It's just another Mock-up Monday

I decided to play a bit with mock-ups today.  I combined some new patterns with some of my favs and found some pretty sweet photographs to work with.  Here is the result!  Which is your favorite?  Happy Monday!

Introducing Estrella...featuring Pantone color of 2018 Ultra Violet

Pantone Color of 2018 Ultra Violet

With a few additional patterns my "mini" collection is now complete.  I picked the name "Estrella" which means "star".  Before starting this collection I was not a huge fan of purple colors.  This collection forced me to research various color palettes that included the color ultra violet.  I really LOVE how this collection turned out and I am truly loving this color palette and the way the ultra violet draws me in.  I also decided to play with some mock-ups to see what the collection could look like in real life.  I would totally buy these items!!  I believe I am an ultra violet convert.  Who would have guessed?!  LOL!  Here's to many more surprises in 2018!!

These would be the sweetest summer dresses!! 

Seriously LOVING the way this collection looks together...AND I really love that Ultra Violet couch!

Swoon worthy mocked up on fabric!

What could be better than fresh picked daisies and a bowl full of fresh blueberries?

With Christmas behind us and temps in the negative digits, I have decided to set my sights on summer inspired prints and illustrations.  I am feeling the warmth already!  Two of my all time favorite things that remind me of summer are daisies and blueberries...and oh how pretty they are together!  Wouldn't these patterns look lovely on tea towels and sun dresses?!  And, who doesn't need a summer backpack to take on a hike or to the beach?  I would love this backpack!  Bring on the warm weather....PLEASE!!

In the Geo Moment

Just a little fun with lines.  Still feeling a bit geometric.  Probably has something to do with the thought of more SNOW....having trouble visualizing flowers when the threat of more SNOW is looming.  UGH!  I would like some warm weather now...pretty pretty PLEASE!!!  :)
