I've been dreaming of writing the super-cheesy-headline above for months. More than a year ago I first started working on some items for Target. It's been my little secret. But now they are finally in stores and I am so excited!
These three journals were produced by Innovative Designs using my collaged artwork. The general look and feel is based off of my
Paris collage sheets, but for these we added a couple of other iconic images to round out the line--The Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Arc de Triomphe. While the designs look fairly simple, there's actually about 40+ Photoshop layers in each postcard. In the Pisa journal, for example, I used scans from four different vintage handwriting samples to create just one line.
Needless to say, I'm quite thrilled with how they turned out. I think the maps on the back may be my favorite part. The overall quality turned out great, too. Thanks all for letting me gush a bit.

In a distant prechildren past I used to be a stationery designer and it is incredibly exciting when your designs hit the shelf, far more exciting than when they turn up in the warehouse. Even better is when the reorders and royalties start rolling in. I love the range - congratulations. I hope it is incredibly successful for you.
THAT is super cool! I am so happy for you. CONGRAT!!
wow! I am so happy for you! I used to work at Gibson greeting cards. It was always surreal to see my line of cards in the stores!
Congratulations!! Now if only there was a Target near me.....*sigh*
A huge congratulations to you!I'm heading over to my store today and will check it out!
That is really cool...congratulations!!!
I am totally blown away by all of the very, very kind comments. You are all amazing. Thank you so much. It means the world to me.
It's fun to hear from some of you who have had similar experiences, too, working in the publishing or greeting card world. Such a talented group!
And I should warn any of you looking for the journals in your local stores that they're not everywhere yet. In Portland I think they're in about half the Targets so far, with the rest coming soon. They should be there for about a year but it may take a week or two for them to be everywhere.
Thanks again all. You've made my day!
Congrats! That's so AWESOME!
Gush away!! that's fabulous!
Wow!! Awesome!! You should gush, absolutely! Congratulations!!! Can't wait to go find them at my local Target.
SO happy for you! That is wonderful!!! CONGRATS!!!

Sounds like a good excuse for me to go to Target - as if I needed one. That is one of my favorite places to shop. Congratulations!
Congratulations! You have worked very hard and now it's paying off.
