Easter Morn

April 4, 2010

This afternoon we listened to our Prophet and many others talk about the blessings that Christ gave to us by giving his life and taking it again, and that includes the blessing of Resurrection.  Easter is a wonderful time to contemplate the Savior’s last days on this earth as a mortal and the beautiful fact that He lives.

He has burst his three day's prison, Let the whole wide earth rejoice

Happy and Blessed Easter.

Easter is always a fun time, spring flowers are blooming, we have the biggest home meet of the year on this weekend and we are reminded of the redeeming power of the Lord.  Pretty sweet holiday.  I decided to decorate some eggs to share.  Happy Easter!

Easter Eggs

Wish me good luck, with the home field advantage maybe I will throw far!

Recently I’ve found some inspiration in my own photographs. Here is a semi-tracing of a photograph I took on my college campus. Plus it is in my school’s colors. Go Tribe.

Pig(gy Bank) Love

I drew one of Jacob’s piggy banks in Inkscape the other day. I really like the shape in general, but incorporating the “bank” part is not trivial.

We had a friend over and she brought over her new boyfriend whom we hadn’t yet met. I suppose our anecdotes emphasized our differences because he asked what did we have in common. I replied quickly with “money” to get a laugh. But Jacob and I do share a the trait of valuing the freedom that comes with financial independence and provident living. But I suppose that inspired my newest creation:  Piggy Bank Love.

Diamonds are a really fun shape. They may not be the easiest pattern to piece a quilt out of, but the visual uniqueness and strength is unparalleled. I’ve been toying around with the clone and tiled clone tools in Inkscape, there is just so much one can do! The outer layer of diamonds in this design was made using the reflection, 120 degree rotation, dense clone of two different colored diamonds.

I thought a fun graphic would be a depiction of my favorite kitchen accessory, my Hobart n50. My sister also just got one and loves hers. We sure are turning into crazy homemakers, she just made a batch of pretzels in hers and last night I whipped up a batch of cookies for my husband and a few guests. This awesome machine deserves its own stationary. I mean really who wouldn’t want to receive a nice note with a Hobart Hug on the front?

Circles are so versitle. I love pushing them around a piece and letting them find a home themselves. I think this card front is fun plus it could look great in so many colors.

How much fun is this alternating pattern? If I had to condense my feelings to one word it would have to be Ritzy.

I’m really on a note-card roll right now. Check out this fun design, patterns are very easy to do in Inkscape: make a shape and select it then press Alt+I, and bam you have a new pattern. I have not quite figured out how to save a pattern after you close the program but they are so easy to make it doesn’t even seem necessary. This is a simple star shape on top of a circle.

My Own Notecards

I’m so excited about the idea of making my own stationary, like cards, letters, and envelopes. Wouldn’t you just love to get a note on a card which had this as a front, or mail out notes with your own personalized stationary? I’ve been scouring etsy for fun stationary, but then I realized I should just be designing my own!
