I'm excited to share that a book I designed was mentioned on The Today Show this morning! Click here to read all about Is This Really Your Book? . I'm busy working on some new cover designs for the authors as they head into their 2nd edition. This is the second time my work has been connected with The Today Show. I feel so lucky!

I'm a little behind with my Valentine's Day preparations but this weekend I did manage to get into my basement studio for some serious block printing. Well, not that I was feeling serious but I was seriously motivated! I'll share my new cards throughout the week but in the mean time, here are some of my favorite "heart" cards just in time for Valentine's Day. They're in my Etsy shop right now and if you order by February 3rd, you'll have plenty of time to share the love!
