oh so SWEET….. just in time…

happy december my friends.  i hope this note finds you well. i’ve been busy, busy here in the studio and i have lots to share in the upcoming days and weeks. i’m so excited! 

i wanted to offer a few new printables before the holidays.  and i came up with these oh so sweet country christmas cards for you.  check them out! 

card front

i LOVE square cards.  i mean LOVE them.  so i thought i would deSign a few printable square cards for me and for you.  the background is a tea stained paper, accented with rusty embellishments and sweet messages for the holidays.  there are 2 deSigns to chose from and they are available NOW in my ETSY shop.

upon order you will receive a high quality pdf, to download, and print.  the card measures 5” square after folding. 

this final image shows the “believe” card in a square frame that i picked up from Michaels with my 40% off coupon.  wow, i just love this image framed.

okay, so if you wanna check these out… please pop on over to my etsy shop to place an order.  

see you soon with more exciting offerings…  xxo, kim

p.s. 5.5” square envelopes work perfect for these cards.  you can find them online quite easily.  i also found some at my local copy center. :) 

day 30…and that’s a wrap!

happy thanksgiving to my american friends… i hope you enjoyed a most joy filled day… full of love, hope and gratitude. 

here is my final “daily” deSign.  it’s a photo of the prairie grass growing right out behind our house.  it’s  mixed with textures….and i think it qualifies as a daily deSign. 

i didn’t quite manage to pull off a daily painting.  and i really slacked off about day 20. :) however, i’m happy i committed to the challenge, and did the best i could.  i just recently received a large request from my publisher, so if all goes as planned i will be creating 2 paintings a day for the next week or 2.  i am not complaining… not at all! 

i’ve also been cooking up something fun and exciting.  i hope to share it here soon.  stay tune… 

time for bed, i think…  thanks for stopping by… xxo, kim

day 29 has almost come and gone.

my dear blogging friends,

it’s friday, already!  and it’s november 20th.  my oh my the time is slipping away so quickly.  i wish this one armed clock could stop the time for just a little while… slow things down.  ya know?  but i suppose that only happens in the movies.  sigh….

i was sure that i would have 2 designs for you today.  but i’m afraid, i only have one.  on the up side… my house is looking pretty darn sparkly.  so it was worth the time away from the studio.  nothing like a clean house to make a girl smile!  perhaps tomorrow will allow me a little more time to create. 

anyhow, here is day 29.  i wish i was half as cool as this girl.  lately i’ve been living in sweats and hoodies.  i haven’t worn make up more than once a week for months. yikes… (not that i wear much on the best of days… haha)

i was trying to think of name for this cool cat… and izzy came to mind.  whatchya think? 

thanks for stopping by…have a great weekend!  xxo, kim

oh dear, it’s almost tomorrow…. already?

i spent far too much time in the sun today.  but gosh it was so beautiful again! the sun was shining, the air was fresh and clean… 

 

and sophie was having so much fun.  it turns out she loves the camera.  :) isn’t she soo gosh darn cute? 

 

i did work on another my girl sketch, but i ran out of time.  so i hope to post it and maybe one more tomorrow. 

please come on back …  thanks for stopping by… xxo, kim

p.s. i added a few coffee prints to my etsy shop. :)

27 and counting and a little of this and that

hello all my blogging friends.  i hope that you had a most fabulous day!  mine seemed to zip by so darn quickly. 

it was so gorgeous again today.  i went to the trail and i was absolutely sweaty by the time i was done.  and it’s november 17th.  it’s crazy!  crazy awesome.  :)

couple of things…

i have posted a few offerings in my etsy shop.  i’d love for you to pop by for a peek.  i have a couple of my daily deSigns for sale along with some of my photo prints.  I will be adding more later this week. 

also, i am posting my photography images on flickr.  i have been adding images almost daily. i’d love for you to stop by and while you are there, click around and check out the talent.  it’s incredible!  honestly!
