{Featured Artist} Lauren McKinsey-A little Whimsical, Sophisticated and Unique!

I found Lauren McKinsey  a couple of weeks ago. Her work is whimsical, sophisticated and unique....a breath of fresh air.  She designs printables for your celebrations plus invitations and more.  Today we want to show you her darling  4th of July designs since it is right around the corner.  But before we do that .....I asked Lauren to tell us a little bit about what made her decide to start this business.

"I remember well the afternoon I was inspired to pursue my passion of graphic design.  Sitting at lunch with a local graphic designer I was intrigued by his story and his passion for design. A self taught design genius focused on the wedding industry and a young man I was meeting for the first time sparked my passion for creativity and gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams.  In August of 2010, I launched Lauren McKinsey designs. Focused on creating designs that were both whimsical and sophisticated I worked to create a look that represented me and my personality. Think cute quickly became my tag line and with a desire to create affordable collections I began my company.  Lauren McKinsey specializes in invitations, party printables and custom designs to make your event, both big and small, simply amazing"

Sounds like someone we'd all love to have for a best friend! I admire her decision to pursue her dream and share her talent with others.  So now let's get to her beautiful designs. I think you're going to love them, I do.  Here is her brand new, just in time for the up-coming holiday...her 4th of July Collection.  As you look through the photos below you will see a few additions to the Lauren Mckinsey line.  She has added ice cream cone wrappers, banners (in FIVE different sizes) and bottle wraps to make your gathering “sparkle” just a bit more!

Browse through her site and check out her Celebrate Spring  and Easter Collections.  Another new item are her Inspirational Notes-So cute.  There's a Teacher Appreciation Collection, a Super Hero Dad Collection (she offered the  Super Hero Dad candybar wrap free for father's day and I hear over 400 people downloaded it, me included)  There's also a Celebrate me Collection and a Graduation collection and I'm sure many more yet to come.

Head on over to her Facebook Page and show her some love (become a fan) and tell her we sent you. Then you just have to see her Blog, that's where she keeps all her darling designs. Purchase her 4th of July printables and make your holiday that much more special! (Her prices are great!) She even has 4 different freebies in her blog she'd love to give you.
