Surtex Sneak Peak – Fleucy Lucy Collection

 Of all my surface pattern design collections that will be on display at Surtex 2012, I think Fleucy Lucy is my favorite. I got my inspiration from girly lace trim and delicate eyelet fabric. My mom is an excellent seamstress and when I was growing up, in any spare time she had, she was either sewing or helping me and my sisters make something creative. I loved to look through our piles of scraps of beautiful fabric, lace and trim and imagine what lovely things we could make. 

The color scheme, however, was not inspired by my mom. In fact, in her day, as she says, you would never think of pairing orange with pink. I am not a huge fan of orange myself, but I am beginning to really like it as an accent color to go along with different shades of pink and yellow.

Fleucy Lucy is what my husband used to call one of our nieces, even though her name is not Lucy. I’m not sure if fleucy is even a word, but for some reason it just seemed like the perfect name for this surface pattern design collection. 

Here are some mock-ups to show how these surface pattern designs might look on some different products like infant bedding, bath and kitchen accessories, and gift bags and partyware.

What kind of products do you envisions these patterns on? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just leave me a comment below. 

Surtex 2012 Sneak Peak – Birthday Balloon Doodle Collection

Here is a sneak peak of one of my collections that will debut at Surtex 2012 in less than 2 weeks. 
(Surtex is the premiere trade show for selling and licensing original art and surface pattern designs.) 

The Birthday Balloon Doodle collection combines handwriting and doodles with subway art and brightly-colored stripes and dots. The girly version includes pink, while the non-gender specific version has red instead of pink. Both versions contain the same remaining colors of orange, turquoise, bright blue, lime green and yellow.

Below are some mockups to show how the Birthday Balloon Doodle patterns will look on gift bags and party ware. Would you use products in these patterns for a birthday party? If so, who would the party be for?

How will you celebrate Easter?

I believe that life is worth celebrating…
because God is good, all the time
and He is always worthy of praise. 

I especially love celebrating life at Easter and spreading the JOY of Christ
because without the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus,
we would not have eternal life with God, nor would we have peace, joy and love. 

How will you celebrate Easter and the resurrection or our Lord Jesus Christ this year?

How will you spread the JOY of Christ this Easter?

An Easter Brunch or Easter Dinner after celebrating with your church?

An Easter Egg Hunt for the kids?

If you will need to send an invitation for your Easter celebration,

all contain Scriptures and are now
available for sale at Little Card Company.
