Art, Explore, & Experience... in Italy!
I'm thrilled to share that I'm going to be doing my first travel workshop in Orvieto, Italy! The course will be from September 21-27, 2025 and includes daily art time as well as lots of fun, good food, and exploration. I'm also including a class kit for each attendee and there are only 12 spots available, so if you're interested, don't wait too long! You can get more details and photos of our Travel Lapbook class project on the Adventures in Italy website.
Capturing the Simple Pleasures of Nature
I'm thrilled to be sharing Capturing the Simple Pleasures of Nature in the Autumn 2024 issue of Somerset Studio magazine.
In this issue, I've shared some mini file folder art journals, each with a different nature them including birds, flowers, butterflies, and the forest. There are several photos from the insides of these interactive journals showcased in the article. It also has some of my own nature poetry as well as different quotes about nature that I just love. This issue should be subscriber mailboxes now and is available in stores from August 1 through October 31, 2024 or available for digital download in the Somerset Studio shop. |
Just in... Direct from Italy!I've continued to add to my range of Italian papers from Rossi with 14 new designs, straight from the Italian warehouse! These include flowers, more peacocks, traditional scrolls in new colors, as well as some gorgeous new heritage prints - Giannini 1856 featuring lightly letterpressed bird patterns in beige and red.

New Rubber Stamps!
Believe it or not, it's already been 6 months since my last stamp release! But I'm back again with three new hand-drawn stamp sets that are now available, designed by me for PaperArtsy. Check out the official release post on the PaperArtsy blog, which includes a project tutorial.
This release ties back a bit more to some of my earlier stamps with some medallions, flourishes, and other design motifs (including a few birds, of course!) Inspirations for these stamps come from Italy, Persian floral motifs, and vintage embroidery patterns.
They're available in the shop and from your favorite PaperArtsy stockists.
