![]() I like the idea of starting fresh. I usually set goals for the new year, even though I rarely follow through. Its fun to dream about where a new year will take you. I've been freelancing for just about a year now, and its been awesome to see the unplanned direction that my work has taken. I'm setting new goals for this year (just because its fun), and some of those include more illustration, more stationery, and mastering that calligraphy pen. Cheers to fresh starts. Here's a desktop wallpaper to salute the occasion!

The Indie I Do Wedding Show is approaching fast! Are you going to join us on January 25? We're pretty excited to talk to couples about wedding stationery, design and paper goods! We have two passes to the show to give away – yep, you won't even have to pay. All we ask is that you show us a little social media love. We'll be randomly choosing a winner on Friday, January 17. To enter, please:

Good luck! Get more details about the show at www.indieido.com We got to work with some pretty amazing people in 2013. One of those includes Christie Esau, co-founder of thisvillage – an organization that works with one village at a time to alleviate poverty. You can read more about them here, and please do!
This past late November, thisvillage ran a campaign to raise money to build wells for the small village of Bandanpally in Andhra Pradesh, India. The wells would finally give these people access to clean water. I can't imagine living without clean water, can you? We were privileged to create a campaign graphic for the Start Some Good campaign, which was printed on buttons and distributed to the funders. We also prepared two "thank-you" typography pieces for cards that will go out to thank the funders of the campaign. The people of Bandanpally now will have two new wells to provide them with clean water. thisvillage, you are awesome :) A few days late but... Happy New Year! After a nice get away visiting family in Alberta and a cozy mountain holiday in Nelson I feel refreshed and ready for a big year. There's really something about unplugging from the internet world for a few days. Good for the soul.
Thanks to everyone for an awesome 2013. It marked the beginning of Kayla English Creative and the beginning of life in British Columbia. I am so looking forward to another year of designing, making and creating for you all! |
