New kit {My Animal Friends}

In celebration of my shiny, new nephew I decided to make a fun kit filled with super cute animals this week! Can you smell the baby powder oozing out of this kit?!

Truth be told, this was a nice departure for me since I usually base my personal designs around the two, four-legged, furry girls that wander our house. I bet if you asked any psychologist, this is probably a “healthy” step. : )

The inspiration for this design (outside of my new nephew) came from the color combination—I really liked the muted, non-gender tones and “quiet” feel of the combined elements. Of course, my favorite part are all the hand-drawn animals…and library card.

Since it’s pretty rare that I can look at my final design and say, “Yes! That’s exactly how I imagined it in my mind!”, I really appreciate the finished product! 

Plus I’ll be honest, I was sort of surprised how well I seemed to tap right into the “mom mode”—it left me wondering if my design side has been having secret meetings with my biological clock?!

Nah.

I’ve still got some living to do, wine to drink, and rows to hoe before I cross that bridge. : )

Since my 2Peas link isn’t working properly this evening, I decided to include an animated preview of some of the kit elements…Click to view better.  

Thanks for looking! ; )
