Thinking of You Week

The GCA's Thinking of You Week has been a great excuse to catch up with folk and get creative with the kids.

Thinking of You Week is a special week that harnesses the emotional power of greeting cards to create a wave of love, caring and happiness around the world. Sending handwritten cards generates positive feelings and wellbeing. Science has shown that receiving a handwritten card creates a lovely warm positive boost - Greeting Card Association

We had a great deal of fun creating these lovelies. Our rather large pile of post is all sent and off on its way.

Pastures New

Well it's been a lovely summer of fun and a welcome break for me. As autumn begins it's time to start preparing for a return to work. After the birth of my lovely baby number two I have accepted the redundancy offered whilst on my maternity leave from Belly Button Designs.

It's been a wonderful ten years. I have loved heading up the art studio and creating those award winning products, especially the Platinum and Paloma ranges. It has been a great experience and I have enjoyed meeting lots of people who are as mad about design, stationery and greetings as I am!

It's exciting to tell you that I'll be launching freelance shortly. I'm very much looking forward to creating all new and unique top selling designs. See you soon!
