emphasis on the 12 days of Christmas and used the words to create the shape of a Christmas tree in two of the entries below. I think these would make lovely cards, and also felt that wrapping paper using the background would be nice too, so I used a mixture of the background with the fonts to fill in the stars (above)...what do you think? I am also currently working on a logo for Cinnamon Toast - the colours used in these designs might just give you a clue to the colours of 'Cinnamon Toast'! Enjoy x
