Hey hey Reader!

Here's a list of all the delightful things happening in my world right now. I want to tell you all about them in case one of them helps you in your product creation journey!

September Creative Brief

The latest Creative Brief dropped today, and I'm excited to share what's packed inside! Each Brief comes loaded with research, keywords, and detailed step-by-step instructions for creating the month's focus product.

You'll also get the matching Mini Art Kit (MAK) with every Brief, plus a $5 code to my digital shop so you can continue building your resource library each month.

But here's the exciting news: I'm adding one more resource to make these Briefs even more valuable. The Challenge Breakdowns were such a massive hit with Creative Lab members that I've decided to include them with every Brief moving forward. Here's a sneak preview:

Because of this exciting new Challenge Breakdown resource (plus all the additional goodies I've been adding over the past few months), Creative Briefs will be increasing from $7/month to $9/month at the end of September.

This is your chance to lock in the original $7/month price forever. Once you join at $7, that's your rate for life—even if I add more value and resources.

If you've been on the fence about joining Creative Briefs, this is your moment. After September 30th, new members will pay $9/month, but you can still secure the founding member rate of just $7/month.

What you're getting for $7/month (soon to be $9 for new members):

• Monthly curated design brief with researched keywords
• Matching Mini Art Kit
• $5 monthly shop credit (that's almost your membership back right there!)
• Detailed step-by-step creation tutorials
• NEW: Challenge Breakdowns
• Forever pricing—your rate never increases

That's easily $50+ worth of research, resources, and time savings delivered to your inbox every single month.

Price increases to $9/month for all new members starting October 1st, 2025.

👉🏼 If you are in the Lab, you get Creative Briefs as part of your subscription so you don't have to join now.

New Collection in the Shop

There's a brand new collection in my shop called Chilly Days ready for you to use for all your Fall and Winter projects AND it's over 25% off until September 7th. I created it to serve that transition between Fall and Winter with warm earth tones and crisp blues so you can design for one or the other or both!

Creative Lab members: This collection is already waiting for you in the Stash—go grab it now!

Creative Briefs subscribers: Use your monthly $5 code on top of the sale price to snag this entire collection for just $14. With 200 files total, that's less than the cost of two pumpkin spice lattes for an entire collection of beautiful illustrations!

What's inside:

• 75 illustration files featuring late-season pumpkins, delicate frost-touched leaves, steaming warm drinks, cozy knits, and other elements that celebrate the shift from autumn to winter
• 10 hand lettered motifs perfect for adding seasonal charm to your transitional designs
• 15 digital papers: 5 designs in 3 color ways in rich, muted tones
• 15 seamless pattern design tiles perfect for creating backgrounds that work from November through February

This collection is designed to work seamlessly from November through February, making it the perfect bridge between your autumn and winter design needs.

Sale ends September 7th!

30-Day Business Plan Summit

My presentation on how to create a Holiday Product Line in 30 days at the 30-Day Business Plan Summit dropped today. I'm actually quite excited about this workshop and you'll be able to watch it for FREE with your ticket. The summit is happening from September 2nd to the 5th and you have all 4 days to watch.

What I'm Working On

We just finished a fun 2 workshop series about Lettering a Phrase in the Creative Lab and I used it to design Fall Prints for my Plum Woods Collection. I have created a set that I'm still working on but I'm excited to make these available for purchase soon. Here's a sneak peek at the prints I have so far and a look at how the collection is shaping up...
​

Alright, those are some of the things happening in my world. I hope you're having a wonderful start to your week and that you're able to find some time to be creative. Hopefully some of these resources will make that process easier and more manageable for you!
