From My Desk – A Little Creative Catch-Up
Hello friends! I thought I’d pop in with a little round-up of what’s been keeping me busy (and very happily messy with paints, pencils, and glue sticks!) over the past week or so. Grab a cup of something delicious, and let’s catch up.
Bright, Bold, and a Dash of Pastel – Alphabet Animals
Lately, I’ve been working on some bright and bold animal illustrations for my alphabet resources. Think vibrant colors, cheeky little faces, and letters that practically dance off the page! You can catch a few sneak peeks over on Instagram this week.
Some are making their way into my updated Big Bold Alphabet Coloring Book already. Your little ones can have a blast coloring or painting them while experimenting with fun color combinations (just like I have been this week!).
New Math Craft – Dog’s Dots
This one makes me smile — Dog’s Dots is my latest math craft, featuring an adorable dalmatian! Students can add a set number of crayon dot scribbles or fingerprint-painted spots, then write the number on the dog’s collar. It’s perfect for number sense practice and fine motor fun.

Dalmatians in the Sketchbook & Creative Play
Speaking of dalmatians… they’ve also made their way into my sketchbook! I’m working through a long (and very fun) list of amazing animals at random, just to keep my creativity buzzing. I’m also taking a little breather from my “doodle month” challenge, but you’ll still find some relaxed creative planner prompts on Instagram through August. We’ll be back to daily doodles in September!A “Glow-Up” for I Like School
Back-to-school season is here, so I’ve given my I Like School Craft Mini Book a fresh design and a new drawing option. It’s a sweet, easy activity for the first week of school.
Cute Classroom Clipart – Set 2
Clipart lovers, Set 2 got some extra love! This time we’ve got a happy little hippo and a watermelon popsicle — perfect for adding some charm to your classroom materials.See them here: Cute Classroom Clipart Set 2
