3 BIG STUF DESIGN COMPS

So about a couple month or so ago Jamie echlier from Big Stuf Camps shot me an email asking for three different design comps for their High School Camps on the East Coast this Summer. This camp has a lot of great stuff going on. I wish I could have been a part of it when I was in High School. It looks like the place to be for youth groups. Daytona Beach Fl. is July 20th-24th with Guest speakers Andy Stanley, Reggie Joiner, Perry noble, Steve furtick, Lanny donoho, Jared herd, and Fee band. And Panama City is happening june through july with guest speakers Lanny Donoho, Jared Herd, Reggie Joiner, and Stuart Hall. check out their promo videos by clicking the image below. Make sure you play the “2009 time” video. Its awesome. I want to go. haha. so We’ll see what they think of the designs. They might pick another designer all together But thats fine, I had a really great time pushing through these concepts. ANY FAVORITES?

MY STUDIO IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

soo.. now that i am not in the office. I DONT HAVE A PLACE TO WORK. I had my laptop on my lap the whole day working on project and design concepts and Just because i was on the couch i felt SUPER lazy. But i was getting a ton done. A lot of people would say SWEET.. but when i seriously need a place to work. So this is my studio in progress… the very beginning progress of course. But its just perfect size. I have a computer, check, posters and art, check, easles, check, and a room, check. My next order of business is a DESK. haha. anyone giving one away? haha jk. here are a few photos I took messing around the other day. Please dont mind the mess or the grain in the photos.

here are some options that i like from ikea.

JENNYVI DIZON COUTURE

SORRY BOYS. This is a pretty girly post this time. So, I found my dress!!! kind of. I looked and looked to find a dress. I was looking for something different than a strapless white white dress with a bunch of beads on it. That look is very lovely of course… but not me. And that type of dress really tends to be the trend right now and it’s hard to find anything else.

I got a recommendation for a lady and then she passed me on to Jennyvi designs. I was impressed by her website and intrigued to email her. So it did, and we ended up meeting for coffee and talking through some details. She is so sweet, easy to talk to, approachable, and really truly cares for the bride and what she would like for the day. The price is perfect, and I felt like she really understood the direction I wanted to go. This girl is only in her late twenties and has been sewing and designing since she was ONLY 5 years old. How crazy is that?!?! Her father was a tailor and taught her when she was very young. I got my measurements taken the other day and i am so excited to see it. i will let you know how things go down. Here are a few photos…some from her catalog.

She even drew up some designs on the spot of what i was thinking and describing to her.

Its so fun, that as an artist, I get the opportunity to custom design my own wedding dress. There are so many endless possibilities.

A FRESH START to an exciting journey

A sad but really exciting day.

i got some goodbye glasses

cornerstone has been a growing//strengthening place

I am excited and very sad to say that this past thursday was my last day employed at cornerstone christian fellowship. Turning in my keys, signing paperwork, cleaning out my desk, and saying goodbye brought tears to my eyes. Closing a chapter in my life is always so hard for me. I am a very sedimental person, and I hold on to memories. I hold on to days, chapters, situations, and settings in my life. I will greatly miss working next to the most amazing people, and doing life together as we stare into the glare of the computer screen. In general I am an intervert But somthing about being with and next to people makes my heart very happy and very hard to leave.

pretty flowers

The great news is that I am taking a risk and spreading my wings. God has been so faithful and at this time I am ready to continue to pursue my dreams. I have a lot of changes coming up that i am excited to share with you. I have a few large projects coming up, and also a revamp on some of my online sites. such as my blog. Woohoo. I am so stoked to have a new blog template and to continue to grow this community online. I hope you will stay with me through these changes. I really appreciate everyone who reads and comments on my blog. A huge thank you to all of you who are so encouraging. This new blog has lots of room to grow. I will eventually have a shop, ad space, and some new features on my official website. so many exciting things coming up.
