Retirement Sale... 50% off Everything!

After much thought and consideration, I've decided to step down from designing full-time. It was a difficult decision but with four little girls and a growing photography business, it felt like the right time to throw a retirement sale!

Until next Monday, September 30th, my ENTIRE shop at Pixels & Company will be 50% off! All my products will disappear at the end of the month, so if you've had your eye on something, now is the time to grab it! 

And to make your shopping spree even better, all my goodies at The Lilypad will also be 50% off for the next week as I finish up my September guest spot!

So I guess you'd better get shopping :) Thank you for all your support over the last two years! I've loved designing and perhaps I'll be popping up here and there over the next few months! Thank you to all the ladies on my spectacular Creative Team and a big thank you to all the fabulous ladies at Pixels & Company and The Lilypad! It's been a wonderful ride!

 As many of you may or may not know, in my other life I’m a photographer... I’ve been taking pictures and experimenting with editing in Photoshop for several years now and just last summer, started taking on more and more clients! As a result, I’m constantly on the hunt for Photoshop actions that will speed up my workflow but are also completely customizable and non-destructive! These are a few of the best photoshop actions I’ve found around the web for FREE and they’ve become some of my go-to actions! These are a great place to start if you’re just starting out with actions, if you have Photoshop and if you like a bit of a vintage look to your photos (as I do)! 

 And if you’re here for the Pixels & Company Blog Hop, please scroll down below the FREE actions previews for your download letter!
