I still have some I Heart San Diego shirts left after the show, but I only printed a limited amount and I'm not planning to print any more. So get em' while the gettins' good (say with old-time miner voice).
Get it here>>

Oh, and there aren't any smalls right now due to a miss-shipment, but I'll put them up as soon as the rest of the shipment comes in.

Art Show Recap

The Art Show yesterday went great, thanks to all who were there. I'll be putting the remaining shirts up for sale online soon.

Here's a couple photos:

Hidden Treasures

As you probably know the main goal of Cross Your Heart Clothing is to create clothing that has a purpose and a cause. So I've been putting a lot of thought and prayer into who CYH will support first. I want it to be a local organization, it has to be something that CYH can get personally involved in (not just blindly giving money). It has to be something where a little bit of money can go a long way. And finally it needs to be a cause that really effects people directly.

Well that said, I'm excited to announce the first ministry that CYH will be involved with. It's call Hidden Treasures, here's what they're all about:

Mission: Hidden Treasures exists in order to rescue and restore women and children victimized by sex slavery and the human trafficking industry.

Vision: That each person victimized by sex slavery and human trafficking will come to an understanding of who they are to themselves and in Christ...Treasures.
"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Matthew 13:44 (NIV)

Purpose: Hidden Treasures rescues victims and provides an aftercare program of restoration for their lives. The victims receive spiritual, emotional, physical and social healing in a program centered around the saving grace and healing power of a relationship with Jesus Christ.


I'm very excited to see how God will use CYH and Hidden Treasures. I also wanted to thank everyone who has purchased a CYH shirt already. I'll keep everyone updated as we get more involved in this ministry.

Special Edition Shirt Design and Art Show

Recently Cross Your Heart was invited to be a part of the "Visions from a Perfected City" art show put on by Harbor Art. It's an art show featuring 20 different San Diego artists and their interpretations of a "perfected city."

So for the show I designed a limited edition shirt. The concept behind the shirt is that we need to respect and love all the different areas a San Diego. I took pictures of signs from all over San Diego and used them to spell out the classic "I heart city name" motif. Of course in this case, "I Heart San Diego."

And as a CYH shirt, all proceeds will go to charities and missions that help improve San Diego.

So here's the design:

And here are all the photos used to create it (click to view larger).
The big art show opening and reception is this Saturday the 8th. Its free and open to everyone, there will be music, food and art, so please come support CYH and all the local San Diego artists. Bring your friends and family, it will be a great time. Here's your official invitation:
The special edition "I Heart San Diego" shirt will be on sale at the show. There's going to be a limited amount of only 10 shirts per size (Small - X-Large) so come to the opening to make sure to get yours. But if you can't make it, I will post any shirts not sold at the show on the CYH online store.

Hope to see you there.
