Get to know Carolyn Clingman of Papergirl Designs!

Papergirl Designs is a new business of fun dog-themed wrapping paper, greeting cards and gift tags that will warm any dog lover’s heart. While toying with the idea of designing a creative and attractive wrapping paper, Carolyn (designer of Papergirl Designs) discovered several creative concepts. Because of her love for dogs and interest in the niche market, she settled on a dog- themed visual. Her designs were so well-received by friends and colleagues that she decided to have them printed; she eventually created coordinating greeting cards and gift tags to offer a complete gifting package. The line is available through papergirldesigns.net, several on-line shops and many stores in the Philadelphia area

Carolyn's experience spans over 25 years in the graphic design field. She has worked in design studios, ad agencies, in-house firms and freelanced. During that time she received numerous awards and developed an extensive design portfolio. In addition, she dabbled in jewelry and mosaic design. When she's not chasing her 7 year old daughter around, watching baseball with her husband or playing fetch with their dog, she can be found in her studio designing more exciting ideas for Papergirl Designs!

Get to know ERIN REA of Modern Pet Portraits

We recently began featuring several new pet businesses on our website, and wanted to share information about each business and the designers behind them. People ask me all the time about pet products we sell or promote, and I thought it was important to tell the stories behind these wonderful businesses and their creations. Who are the designers, what is their inspiration, and why are their designs so incredible?! Well, we are going to tell you.

Get to know ERIN REA of Modern Pet Portraits
Erin is a Los Angeles based Graphic Artist, who has always had a great love for animals. As an owner of 2 cats (Harlow and Bogie, inspired by a couple of her favorite classic hollywood icons, Jean Harlow and Humphrey Bogart), a dog foster, and animal rescue volunteer/advocate, it brings her joy to have the opportunity to combine her passion for animals with her career. She enjoys creating modern, fun portraits that capture the attitude of each pet and make their owners smile for years to come.

She runs an Etsy shop dedicated to creating modern, custom portraits of your lovable pets. Just send in a photo of your pet, choose from a large selection of colors and background prints, and she will design a portrait of your best friend. You can also have the portraits printed on a variety of different gifts, from notebooks to dog bowls to pillows. These make great gifts for animal lovers; and with the holidays approaching, she even offers holiday cards featuring your pet!
www.ModernPetPortraits.etsy.com

Each portrait she creates also helps animals: 10% of all sales will be donated to Much Love (an animal rescue that Erin volunteers for). They're an organization dedicated to rescuing abused, neglected and homeless animals from the streets and shelters of Los Angeles and placing them in loving homes. ALL donations go directly to the animals’ care and help provide food, shelter and medical treatment. (www.muchlove.org)

Her "Custom Pet Portrait Smart Phone Case" has been featured on Dog Milk and showed up on Design*Sponge's 2011 Gift Guide: http://www.designsponge.com/2011/11/2011-gift-guide-pets.html

Blind Dog Helper Jacket



I came across this online and I had to share. What a great idea for our senior pets!

This is a dog jacket is designed with the blind dog in mind. There are adjustable straps across the chest and stomach, a reinforced plastic tube 'halo', and a supported panel across the back for optimal performance. This jacket is not meant for larger dogs and would probably be best for dogs under 40lbs. Each jacket is custom made to fit your dog so the 'halo' will bump into things before your pups head does. After a short time your dog will adjust to the apparatus and move with much more confidence and safety.

Click on the posting title for more information...it's hand crafted and such a great idea.
