a little bit D.C., a little bit design, a little bit me

I am continuing my exploration of digital painting. My latest creation is an illustration of red baby sneakers. They are gender neutral and are perfect for your next baby shower. I used a scalloped circle punch, but you can use a different shape, as long as the size is similar. The printable gift tags may [...]

We are getting near the end of the school year and teacher appreciation week is approaching. These tags will help you wrap presents for anyone who has given you a 'hand' recently. Use them for teachers, clients, staff, volunteers, customers, and more.
