a cupcake. Or some excedrine, at least I have that one :) I have this little card to share today that was fun to make. The layers, I decided to put together kinda backwards by cutting out and layering behind the front of the card. Kinda makes you think a little differently about what you're doing. I used Tiny Baker Tia for this simple style card. Tiny Baker Tia is colored with Copics....

I have a new lil piece of art up in my crafty space/studio/office.... thing (how many terms more can I give it???)! One of these things is not like the others ;) The newbie is a canvas print of my art print Purple Tinted. I feel uber fancy :D I got it made thru Easy Canvas Prints and it was super easy! It had a interface to upload and tweak your prints that was so easy for a visual person like...

I'm a little distracted today :) We have a new member of the Odd family here and her name is Selena :) Named after Selena Kyle, the Catwoman lol. We brought her home last night, it was kind of a last minute happening. I had been buggin hubs to get a kitty and we saw her on an ad on Craigslist. Her owners were moving out of state and couldn't keep her where they were moving to. If they didn...

Stamping him with...

Back in the post where I shared my latest embroidery endeavor (just finished up the bird I mentioned too btw) Corinne left a sweet comment pointing out that my etsy shop was empty and I was teasing her :) I really had been wanting to just move my prints (any whatever else I may have to offer) over here as I could control it (by remembering to look at it lol) and just do my own thang. Thang. You...

I thought this would make a fun video! (click to full screen to see it better) I drew for fun this image and wanted to give some reflected light sources a go. This is about 2 hours of coloring condensed into about 15 minutes lol. I don't usually start with the shadows first but with large of an image to color it seems to work best for me.Isn't the lighting so much better than my older?...

How are Moo doing today? I kinda held off doing a post today because I have 2 things to share that are purty fun but both are behind lol. So instead I have a fun card to share! I hope you likey :) I used Mooey and colored him as a ginger. I thought he'd make a cute red-spotted cow. I paired him up with the pattern paper from Studio Calico (how flippin PERFECT eh?) and the edge strip from...

Happy Thursday! 1 day left until the weekend :) Hubs has to work all weekend so its not going to be really any different around here but the idea that its the weekend just makes the day that much sweeter :). Just as a little side note while I'm talking about my hubs, he didn't get the position he applied for :( The choice was taken out of the bosses hands where he applied by a higher up or...
