new-years

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope that 2017 brings lots of success, happiness, and good times with the people we love. This year was pretty momentous for me. Not only did my husband and I celebrate 8 years of being together, we also met the little boy of our dreams. Being a mother to our son has been rewarding in so many ways. He has shown me what true love really is. I’m not sure if he will ever know how much I adore him, but I promise to show him every single day. Having a family of my own means the world to me and I feel very grateful to call them mine.

Professionally, 2016 has been pretty good as well. This has been another great year working with my regular clients and I have enjoyed all the new projects I can now add to my portfolio. I am thankful, yet again, to Minted for giving me lots of opportunities to grow as an artist. Not only am I proud to be a Minted designer, but they continue to challenge and inspire me in so many ways. I was also happy to redesign my website and update my branding, which is something I have been wanting to do for awhile. Overall, I just feel very lucky to do what I love to do. And being able to work from home and be with our son is awesome.

I look forward to so much more in 2017 and can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thank you for joining me on this journey! It’s nice to be connected to so many creative and talented people, as well as others who find interest in what I do. I hope you enjoyed the last day of the year and best wishes for all things great in 2017!

Saying Good-bye to 2015

So here we are, a day before 2016 begins. Another year has flew by, bringing all sorts of challenges, adventures, and opportunities my way, both in my personal life and for Gray Star Design. Despite all the challenges I faced along my pregnancy journey, I was blessed to learn this past September that three times is a charm. Tomorrow I will be 20 weeks and halfway there to meeting our future son. My husband and I couldn’t be more happier!

With another year working with some of the best clients and adding a new steady client to my portfolio, it has been a busy one. I redesigned my branding and gave the biz a new fresh look, had six pieces chosen to be sold on Minted (including 1 on Domino), been featured a few times by Minted, joined Etsy Wholesale, and introduced a new line of stationery designs to my collection. And of course I have enjoyed working with tons of new people on custom orders and sharing my items with lots of new buyers. I look forward to another successful year as a business owner and designer and couldn’t ask for a more rewarding, fun way to make a living.

I wish you all a Happy New Year and hope that 2015 was good to you. Enjoy the last day of the year and see you in 2016!

I know spring has officially sprung, but for the Minted designers and all who enters their challenges, the holidays come early. The winter challenges have begun and the first one up to bat is the New Years photo card challenge.

I have to say its a bit hard to even think about the colder months since we have finally escaped them, but I try to find inspiration through the photo collection we have to choose from. I have been a bit busy but found some time to get in a few submissions. You can view them all below. Voting is now open until May 4th so if you get a chance, feel free to rate the designs. And don’t forget to check out all the other amazing entries. There were over 1500!!
