July 2022
Love me some July!
Ice cold drinks on a hot day, farmer’s markets, fireworks and fun music, picking cherries, sunglasses, sprinklers, bike rides to the river and long late walks with orange-colored skies!

Hue & Me
This month we join the likes of Amazon, Etsy, Fanta and The Netherlands who ALL choose ORANGE. Why? Because 🧡 is JOYful and because for many people and cultures it symbolizes energy, creativity, optimism and success!
Design Inspired
Who LOVES pattern paper?
Then it’s your turn to PLAY this month—using and combining patterns can expand your design capabilities. Multiple patterns used well add rich texture and a depth to visual stories that is totally unique.

AND 🍒 Remember that Live Your Story is a little like picking cherries.. You can’t possibly pick them all and there are plenty to go around. Even the birds get their full. As you pick, you get to decide which are juicy enough to eat right away and which are ripe enough to take home. You also get to leave some for picking another day!
Please don’t try to do it all.
