i was so thrilled the other day to see that my mother's day card design, above, was a runner-up in the tigerprint for marks & spencer's competition. its the third time ive been lucky enough to be a runner-up, first in easter 2007 and then xmas 2008 (pics below). so i although i feel im always the bridesmaid and never the bride i also feel inspired to carry on and see if i can do better. i love the way tigerprint give you a really great brief and working to their deadlines provides a fantastic discipline. plus its fun too, waiting to hear the results. 
i thought i'd post up the card ive made for my own mum this year. i took floral elements from some of my other mother's day designs and added my mums favourite motif - shoes. the shoes were drawn in outline only, and then using beads from my jewellery making i glued them onto the shoes using pva glue.
i finally got my hands on one of the placemats i designed for target, and took a few snapshots. the quality of printing and stitching is excellent. one side of the mat has a chalkboard and a little pocket to keep the chalks in. this cute little invention was the idea of sam & bellie, and target took up the idea and commissioned an exclusive range. i designed the owl print with girls in mind, and somewhere there is a boys design which hasnt yet appeared featuring aeroplanes.
