NEW! Preppy Pink, Lime Green & Purple Bowling Collection

Happy Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! The last few days went by a little too fast if you ask me, but that's OK...I'm ready to get back into the swing of it! :)

With that in mind, I finished up on my second bowling set, designed specifically for girls in preppy pink, lime green, purple and brown. Like the last set, this collection includes bowling pins, bowling balls and colorful banner flags.

I also have a new collection of purple and white papers, featuring geometric star, quatrefoil, polka dotted, criss cross, chevron, diagonal stripes and gingham patterns which you can view below:

Have a great day, everybody, and thank you for looking!

New Releases :: Bowling Party Fun

I just added a few new goodies to the website and just in time for the long Memorial Day weekend.

First up is a bowling party set, complete with digital papers and clip art. The design is done in a teal blue, red and charcoal grey and features bowling pins, bowling balls, starburst shapes, banner flags (bunting) and of course my favorties...polka dots and diagonal stripes!

A more girlish version of this will be coming soon. :)

Next up are scalloped borders to match the Forest Critters clipart set, saved in red, orange, teal blue, green and brown:

I hope everyone has a fun weekend planned. We'll be back at it with house projects but I am hoping we can sneak a quick BBQ in so it isn't all work and no play.

Have a great one!

New Releases :: Clip Art & Paper Packs

Hi everybody! I hope you all had a great weekend. I was stuck inside working on house projects. After living in my little bungalow for almost nine years, in the very near future we should be just about done with major remodeling. We still will have little things to do (with an almost 90 year old house the "to do" list is neverending!) but I think come July/August (maybe September) we'll finally feel like it is done. Yay!

I did, of course, manage to get new designs on the website on Friday, which you can view below:

These little daisies were inspired by my "The Birds and The Bees" collection from last week:

And after seeing a lack of Father's Day clip art, I thought little ties may be fun for stationery companies (and anyone else, really!) to use in their designs. I have a few more "dad-ish" designs I want to work on, but I don't know if they will be ready for Father's Day this year.

By popular demand, I created a boyish version of my Girly Skulls & Hearts collection:

And drinking strawberry lemonade on my front porch inspired these papers:

And last but not least, I created digital papers & bunting designs to make my Forest Critters clipart set. I anticipate some scalloped borders may be coming out in these colors as well. :)

So what did you guys do this weekend? Anything fun? I'd love to hear!

New Releases :: The Birds & The Bees

I started the illustration on these new little ditties a couple of weeks ago, but didn't finalize them until this weekend. In case you can't tell, I have a thing for birds (as in, a real life thing for birds...I have three of them in my studio with me!) so I'm always inspired to create bird graphics. And then I thought the bees and honeycombs went well with those and thus the ever so original name of "The Birds and The Bees" came about for this collection.

Even though there isn't much of a focus on them, I think I really love those little mod poppies, you know, the ones with faces! I have a feeling they may pop up again and probably in the near future!

Speaking of designs popping up, I have a new version of my solid stitched journal tags available. In brighter colors and with some notebook paper effects. You can view those below.

As always, you can view all of the new designs at this link: Erin Bradley Designs :: All Things New.

I hope everyone is having a happy Monday!

New Chevron Stripe Patterns

One of my newest obsessions revolves around all things chevron. Apparently some of my customers feel the same, because my (original) chevron set tends to be a bestseller each week.

I decided to play around with the colors a little bit and offer a cream version using some of my very favorite bold colors like fuchsia pink, red, navy blue, black, brown, and Kelly green. You can view this new set here: Chevron and Cream Stripes Digital Papers

More new designs are coming soon...I'm putting the finishing touches on a couple of new things and hope to have them out later this week.

Happy Monday!

My new graduation party section is now live on the website. Yay! And to make it even better, all of the templates are on sale for 25% off through next Friday, May 13th.

Here is a peek at the designs...

New Releases :: Clip Art Collections

I have to admit...I wasn't sure if I was going to have any new clip art designs to add to the website this week. Not because I haven't been busy designing, but because I waited until the weekend to actually add the graphics and the weather finally turned nice & I wanted to get outside. Can I just say this has been the longest winter ever in Chicagoland?

But between doing some much needed yard work and spring cleaning, I did manage to get the designs on. Some are different color variations of existing graphics, like the pink forest critters above (and really, who doesn't love preppy owls, caterpillars, birds and butterflies?) and I now have a red and blue version of my To the Moon Collection, complete with an airplane, helicopter and rocket ship:

as I was doing some gardening I was inspired to create these colorful little daisies:

and as you can tell I am already thinking about summer and spending a little time at North Avenue beach (although I am pretty sure I have never seen surfboards or starfish there!):

Rounding up the collection are some birthday party graphics that I was able to list on etsy late last week, complete with a cake, ice cream, candles, birthday bear, present and balloons:

I also have some new photoshop templates I'm working on. If you follow me on Facebook I asked over the weekend if anyone would be interested in non-photo templates for invitations such as showers and things like that. I have some ideas in mind and I think I might as well try them out. So those may be coming soon. :)

Happy Monday!
