TPK's 2019 Holiday Calligraphy Worksheet Set — The 2019 Holiday Calligraphy Worksheet set is now available in the TPK catalog! You can find it by clicking here.

The TPK holiday worksheet printable is a tradition that I started in 2016! Around this time every year, I come up with a few different holiday-themed calligraphy pieces and combine them into a worksheet. That worksheet only is available through December 26th — but! — like the Ghost of Christmas Past, it makes an appearance the next holiday season (and the next, and the next).

Celebrating October with Spooky Calligraphy Drills (+ a Procreate Edition!)

I love making themed calligraphy drills sheets, so I planned and put together some “Spooky Drills” last autumn! The only problem? My memory of making these drills is about as foggy as a dark and stormy night at a haunted mansion. The drills sheet was my creative outlet after becoming a mother in mid-September, and those early new-parent days can be pretty intense!

Last Chance to Learn Photoshop with the Digitizing Artwork + Calligraphy eCourse

Ten years ago, “learn Photoshop” was not an item on my goal list. I was proud of my analog skill set, so why would I have to fuss with digital stuff? The answer came to me — quickly — when I founded TPK. Photoshop proved indispensable in designing invitations for clients, making printables for blog readers, and editing photos! My only criticism of Photoshop? It’s very frustrating to learn. I hardly ever cry … but teaching myself how to use that program provoked tears of frustration! That’s why, years later, I made the Digitizing Artwork and Calligraphy eCourse. It’s been a staple of the TPK catalog for three years, and it will continue to call the catalog home for two more weeks until its retirement!

A French Farewell: Saying Goodbye to the “Springtime in Paris” Illustrations

As I mentioned in Monday’s newsletter, there are some changes afoot at TPK. I’m working hard to curate the TPK catalog before we implement a new website design later this month! Too much of a selection can be overwhelming, so I’m paring down and laser focusing on what TPK makes best: educational tools. You can expect most TPK eBooks, courses, and worksheets to stay! Most illustrations, however, are on their way out, including the “Springtime in Paris” Printable Stationery. I’ll be retiring them from the catalog on Tuesday, July 16th … two days after Bastille Day!
