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. 

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,
be sure to check out my new Christian Easter Invitation designs that
all contain Scriptures and are now
available for sale at Little Card Company. 

Product Review of Neapolitan Valentines Printable Party Package

Joyful Heart Design’s brand new product, the

Neapolitan Valentine’s Day Printable Party Decorations

received a favorable review by Freebies for Friends on their blog today. Please go read it now!

This is our first printable package, so I am excited to find out what people think about it, and see it from a customer’s point of view.

I names this package “Neapolitan” because it’s designs are created in Chocolate, White and shades of Pink, the same colors as Neapolitan Ice Cream. Yummy!

I thought this would be a great way to help people have a “deliciously stylish” Valentine’s Day Party, even if on a budget.

Joyful Heart Design To Donate Proceeds of New Stationery Product to Pink Initiative in Support of Breast Cancer Awareness

Lubbock, Texas – October 6, 2009
Invitation and stationery company Joyful Heart Design has designed a new product to benefit Pink Initiative in response to Pink Initiative’s Be the Change $10,000 Challenge for October and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The product is a set of note cards displaying a silver princess crown printed on white linen paper and embellished with a pink jewel. The set comes wrapped with pink ribbon and is being sold by Joyful Heart Design on the company’s website, www.JoyfulHeartDesign.com/pinkinitiative or by calling 806-787-1450.

Pink Initiative is a community of wedding industry professionals passionate about funding awareness, outreach, education and research for breast cancer. “During our first twelve months, Pink Initiative’s board of directors and our growing group of vendor sponsors have taken our message to heart proudly displaying our logo on websites and blogs, spreading our message on Twitter, and kindly giving more than $7,000 thus far,” reported Emilie Sommer, founder of Pink Initiative and professional photographer with emilie inc.

Joyful Heart Design will also donate 10% of proceeds from all invitation and stationery items containing the color pink which are purchased during the month of October to Pink Initiative.

“I am honored to be a Pink Initiative sponsor and hope to inspire others with these products and encourage people to celebrate life now,” said JoDitt Williams, founder of Joyful Heart Design.
