Can you believe it's 2016? I can't! The past year flew, and I feel like I'm scrambling to get new goals and ideas down on paper before this one is too far along! Resolutions have never really been my thing, but in the last few years I have been more diligent about goal making and implementing. My love of lists comes in handy this time of year...other than when I have toooo many lists.<br />
<br />
I'm currently reading "Make it Happen" by Lara Casey, which has been challenging me to really think about my goals and purpose in my life. I'm only halfway, so I'm hopeful for some direction by the end, but either way, it has been helpful to really reflect on the past year and where my life seems to be heading. It's funny looking at goal lists from a couple of years ago and seeing what I thought I'd be doing or already accomplish by this time. Yep, not realistic for the most part! Or priorities have changed. A small example was the goal to have replaced aging vehicles by now, and then they keep on running, and you begin to think, heck, I'm going to drive this until the wheels fall off!<br />
<br />
For the past few years I've made long term and short term goals based on categories like family, finances, career, artistic, faith, pleasure, education, physical, and I'm newly adding a prayer category. It sounds like a lot, but it helps for me to categorize like this. Most overlap in different ways anyhow. I have certain career goals and financial goals for saving that play into family goals like owning a home in the near future. An artistic goal is to just make and create more freely and working on my pen and ink drawing skills in particular. This artichoke is one of my favorite sketches from the fall. So that's what I'm working on so far in this new year, and I look forward to sharing new work and works in progress soon! Happy New Year!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356811683025305580.post-15479882384183959562015-11-19T09:37:00.002-05:002015-11-19T09:37:44.982-05:00Christmas Gift IdeasLooking for a unique, personalized gift for the special people in your life this Christmas? I have two brand new stationery designs now available at Minted! The first is called "<a href="http://www.minted.com/product/foil-stamped-stationery/MIN-062-FPS/marbled-border" target="_blank">Marbled Border</a>," and it has real gold foil! Not only are three different colors available, but you can even choose between gold, silver and, dare I say, rose gold...ooooh...The marbling in the design was created by using nail polish and water!<br />
<br />
The second new stationery design features my own watercolor splashes and textures and is aptly called "<a href="http://www.minted.com/product/personalized-stationery/MIN-TA1-PST/watercolor-mark" target="_blank">Watercolor Mark</a>." This design is great for budding artists or for any color-loving, art-admiring person. Personalized stationery is handy for letters, thank you notes or for leave behinds. Letter writing is just plain classy. To check out these designs and more, head to my Minted <a href="http://www.minted.com/store/keenpeachy" target="_blank">shop</a>.<br />

I'm excited to announce that I have three new holiday designs available in minted's new collection. All are in the corporate holiday card category, which is new for me! The first is <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/business-holiday-cards/MIN-E02-HCP/joy-beyond-measure" target="_blank">Joy Beyond Measure</a>: A minimal and modern design with a bold, gold straight edge. This card features faux gold foil and would be perfect for art, design, or architecture studios. The second design is <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/business-holiday-cards/MIN-DLX-HCP/joy-encompassed" target="_blank">Joy Encompassed</a>: A tongue-in-cheek graphic and illustrative design featuring a tree-inspired compass. Can you see the "joy beyond measure" theme I ran with? The final editor's pick is a bold and modern design called <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/business-holiday-cards/MIN-DL5-HCP/chic-chevron" target="_blank">Chic Chevron</a>. This design was created for the vibrant business that wants to stand out from the crowd, while being on trend. Each design has additional colorways, envelope options and customizable address labels.

What?! Another special award! My Valentine art print (though I could argue that this is good anytime of the year) "Gold Standard" was recently picked for the "Out of the (Candy) Box" award for the most creative and innovative take on a Valentine's art print. How much more exciting is it when someone else just gets your crazy sense of humor? Not too shabby for an idea I rushed to design before the end of the challenge! You can see all of the winners <a href="http://www.minted.com/julep/2015/07/08/quickfire-valentines-day-art-challenge-special-prize-winners/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=quickfire-valentines-day-art-challenge-special-prize-winners" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

I've been busy working on holiday designs the past month or so, but I'm holiday'd out, so I wanted to share two bright, new bits available in my Minted shop! Remember the Pinata Gender Reveal baby shower <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/baby-shower-invitations/MIN-S0F-BSH/pinata-gender-reveal?dcC=O&org=photo" target="_blank">invitation</a> I designed? Well, now it's available as a children's birthday party invitation! It comes in three fun colors, including a traditional pinata colorway. You can check it out <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/childrens-birthday-party-invitations/MIN-CX4-CBP/pinata" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
The second new item is a custom sticker label. Granted, this will be great when school is actually back in, but what a great way to label and personalize everything your kiddo owns! This also comes in more colors that can be found <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/custom-name-labels/MIN-0E7-CNL/pen-pal?dcC=AZ&org=title" target="_blank">here</a>. Matching stationery is available <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/childrens-stationery/MIN-LAO-KST/pen-pal?org=title" target="_blank">too</a>!<br />

I'm proud of this piece because of how truly experimental it was for me! I used some watercolor paintings and created layers and transparencies to build the textures and colors (the originals look nothing like this). It's exciting to have the editor's at Minted appreciate the piece too and see it's potential for the home. It's named Flexion for all of the facets and angles that make the piece so energetic. You can find Flexion <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/wall-art-prints/MIN-207-GNA/flexion" target="_blank">here</a>, and it comes in the sizes shown below, and there are multiple framing options!<br />

The design is called "Buchanan" and is a vintage-inspired invitation with detailed linework and classical type. I actually was inspired by a simple pair of robin's egg blue, oval earrings. Many colors are available (see below), and it may be customized for your wedding as well. Matching envelopes, direction cards, RSVP cards and even thank you cards are available too.

I have several new baby shower invitation designs that are now up for voting in Minted's latest design challenge. A range of styles were explored, though I wish I had even more time to see more ideas through! 1. <a href="http://www.minted.com/design-rating/314638" target="_blank">Simple Garden</a>. This design is a sweet and simple floral that's perfect for an outdoor shower or would go well with any pretty theme. 2. <a href="http://www.minted.com/design-rating/313470" target="_blank">Poppy Wreath</a>. I recently purchased a new watercolor set with premium colors (a far reach from the Prang box I've been using since childhood!) I painted this minimal poppy wreath and designed a pretty round invitation that would be great for a vintage, rustic or garden-themed party. 3. <a href="http://www.minted.com/design-rating/315154" target="_blank">Make it Rain</a>. I don't know why I always feel the need to design a funny and not-so-serious baby shower invitation, but I couldn't help myself! 4. <a href="http://www.minted.com/design-rating/314624" target="_blank">Modern Gallery</a>. This design is bold in color and clean in design. With a tag-shaped diecut, I see this invitation as a perfect way to celebrate the modern mom-to-be. 5. <a href="http://www.minted.com/design-rating/313474" target="_blank">Mod Spotted</a>. Confetti dots and ombré colors. What more could you want? Voting is now open for all of these invitations and remains open until March 9.<br />

Minted has new Valentine wall art, including prints with real gold foil, just like my new print called "Gold Standard!" (Top lefthand corner in the image below.) The great thing about love-inspired prints is that they can be gifted and used year round!

Today I want to share a blog feature I recently found, featuring my design <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/valentines-day-postcards/MIN-ZJ9-VPC/hanging-be-mine?org=title" target="_blank">"Hanging Be Mine"</a> with a collection of other Minted Valentine cards. Brooklyn Bride hand selected several cards this Valentine's Day, and even recommend them as alternative save the dates. What a great idea, especially for winter engagements! You can check out the post <a href="http://bklynbride.com/36851/wedding-invitations-and-more/valentines-cards-minted/" target="_blank">here</a>. This design was added to Minted's collection last winter, however this year it's also available as a classroom <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/classroom-valentine-cards/MIN-ZF9-CVD/hanging-be-mine" target="_blank">card</a> (the mini ones kids hand out) and has coordinating <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/custom-stickers/MIN-ZF9-CST/hanging-be-mine?dcC=AN&org=photo" target="_blank">stickers</a>!<br />

Remember in school, every Valentine's Day trying to find that perfect little classroom card to handout? I have two, new Valentine designs to share today! Both are fun, and sweet (without being all lovey dovey...perfect for all of those shy kids!) The first is "Puppy Love," featuring a cute, modern dog. The second design is called "Light up the Room," and is a simple sentiment for kids and teachers alike! Backer patterns or photos can be chosen as well. And new this season are custom stickers that coordinate! These stickers are great for treat bags, favors and more!<br />

It's called <a href="http://www.minted.com/product/save-the-date-cards/MIN-BGC-STD/dolce" target="_blank">"Dolce,"</a> (Italian for sweet), and it's a sweet and soft save the date with subtle ombré color rising from the bottom. Pretty script and simple type grace a fantastic photo! You can see this design and more of my work at Minted right <a href="http://www.minted.com/store/keenpeachy" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

This Christmas I went DIY with my gifts and made soy candles scented with lime and grapefruit (and a little bit of vanilla) essential oils. I designed bold and brushy labels and tin wraps as well. These were fun to make, and I learned some things for the next time! <br /><br />

I'm slowly getting back to the swing of things after an especially busy Christmas season. I've been anxiously waiting for my new kid's stationery designs to come out, and they're finally here! The first is called "<a href="http://www.minted.com/product/childrens-stationery/MIN-LA7-KST/experimental?org=photo" target="_blank">Experimental</a>," and it's perfect for the kid who loves science and experiments. (Hopefully the green clouds are only fictional!) The second design is called "<a href="http://www.minted.com/product/childrens-stationery/MIN-LAO-KST/pen-pal" target="_blank">Pen Pal</a>." It is a simple concept with a pencil and paper but with retro flair. This design looked so much different when I first started, but with my husband's help and creative eye, he helped me come up with this design. Thanks, dear! Look forward to more new designs coming soon. Have a great start to 2015!<br />

This is among 1,197 entries! I'm happy to announce that a second classroom card design, <a href="http://www.minted.com/design-rating/254269" target="_blank">"Light up the Room"</a> (a design for all of the kiddos who don't want lovey dovey Valentines) has been selected as an Editor's Pick in the challenge, as well. Both classroom Valentine designs should be available in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!<br />

I'm a big fan of many designers and artists of all kinds, and one of my favorite web design businesses is called <a href="http://aeolidia.com/" target="_blank">Aeolidia</a> based out of Seattle. I don't know how I initially came across their work, but they are one of those businesses full of talent that if I ever make it big (right!) I want them to design my website. They also do branding, logo design, copywriting, etc. I follow their blog and get a newsletter and always find so much helpful info as a new business owner. That said, Aeolidia recently had some giveaways, and I was lucky to be able to get a quick consult for Keen Peachy with the founder Arianne Foulks. The consult was helpful in reconfirming things I already had an inkling about as well as encouraging me in some areas I had been second guessing (i.e., Keen Peachy as a business name!) Arianne featured the consult on the blog yesterday, and I thought I'd share! You can read about it <a href="http://aeolidia.com/finding-your-niche/#comment-1585" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

I love the colors and vintage flair of the "Holiday Florals" card by Alethea and Ruth. Plus it reminds me of one of my grandma's many Christmas decor color schemes. I'm excited to see this color combo make it's way back this season!<br />
