Happy Birthday to Me!!

New Year's Baby checking in!



Celebrating with an older card from my Dirty Girl days!! The image I used is by illustrator Maurie Manning – it’s called Penelope’s Party Wagon. I colored the image with Touch Twin Markers. The sentiment is from Skipping Stones Design.

I love that my birthday is on the first day of the year - a clean slate, and the promise of many new adventures and opportunities. After looking back all that happened in 2012, I'm excited to see what's ahead!

I know there will be more stamp releases...

I've been working behind the scenes with a new challenge team...

...and I have some freelance mixed media work coming my way, new products to work with, life to explore... I'll share more about what life is like around me too, and try to remember that designing is not my 'day job'!

I'm 38 today and 38 has always been my very favorite number - that makes me even more excited to live it out. I'm grateful for those of you that will be along for the ride!
Thanks for stopping by!
