My kids and I spent a soggy Saturday afternoon indoors filling the pages of the mom & me, full-color art journal, for moms and kids to color, draw and share together.

artwork from Bethany Robertson paired with creative prompts from licensed art therapist Lacy Mucklow, here's an interesting way to get the conversation started.

angles is a decorative idea to accentuate stationary, invitations, letters, and other paper crafts.

I love hand lettering, and often find myself needing  inspiration for new, creative styles. Hand Lettering A to Z is a hands-on book where artist and calligrapher Abbey Sy demonstrates her creative lettering talents and features guest artists from around the world to contribute hand drawn alphabets of their own techniques. Knowing that hand lettering does not require the disciplined study of calligraphy inspires me and creatives of all ability to refine my own hand-drawn lettering skills.
