Sincerely Yours, Kimberly - where to find me now

 Hello friends! It has been quite a long time! My move towards becoming a surface pattern designer continues and I have so much exciting news to pass along! For all the details, to join my new email newsletter, and to stay connected, please visit:

Sincerely Yours Kimberly

My new website has just launched and is an exciting (and a bit scary) new phase. I hope to see many of you over there. For those that have continued to follow me on social media, your encouragement, support, purchases, and messages always mean so very much! You are truly THE BEST!

Very, very sincerely yours,

Sincerely Yours Kimberly, Farmers Market Flowers collection, and changes

Changes. Always changes. I have said that many times through the years, but this one, well, it’s the biggest one yet. As of last week, I am no longer working in the paper crafting industry, due to lay offs. For over 12 years I have been working for manufacturers, designing projects, taking photos, filming video tutorials, and more. I was published over 500 times nationally and internationally in print. 8 book and magazine covers. Became a contributing editor to Paper Crafts Magazine. Then I moved into designing the stamps, papers, and dies that I had been using for years. It has been my job, but my joy, my passion, sometimes my heartache. It has been where I have met my dearest friends. What a privilege it has all been!

Over the past few months, I have fully immersed myself in a new direction. Before I had only dabbled, but now, I know this is my next path. My next adventure. Surface pattern design is my next dream. Surface pattern design is the artwork you see on everything. From sheets to curtains. From dresses to gift wrap. It surrounds us. And it is a new challenge that has helped me find my spark of excitement and bring my creative energy back.

I have not shared much of my journey here, because honestly, I was afraid. Afraid to lose followers. That’s ridiculous. This is who I am. This is authentically me. And I am ok with me and where I am headed. My sweet friends and community on my instagram account have been so loving and supporting. They shared in my secret. In my dream. And their encouragement is why I am making the move to publicly share. 

This is scary. So scary. Yet thrilling. Putting myself out there is not comfortable for me. But I am putting myself out there for my goals. I hope you will continue to follow along. I promise to share. To continue to post beautiful images. Thank you my friends.

To follow along this journey, I encourage you to follow me Sincerely Yours Kimberly on Instagram. You will see my work, how I work, learn more about my process, and be the first to know when I launch new products and designs.

What you are seeing in this post is the very first collection I have ever designed called,

 Farmers Market Flowers. After taking an intense, online course on surface pattern design over the last couple of months, I am tackling this new dream, this new goal, this new brand, head on! It completely amazes me that I could create artwork like this! The entire process has been so very exciting and thrilling! 

My ultimate goal is to have my artwork be licensed. Either by a fabric company, a paper company, or anyone who just loves what I have created.

To begin with, my work will be available for purchase in the Spoonflower shop. Spoonflower is an incredible shop full of fabrics designed by people from all over the world. If you can dream it up, it is probably there! 

Spoonflower allows you to purchase fabric in 8x8 swatches, fat quarters, or yardage. You can also choose which fabric type you want as well. There are over 20 different types of fabrics!

Creating these mock-up images allows you and me to see how the designs look on fabric. Best part is, this past week, I got all my real fabric samples and now they are ALL available for purchase!

When designing a collection, there are usually 2 color ways, or 2 different color palettes. Because I fell in love with a couple of the different results, I ended up with quite a few designs! This second cooler color way is called Farmers Market Flowers-Anemone. 

This color way is called Farmers Market Flowers-Midday.

Again, you can get a good look at the fabrics. If you are not interested in purchasing fabrics, but love the designs. Spoonflower has a sister site called The Roostery. The Roostery has all of my designs put onto home decor items. Bedding, table wear, pillows, and more!

Thank you for all your support. So many of you have ordered already, and I mean it when I say that it means the world to me! Because it DOES! Each time I receive an order, it is a validation of my dreams. It is saying that you are spending your hard-earned dollars on something that I created from my heart and my mind. That is not lost on me. I know what a privilege each order is!

I hope that you will consider following me on Sincerely Yours Kimberly on Instagram. I share so much there. The stories and inspiration behind my designs. It is a piece of my life and my heart. <3 p="">

Sincerely Yours,

Vintage Lilacs and Shiplap - New Collection available at Society6

Happy spring my friends! Finally! The weather here has been so cold and rainy, but we have finally broken through and are enjoying sunshine, breezes, and flowers! My lilacs bloomed yesterday, so I picked a huge bouquet of them and brought them in the house for a little photo shoot. Because, that's what I love to do! After placing the lilacs on both a white shiplap background and a dark barn wood background, I was in love with the images! And you all were too, based on all the love I got on social media! So I decided to edit the photos up a bit and place them on new products in my Society6 shop!

I want you to be able to bring the reminder of spring and the sweet, fragrant scent of lilacs to your home!

The second look. I love the white shiplap background and then I added a watercolor effect. So dreamy! I am certain it is the romantic in me. Its probably from watching Anne of Green Gables waaaay to many times!

Back to the barn wood and a deeper watercolor effect. Again, so dreamy!

All three of these images are available on different products in my shop. Keep scrolling and take a look at just a few of the items! Oh, and right now, everything is 25% off!

Armful of Joy - new design launch!

Armful of Joy Canvas Tote Bag

I am so very excited to announce that I have launched a new design in my Society6 shop, 

Sincerely Yours, Kimberly! "Armful of Joy" is inspired by a bouquet of flowers I picked up at a farmer's market. These dahlias are full of fun and happiness!

I added quite a few new products in the home decor department, so be sure and click over and check them all out! I thought I would share my most popular items for sales with the new design!

First up, the canvas tote bag. The bag comes in 3 different sizes. Its great to able to choose what will work best for you!

Armful of Joy Carry- All Pouch

These pouches are SO popular! With the thick fabric and heavy-duty zipper, these pouches can store quite a bit. They are available in 3 different sizes, or if you cannot choose, a pack of all 3!

iPhone case

Another super popular chose is the iPhone case. This case is available for a variety of models. My sister-in-law ordered the Rainbows version and loves it! Especially in these days of needing to disinfect everything, she is happy for a new case that she can wipe down easily!

Armful of Joy Notebook

The wonderful notebooks from Society6 have been given an update! You can now choose lined or unlined notebooks or even a pack of 3! I love the feel of these notebooks. Soft cover, but sturdy. The pages feel really nice to write upon!

Armful of Joy Throw Pillow

HUGE update to the throw pillows! You can now choose INDOOR OR OUTDOOR, along with 4 different sizes. As I was thinking about getting new cushions for our deck this summer...these may need to come live at our house!

The cover is machine washable and the inside pillow form is full! Very high quality!

Armful of Joy Floor Pillow

This pillow is new for my shop, but I LOVE it! The floor pillow comes in either round or square, and in your choice of two different sizes. How fun would this be in a screen porch or sun room? I am thinking my cat will be taking possession of this one! (as long as I put it in the sunshine...)

Armful of Joy Wrapping Paper

And, because I adore all things paper, wrapping paper is available in Armful Of Joy. This wrapping paper comes in 5 sheets. It is incredibly thick and luxurious feeling! 

There are SO many more products with Armful of Joy on it in my shop! Stop over by clicking the words above, and add a bright spot of joy to your house, or maybe as a gift! They ship worldwide!

P.S. Many of you have reached out in support and have asked how you can help me out without making a purchase. Do you know how much that means to me?!?!

Easy, quick, but means a ton to me! Thank you! <3 p="">

Peony From My Garden - new Society6 products

YAY!

25% Off Everything
Start: Saturday, 2/1/20 at 12:00AM PT
End: Monday, 2/10/20 at 11:59PM PT
Details: 25% off everything (excludes digital gift cards.)

"Peony From My Garden" is my latest product launch in my Society6 shop. 

This peony was hand-drawn and water colored by me last summer. The inspiration for this flower came from a peony I cut from my own garden. This past summer we planted 4 new varieties in our yard. I cannot wait to see them bloom this year! Peonies have long been my favorite flower. My grandparents grew the most beautiful peonies. They truly had green thumbs. I spent many happy hours with them in their gardens.

These canvas bags come in 3 different sizes. You can choose one size, or you can buy all three.

Another tote bag. I am thinking this one would be perfect for the early farmer's markets. Oh boy, can you tell I am dreaming of spring and summer?!

There are several different prints available. Framed, unframed, canvas, and also mini sizes.

This one is a new product, it is a skin for your iPad or your latop! I am thinking that I need this for sure! Wouldn't it look cute at Starbucks or Panera sitting there? :D

You can view the entire collection of products here: Peony From My Garden

Thank you for all your orders and support of my new venture! Every order I see fills my heart with so.much.gratitude. I know how truly lucky I am to be surrounded by such generous and thoughtful friends and readers! Huge hugs to each of you!

 Sincerely Yours,
