SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: All About the Heart

February is here, which means that Valentine's Day is just around the corner.  I remember when I was in elementary school and we used to get the packages of those little Valentine's Day cards that were about the size of a Post-It Note.  There were enough in the package to give one to all of the kids in your class, if you wanted to anyway.  If you were lucky, you might even get some of those cute little candy hearts with the sweet sayings printed on them.  Who didn't love those?

Speaking of love, my collection of surface designs titled "LOVE" is all about celebrating the feeling of love that we have for ourselves, for others and for life in general, which is why I have used a variety of fonts and sizes in the design to represent the various ways in which we love.  The products available in the collection include 5" x 7" note cards that are blank inside, which are great for sending a personalized note to someone special.  The cards can be purchased singly or in a set of four.

There's also a custom tote bag that I crafted from a sophisticated linen-cotton canvas fabric on which my design was digitally printed.  The roomy tote is lined with a tightly woven, durable duck cloth in lipstick red, and has two interior slip pockets.  The bag is not only stylish, but functional enough to use everyday.

Have a Happy Valentine's Day!

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: UNITY T-Shirt and Canvas Bag

I designed the UNITY series after traveling to Senegal and The Gambia in West Africa last Fall.  Seeing some of the living conditions in those countries sparked my desire to create a line that would be tied to giving back, here at home.  The series consists of three designs, the first of which is shown on this UNITY T-Shirt and Canvas Bag.  With the sale of each of these products, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Capital Area Food Bank or SOME (So Others Might Eat).  Both organizations have a mission to provide assistance to the hungry, poor and homeless of the Washington, DC metropolitan area.  The products can be purchased in the SKCreations Online Boutique.

Happy Valentine's Day!

It's Valentine's Day or, as some say, National Love Day.  I personally think it was designed to find a way to get consumers to pony up money for gifts during the slow retail month of February.  We've probably recovered from the holiday season spending and the January clearance sales.  Spring is more than a month away and, honestly, it's too cold for people to think about buying warm weather gear right now, especially if you're on the East Coast (brrrr).  So, what to do in February?  Buy flowers, chocolate, jewelry and whatever else is deemed appropriate to celebrate the day.  If it brings a smile to a dear one's face, go for it.  Don't make it all about February 14th however.  Show your love and appreciation for others throughout the year.  I believe it can make the world a better place.

I have created an original surface design collection titled "LOVE".  The various font styles I used in the design depict the many ways in which we can feel and express love, not only for others but for ourselves.  My collection includes fabric, from which I have crafted a roomy tote bag.  It also includes note cards which are blank inside so you can write a personal note.  These products are available for purchase.  For inquiries, please email me at info@skcreations.com.
