School-room Art.

Since our house(and yes, it's ours - she's accepted the offer) has a perfect room to use for school my wheels have been turning in how to make it THE most amazing school room ever.  I decided I needed some art to go on the walls and I wanted it to be in the colors of a vintage globe and to be themed appropriately for a school room.  I love the song, "Swinging on a Star" that Bing Crosby made famous all about how going to school will open up all sorts of good things.  Anyhow, I took the three main lines from the chorus and made three matching prints.

Aren't they adorable?  I'm going to print them 16x20 size and hang them up together.  I can't wait.  And if you too gotta have them, you can mosey on over to my etsy store and get yourself some - 8x10 size or 16x20.

p.s.  I also got this mid-century lounger at D.I. a couple days ago.  It will be perfect for reading books and just plain looking cute in the school room.  AND it matches my prints...

A Modern Giveaway!

A few weeks ago I launched my newest idea - Modern Verses and I have to tell you that it has been a blast.  I love the words of the scriptures and I love making them into something visual.  And I love my little etsy shop.  I have always dreamed of having a store of my own and it makes me feel like I sort of do.  Anyhow, since that time I've added a few designs that I thought I'd share some of my favorites with you! 

I love these.  They are all so happy and bright.  They make me dream of summer. 

I also did a trio with children's hymns:

I really have so much fun designing new prints.  I lay in bed at night dreaming of new ones all the time.  I'm getting a little obsessed!  I also love packaging them up for shipping - they look so pretty!  And did you know you can get them in 16 x 20 size now?  Those are BEAUTIFUL!  And since I've got things launched I decided it was time to have a giveaway! 

Go to my store and pick your favorite print(the one you'd like to win).  Then share it on facebook or your blog - you receive an entry for each time you share.  You'll also receive another entry for being a fan of Modern Verses on facebook!  Just make sure you link back to my store on your blog and then come and comment and let me know which ones you did!  On May 5th I will announce a winner! 

Announcing: Modern Verses

I am a visual person who LOVES printed words.  If you've ever come over to my house you've seen the pieces of paper taped all over my walls with my favorite quotes or scriptures on them.  So, for years I have been looking for art for my walls that combines my beliefs and my style.  I can usually find one or the other but never together.  So I have finally decided to stop dragging my feet and design my own.  Thus we have Modern Verses.   Each piece has is a verse of scripture except for Families are Forever and Search and Ponder - those are just nice sayings.

Each design is professionally printed on 8x10 linen stock with professional pigment inks.  And they look oh so cute together in groupings!   Here are the designs:
