DIY Wedding Print

For my friend's bridal shower, I decided to make a personalized print with both her and her fiancé's name and their wedding date. I also took a quote from one of my favorite books, "A Walk to Remember" by Nicholas Sparks. This was so easy to create, I can't wait to make another one! 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Decide on the size of frame you are going to use. In this case, I chose an 8˝x 8˝ frame. 

2. Design to your liking, while keeping the design within the frame size you desire.

3. Print on heavier card stock, just because it looks nicer. You can print your design at FedEx Kinko's, or even Office Depot.

4. Cut out the print. I found it easier to use a rotary cutter than scissors.

5. Frame it, and you're done! 

Stop. Go. Quilt. Sew!

The first book I ever illustrated for C&T Publishing is out and ready for purchase, and I'm so excited! It was such a great experience being an "illustrator" for the first time, especially on a fun book like this.

C&T.

For someone who calls herself “creative”, C&T Publishing is definitely a great place to come to everyday and work. I am constantly inspired to create, whether it be my very own quilt (though, it’s still in pieces), a sock bunny (from Brenna Maloney’s Sockology), or even a dinky Christmas ornament I sewed by hand. Either way, all of these new interests are byproducts of my artistic workplace and fellow employees.

Here's a blog post I wrote about my first sewing experience while working for C&T Publishing. To read the entire blog post, click here!
