Good Life Fabric - Young Women Value Tree Pillow + Fabric Giveaway

I am so excited to show you my latest fabric line, GOOD LIFE.  The GOOD LIFE fabric line came from a special collaboration with my fellow GOOD WORKS GIRL, Allison Dayton.  I would love for you to read more about the GOOD WORKS GIRLS as well as the VALUE TREE STORY.

We have created some great tutorials with the GOOD LIFE fabric that are simple, yet with purpose.  I am happy to be featuring the first tutorial Value Tree Pillow. 

I love the detail that the swirl fabric gives to the tree stump and branches.

The hand cut look of the circles out of the GOOD VALUES print is so sweet and simple.

This first tutorial was made by Jessica Taylor.  Thank you Jessica!  The GOOD LIFE panel comes with ready made labels.  I love them all!

Download the tuturial here

Just for stopping by and letting us know (comment here) what you think of the GOOD LIFE line, you will be entered to win a GOOD LIFE rolie polie or 5" stackers.  All enteries must be submitted by July 20th, 2012 at 10am MST.

{inter} National Scrapbook Day 2012 - Blog Hop Freebie

This weekend is {inter} National Scrapbook Day, and to help you with your digital stash the Design House Digital designers are giving away this amazing collaboration kit, called Retrospect:

You can get this kit for free!  We have made it easier than getting it download by download...just collect the coupon code letters as you hop from blog to blog starting at the beginning.

Now for a quick tip:

MAKING A PATTERN BRUSH IN ILLUSTRATOR

Just for stopping by, I would like to share one of my most used tools in Illustrator...making dotted and scalloped shapes!  I am a "self-taught-project-by-project-Illustrator user", so when Carina Gardner shared this quick tip, I decided I had to pay it forward!  I did some crazy time consuming work to get a dotted or scalloped shape for many years, I can't let you do it too! 

 

First make a circle and keep it selected.

 

Make a new brush by selecting the "new brush" button, and selecting "new pattern brush". Click OK.

 

The pattern brush options will come up. Change your scale to what you would like.  I set this brush to scale - 25%, spacing - 100%. Click ok.

 

Your brush will appear in the brush pallette. Draw a circle without a fill.

 

With the new circle selected, click on the new circle brush in the brush palette.

(You can change the spacing and size by double-clicking it in the brush palette, and even see a

preview if the preview box is checked.)

 

I also made a half circle and did the same steps as before to make a scallop brush.

 

I wanted my scallops closer together, so my spacing came down to 15%.

 

Make another non-filled circle and keep it selected.

 

Select your half circle brush for a scallop edge.

 

 I made another circle and changed the size and spacing for the look I was going for.

 

This is how my decorative circle turned out.  I hope this helps you in your creativity.  The possibilities are pretty endless with this little tip!  I know it makes my work so much more fun!

 

 Now for something to WIN!:

STARS AND STRIPES FABRIC GIVEAWAY

Good Works Bird necklace

The last creative thing I did I am still working on. I am making new curtains for my sister's bedroom as a surprise. She was so kind recently to take me in after my 23-year marriage fell apart and I could never repay her for what she is doing for me.
