HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I hope your holiday season was a joyous one spent with family and friends.  Mr. Squareview and I enjoyed several days off with family this week and are looking forward to a little trip away to celebrate New Years Eve.

2012 has been an amazing year and wonderful things continue to happen for my little studio.  I can't wait to share some recent good news with you along with more design adventure to come in 2013.

Until then, Happy Holidays!

MUSIC MONDAY vol CHRISTMAS EVE

Merry Christmas Eve!  For the last Christmas themed Music Monday I thought I'd go all out and share several of my favorites.   Enjoy!

FREEBIE FRIDAY - HOLIDAY GIFT TAGS

Happy Friday!

Week three is here and it is time for more printable gift tags!  This week I have some fun tags whose colors were inspired by some gorgeous sea glass I ran across while in Puerto Rico.

Have a wonderful weekend!

FEATURED: CHRISTMAS TAGS ON DESIGN CRUSH

I'm super excited that my printable gift tags were featured on Design Crush today!  My little guys have some wonderful company - check out the post here.

DIY PAPER SNOWFLAKE

Making a DIY snowflake is easy, describing how to make it is hard!  I'm admitting defeat and choosing to defer to the master, Lia Griffth of Elli.  In addition to her gorgeous work in paper fashion and her fabulous Stationery Shop, she writes a great blog full of inspirational paper items.

Check out the blog called Ellinee Journal here.

Lia vastly improved the template I was originally using and put together a fantastic step by step to boot.  Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel for this edition of Do It Yourself December, I'll point you over to Lia's site instead.  You can find both the DIY step by step and the Snowflake Template here.  

I had a blast putting together my snowflakes and I hope you do too!  Happy Wednesday!

MINTIE FRESH: VALENTINE'S DAY

The year is coming to a close and that means it's the season of love and good cheer.  I can't think of a better way to celebrate than to take a tiny break from DIY December and enter a design challenge that is all about the love!

Voting has just opened for Minted's XOXO Valentine's Day Challenge and I've entered a few for consideration.  This challenge included gift tags, classroom valentines and family photo greetings.  Check out the entries below.

As always, if you like what you see, please vote for me!
