Fabulous photo by Jennifer Wilson!

Always new and exciting products here at Cottage Industry Designs!!! I have just finished this fantastic kid's room sign design with a delicious Design Aglow album page as a template. The images was taken by my new BFF, Jennifer Wilson from Southern California. She's an amazing children's photographer with so much heart and soul, and I love the poppy colors and natural expressions in her work! This is going to be acrylic wall art that attaches to the wall with 4 silver posts... very modern and perfect for a little kids room! Plus, it's secured to the wall, so for those of us in earthquake country, one less thing to worry about... I am working on some new templates for this product that will be available shortly in the Cottage Industry Designs store. They will be original designs that take the silver posts into account so you can just drag and drop your images to really make a WOW presentation that many contemporary boutique studios are offering!

Textures and Textiles

Just a storyboard from my collection that uses Cottage Industry Textures and a couple of other things I picked up along the way supporting my instant download habit...

Album Design using Cottage Industry Textures!

Hi there,

I just finished this album today, and wanted to share a few spreads that feature Cottage Industry Textures and Lightroom Presets. This wedding was in October 2007, and was the first wedding I ever processed completely in Adobe Lightroom. The couple is one of my favorites of all time, and the venues were completely amazing: The Carmel Mission and The Inn at Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach. So, going into it, I knew it would be a great album, but adding the textures to the images processed with the presets just kicked it over the top for me. Here are a couple of my favorite spreads... The whole album is here.

Enjoy!
