Hi everyone! With Josh giving so much info on the family, that has now become our family site! I am redirecting this blog to my new blog: http://www.carinagardner.com. Please check me out there! There is a new focus on the new blog including giving 2Peas scrappers the opportunity to see previews of coming digital products, releases from card nirvana, and a new focus on DESIGN! I'm so excited about it! I will be doing interviews with designers, some little design education tid bits, show things I am obsessed with...just generally designy:). Please be sure and link this new blog to your site!

Heather Bailey and Madsen Bikes

Well, Jen is in town for business and she's over tonight (yes, it is 12:25 in the morning) and, of course, we start talking about design (what else? we're a couple of obsessed neurotics!). She introduced me to a fabric designer's blog that I MUST tell you about because it is so FABULOUS! Her name is Heather Bailey and it is such a great blog! She has a real way with color:



here's her blog: http://www.heatherbailey.typepad.com.

My second obsession that i keep meaning to post about is Madsen Bikes. I MUST have one of these bikes in the spring (I am totally going to get one come march). The buckets in the back can hold kids or groceries. I love them! Take a look!

BELLA BELLA at My Minds Eye!

It's my very first printed paper line and when I saw it I let out a scream because I am so excited!!!! So here it is! Go check out my new paper line that will be premiering at CHA this January and in stores soon after! I am so excited I can barely sit still!!!!!Bella Bella! Go check it out because you'll be able to click on the individual papers and see them much bigger.

Siri's Random Comment of the Day

I don't really have time to post and hopefully Josh will blog about Siri's b-day party yesterday....but I just had to post Siri's random comment of the day:

Siri (very slowly and deliberately): "You know that EvilLyn is one of the minions on Snake Mountain."

Can you tell she has a stay-at-home-dad?

Siri's Princess Party

My life is crazy right now and I have to design several things over the weekend for My Minds Eye....of course, Siri's birthday is on Wednesday, and I couldn't figure out when I was going to get around to designing an invite. So I decided to grab Jen's card from Card Nirvana. I mean, I designed the darn site to be easy, right? I just didn't realize it was going to be THAT easy. I had every intention and redesigning some of the elements. but I just opened up the pdf and insert and words and printed it at home (I just needed 5 so I printed 3 pages on some heavy white paper). Holy cow, I had this done in 2 minutes! I know it sounds like propaganda, because afterall, it is MY site, but I was so happy with getting the invitation done so quick that I had to post (because it's the first time I've used one of the cards on the site for my personal use).

Anyway, it's great in a tight spot! (Siri's b-day is on Wednesday and we have to drop off cards today).
