Hello, Friends!
I’m so excited that I’m about to bust my buttons! You know how sometimes in life you really want something, so you decide to go for it even though you’re pretty sure that you won’t get it but you go for it anyway because you can’t stand the thought of living with wondering what might have happened if you HAD gone for it and then you GET it and you keep pinching yourself to make sure that you are not dreaming the whole thing? Yeah, that. I’m living the dream right now and I just have to share it with all of you because you have each encouraged, supported and traveled this journey with me and I’m just so darn thankful for each one of you.
Effective immediately, I am Contributing Designer in the Vintage Market for Canvas Corp! ‘Scuze me while I stand up and do my happy dance for a minute. Cue happy music here….
OK, I’m back! Canvas Corp Brands encompasses 3 of my favorite companies in the home decor/crafting industry:
Canvas Home Basics focuses on Creative, functional products for the craft, scrapbooking, mixed media, home decor, DIY, hardware and gift markets. read more
7 Gypsies (be still my heart!) is a hip, vintage product line for the craft and scrapbooking markets. read more
Tattered Angels offers mistable paint and accessories for the craft and scrapbooking market. read more
And take a look at the cover of their new Farmhouse Christmas Catalog
This is an amazing opportunity for me to work with brands that I love and share new ideas, techniques and designs with you, my dear readers. We have so much FUN to look forward to!
The “official” announcement won’t be made until early December, when we share our first project and are introduced on the Canvas Corp blog. I can’t wait to show you what I’m working on.
Thanks again for taking this journey with me! You are a vital part of what I do, and I appreciate each one of you more than I can say. Sharing with you brings me great joy!
Cheerio,
kathy
