Cake Demo

I'll be demonstrating cake decorating techniques at the Michael's in Smithfield, RI this Sat. 7/11 from 1pm to 3pm. I'll be making the adorable pirates from the front of the new Wilton 2010 yearbook.

Come stop by and say hello!!!

Father's Day

As a greeting card designer, every time I give someone a card they ask, "Did you make it?" They always seem disappointed if I didn't so I have to make sure I have a card that I designed on hand for every occasion.

This is a card I illustrated and engineered for Up With Paper and the card I gave my Dad for Father's Day.

The fridge door opens to reveal "man" food.

Strawberries Galore

Is anyone else's garden overflowing with strawberries? I've eaten so many that I can not eat one more and there are about 300 still in my garden!!

Here is a photo of the amazing fruit harvested from my garden!!

My local paper, the Woonsocket Call, picked up on my story about winning a Louie Award for the card I licensed to the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art NY). It's a really nice article!

Read all about it!!

American Greetings & Target

American Greetings just released a set of three pop-up/pull-tab gift bags that I illustrated and engineered for them. They are in Targets all over the country!

I'm really happy with how they turned out. The quality of the bag is gorgeous. And Target is selling them for only $3.00 a bag. Talk about value!!

Here are two of the three designs. The third is a robot.

Thanks for the post!

Kate Harper has a fun blog called, "Greeting Card Designer."

She recently posted a little interview with me about my experience winning a Louie Award.
