Buy Stationery = Help Sandy Victims
Through the Minted community, I have been connected with the most amazing group of designers. They are encouraging, helpful, and all share the same passion for paper and design. Several of the designers were effected by Hurricane Sandy, and one in particular decided to pull all of us together to help.
The etsy store, "Designers Care" will give 100% of the proceeds raised to the American Red Cross. The designs will be stamped onto calling cards or greeting cards and shipped to you. Most of the designs are meant to be uplifting and inspire.
I'm so happy that I could be a part of this effort. My art card, "Lean on Me" can be purchased along with several other amazing designs. Our goal is to raise $2,000 for the American Red Cross, it would be awesome if we could do more.
Below is my design, and here is the link for you to go make a purchase and a difference: http://DesignersCare.etsy.com

Inspiration
These last few weeks I have been working tirelessly on Goldenberry Paper's first launch of stationery notecards. A friend that I met through Junior League was kind enough to let me test out the market by selling my stationery in her shop at our upcoming Hollydays Art & Gift Market. This opportunity has been perfect for setting a deadline to launch my first product line.
One thing that I struggled with was what would the overall look and feel of this stationery collection look like? I decided to turn to Pinterest to collect photos of my favorite things. Once I placed these images into an inspiration board, it was easy to see what colors and things inspire me and make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. A lot of the designs for the upcoming line have been tweaked and tweaked again and again, and I am so excited for the finished products.
For now, take a sneak peak into what inspired me for this first stationery line:
