Valentine’s Day Decor!

We had a party on Valentine’s Day for my kids and 30 of their closest friends, who knew we knew so many people! I wanted to make some cute stuff, and decorate in a child friendly kind of way. Of course I turned to Pinterest! The first thing I found was this adorable “kissing booth”. Though, with young kids, I didn’t want to make a kissing booth, so we turned it into a kisses booth, where kids could get Hershey Kisses! You can see my Valentine’s Day pinterest board HERE.

I also whipped up some felt shaped hearts and blogged about it over at Lindy’s Stamp Gang. You can see more about the hearts HERE.

I hope you had a fantastic Valentine’s Day!

Art Impressions: Feathered Fiasco

Hi friends! Hope you’re enjoying your weekend. I’ve been working with the new Zoo Crew images, and had the pleasure of working with Feathered Fiasco!

He’s so cute, I almost fell bad for him when I saw his sad little face! 😦 I know those days, all to well!

I did a quick video while coloring the Flamingo and water. Unfortunately, I’ve been having some computer/camera problems while recording, and it cut out before I could finish. But, you’ll be able to see the colors I used, and the process. Also how simple it is to use FlexMarkers. When you buy the sentiment it does come whole. As in, “bad day in progress… stand clear” as one stamp. However, to get them to stamp around the Flamingo as such, I had to cut them apart. It wasn’t too difficult, but, I do suggest if you are going to cut them apart, make sure you have a good pair of scissors!

Lastly, people ALWAYS ask me what paper I use. I never think to add it into my posts, but I always use the same paper. I buy it at the paper mill! When I lived in Texas I bought from Clampitt Paper. Their prices are great! Anyways, I use Finch Fine Color Copy 80#. I really like their paper, but love that they make paper with our Environment in mind.

Well, that’s all from me today! Happy Saturday friends, have a great weekend!

Next Day Flyers Giveaway!

I’m so excited! As most of you know, I design for Jessica Sprague. She introduced a class a few weeks back called “Digital Art Journaling.” With our recent move, I’ve had to pack away a majority of my supplies, leaving me with the absolute bare minimum. I was reluctant to pack it all up, but, I knew it would allow me to concentrate on the class!

So my friend Leslie over at Next Day Flyers, offered one of my subscribers a set of flyers! Next Day Flyers offers flyer printing, business cards, and all sorts of other cool stuff. My wonderful, 200+ amazing subscribers now have an opportunity to win YOUR very own set of 100 1/4 page flyers! All YOU have to do is leave me a comment (or add your name to the inlinkz) and show me what incredible and amazing kinds of stuff you’d love to have in print! Oh… and “like” or “follow” NDF via Twitter or FaceBook and tell them that I sent you of course!

These are not my work, but I found them on Pinterest and thought you would enjoy them!

These images are available for 8X10 download at eighteen25.

Jessica Sprague teamed up with Nancie Rowe Janitz and vice versa, to put on this bad ass class! I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned. So sad I’ve been digitally designing for so long, and I FINALLY feel like I’ve got the hang of it!

(Nancie has been kind enough to allow me to share these images with you, so you can download them to your computer, and use them. Please give credit where credit is due, I’d love to continue making things that I can share with my followers. Please consider following me on twitter, or sign up for an email subscription so you don’t miss a download or giveaway!)

So here’s what I made!
