USPS Rate Increase

Hey guys, just a friendly reminder – stamp prices will increase by a penny on January 22.

The 2012 stamp program is a tad uneven if you ask me. But of course I am over the moon for these gorgeous Love stamps! Designed by Louise Fili and lettered by Jessica Hische. Super fun!

You can see the rest of the offerings for 2012 right here.

Clever Ideas: Book Tags for Kids

My friend Maggie, who is fabulous, contacted me a few months ago to design some holiday items. (Maggie’s holiday cards were featured in my Best of 2011 post. Her family is one of the most adorable in the history of ever.)

Maggie has a big family and lots of friends with kiddos, so she had the brilliant idea of creating book tags for each child. I think this is such a fun idea! Books are treasures and should be treated as such. This is a great way to instill a sense of pride of ownership in a child’s library, don’t you think?

I was given a list names along with a few of their favorite things. You can see the end result below!

 

 

Calendars for Charity

I’ve received a few emails about the 2012 Calendar featured in my Best of 2011 post. I designed these for a personal project, but I do have some left. So what I’m going to do is this: I’ll sell the remaining calendars for $8 each. Proceeds will be donated to Thirst Relief International.

The calendar measures 8×10″ and is printed on 100# Watercolor Stock.

I don’t have a shop set up (yet — I’m working on it!) so if you’re interested, just shoot me an email (kelly@kellyashworth.com) and I’ll process your order.

Support a great cause and get a dope calendar to boot!

 

The Best of 2011

I love seeing all of these 2011 Retrospective’s from various people in the creative community. I think Jordan’s were my favorite. It’s always fun to put all of the work you did together in one place  – I did a lot more in 2011 than I realized!

I put together a little slideshow of some of my favorite projects. Take a look! Happy 2012, everyone!
