Kickstarter Project Launch - 2014 Calendars

EXCITING NEWS!!!!!

I applied to start a Kickstarter Project a few days ago, and it has been approved and ready for backing. 

Now don't panic, if you are unfamiliar with Kickstarter, have a look here and take a peek at what it is all about. Alternatively, have a read below:

So in a nutshell...

I NEED YOUR HELP!!!

The basic principle of kickstarter, is that you pledge an amount to back me in my project. 

Lets say for example you wanted to offer £10 of your own money, to help me produce a range of 2014 Calendars....

What do you get out of it?? 

Well, that depends, as there are various lovely rewards for helping me (see my project page for more details).

A sample of the A4 wall calendar - Pledge £7 to receive one of these.

Here is an example: 
 For £10, you would be rewarded with a Desktop Calendar download, perfect for using as a background, or printing out and hanging on your wall, and an A3 Family Planner, which will be printed and delivered to your door
 by September 2013. 

So you win too.

A2 double-sided Wall Planner - Pledge £5 to receive one of these

The idea is,  you help me, and you shall be rewarded. 

Now, here is the catch... I have a specific amount in mind to produce these calendars.... £750 to be exact, and if I don't raise all the funds by the deadline (1st August, Midnight), then I don't receive ANY of the money, and my dreams of releasing a range of 2014 calendars will go POOF!

So no pressure to help me.....

On the plus side, if you do kindly pledge an amount

 (even £1 is awesome btw), you don't pay a thing, until after the deadline, when (if successful) you will receive an invoice with 2 week to pay up. Then I get paid... and BAM!!!

We have some fabulous Calendars.

So What do you say, Fancy helping a girl out???

PLEDGE NOW

and if you can't help... Please do spread the word.

#365Pattern Project WEEK ONE!

Hello All, 

Things have slowed down here finally, so I have had the opportunity to start the #365 Project which was originally started here by The CaravanShoppe.

The idea is basic, create one pattern a day for a year. 

A whole 365 days. 

I wanted to take part a while back, I know some people started Jan 1st and are well on their way with the project and I have seen some fantastic work, especially from Sam Osborne and Julie Hamilton of Artistically Afflicted. 

So here I share day 1-7 with you all. And I must say, it has been nice to design so freely with the only barrier being my colour palette (I have restricted it). 

Isn't is amazing how one set of 7 colours can come across so different in each design below? 

Enjoy the view. 

P.S You can view each day's design in the #365Pattern Tab above.
