Fieldnotes #01
Welcome to August!

If you don’t want to read the whole thing, feel free to scroll to the section you’re most interested in. I think we both know what it is. 😉 #NoJudgment #GimmeTheFreebies


It has been my absolute pleasure to be able to help so many people who have reached out and asked for help getting started on Zazzle, and I’ve finally decided to put all of those answers together into a quick, scrappy course!

So be on the lookout for Zazzle Unleashed: Start Strong, Sell Smart (okay the tagline is a work in progress) to be released very soon - hopefully this month! Yes, there is a horse, and yes, it will make sense. 😅🏇🏻



It is a BEGINNER course, so if you’re a seasoned Zazzler it’s not really designed for you (although you’re welcome to go through it as a refresher); HOWEVER, if you’re like me you have people in your life who hear about your Zazzle success and want to get into it, so you’ll definitely want to pass the info on to them. And I'll thank you for it! 💛

If you’re a beginner at Zazzle, then this course will definitely be for you. It’s very casual and low-key, I promise, and the price will be beginner-friendly as well (at least at the beginning). We’re talking single-digits here, friends! So keep an eye out for an upcoming email with all the details!


I’m seeing allll the Fall and Halloween stuff now, and I’ve been enjoying doing some “trend-spotting” both online and in local shops. 


  Don't just limit your own trend-spotting to Pinterest and Zazzle. When you're out shopping be sure to take a look at what types of things stores are promoting for the upcoming holidays and events!

  Pink and orange reign supreme for Halloween again this year - more specifically the retro vibe that comes with that color combination. And this year a particular shade of chartreuse green is making a comeback (thanks to the election season, if you can believe it!).

  It’s also time for Fall baby showers, and once again, “Little Pumpkin” baby showers are trending up, up, up both on Zazzle on Google Trends! In fact, Pinterest just told me that pumpkin themed baby showers are up 181% right now! 🤑

  Consider adding some of the following tags to your designs (mix-n-match!): “pumpkin baby shower” “fall baby shower” “little pumpkin” and all those relevant colors: pink, white, and gold, and if you’ve been thinking about jumping into baby showers, why not give it a try with this fun style?

I’ll make it easy for you with your freebie this month!


I’ve created a collection of adorable-yet-elegant pink and white (and gold!) pumpkins, and your FREEBIE for this month is a sample that will get you started on your own “Little Pumpkin” designs. It’s not exclusive to baby showers, of course! It’d be great for bridal showers, princess parties, Quinceañeras, even just fall events in general!

Click here or on the image below to download your free sample.


Remember, if you own The Designers Toolkit, you get the full pack of 20 beautiful, elegant pumpkins for free! 

I’ve put it in the Bonus section of the Toolkit for ya. Click here to be taken straight to it! (You may need to log in first.) I’ve also added some “Autumn Pink Girls” stock photos to the growing stock photo vault - great for babies, princesses, and tween parties! You'll find that link in the Toolkit, as well.


Feeling the FOMO? If you don’t already own The Designers Toolkit, it’s still only $9 and it contains all the FULL freebies from the last 4 months, too! I’m planning a price increase on the Toolkit in the coming months, so click here to get it for $9 while you still can!

That's it for this month's Fieldnotes! Thanks for sticking with me to then end.
