Here is a little bit of inspiration from some items on Minted that you can purchase right now. I took the style and feel of the Insta Film holiday card and included artwork that evokes that same modern and warm feel. A palette like this can make any room feel more open and airy, as well as fresh and earthy. They are whimsy and fun, yet make a space relaxing and calm. Enjoy!

I am super excited and so grateful that two of my photographs, Brackley Beach and The Sea Awaits, have been chosen as editors picks in the recent Minted + Domino Challenge. Not only does that mean they will be for sale on Minted but Domino’s website as well! And the prize money is a nice bonus too. I can’t say enough how great it feels to be a part of such a great community of designers on Minted. Congratulations to all the designers who won for their beautiful work. I wish you all many more wins and of course crossing fingers for the ones who didn’t have luck this time.
