Hats off to the grads!

Derek and I are in our 30s and both the oldest cousin on each side of the family. We remember our younger cousins being in born, in diapers and growing up. So sometimes it's hard to believe we still have family members graduating high school and college! Randomly, this year we have three cousins who are moving onto the next school level and/or the real world! To celebrate this big occassion I made the above cards for each graduate, using my favorite punch gallery technique. Congrats Kelly, Carolyn and Helen!

Meet The Artist: Liz Urso

My first internship and fulltime job was at a plush and novelty toy manufacturer as a graphic designer. This is where I met today's guest poster. She was a quiet, smiley designer who could add a cuddly personality to any item, whether it was breathing or an inanimate object!  I recently reconnected with Liz as we are both bridesmaids in Vanessa's upcoming wedding and she finally caved agreed to be a guest poster at Spotofteadesigns.com.  Read on and meet Liz Urso: Hi there! First off, I just wanted to say thank you to Tara for giving me an opportunity to be a guest on her blog! I am so excited to be doing this and I will try not  to get too carried away. I wouldn't say I am a Jack-of-all-trades, but I do have a handle on few different things. I am currently a graphic designer/ illustrator in the scrapbooking industry as my day job. I basically make a lot of cute patterns and stickers. as evident of the summertime collection above. The rest of the time you can find me doodling away in my sketchbook, drawing, card crafting and making toys.  I love to collect patterned papers, buttons, ribbon, shiny glass bits, small trinkets, whatever I can find that would be good for altered art crafts and card crafting.

Year of Date Nights: June

In April, 7 bridesmaids and I helped to host a bridal shower for Allie, my top guest poster and also my MOH! (I was hers too!). I saw this concept on a Pinterest pin from this blog and instead of pooling our money to get her a large pot set, we decided to give her and her husband the gift of time! We bought them 12 gifts, which we labeled “A Year of Date Nights”. Here’s the opening letter Allie was allowed to open at the shower, which explained her gift: "In just a few weeks, you will say “I Do.” Then a fun year of marriage is in store for you. Since finding alone time can be the hard part, We 8 bridesmaids gave you a head start. We call this gift “A year of fun dates” For you to enjoy with your chosen mate. On the first of each month, you can open the seal And that month’s date, you will reveal. Enclosed you’ll find alone time with Tim. What date of the month? That’s up to you and him. You may find outdoor adventures, activities or shopping, Dinners, destinations and even bar hopping! Promise us, right now and right here! You’ll keep the suspense throughout the whole year. Don’t peak at the date until the month arrives So you can continue to keep it a surprise. Make sure that you bring a camera with ... Continue Reading...
