I finally finished my latest digital scrapbooking kit.  I call it "Junior High" because that is the time period that those images came from....I had a phone with a cord, I loved unicorns, people made each other mix tapes, you get the idea.  It's available in my Etsy shop.  Here are some images of the kit and finished pages.

I realized that I did not like my last mix tape pattern at all...it was
done too quickly and just didn't look right. So here it is revised, and
I like it much better.

A few months back, one of my freelance pattern designs that I did for
Cinnamon Joe Studios was sold to Paperchase (a store in the UK). 
Today, while checking out Print & Pattern,
I
see a bunch of pictures of my monsters!   How exciting!!!  The
products ended up being pretty cool.  The colors are different, but the
monsters are my little guys!! I can't post a link to the page (it is

I miss the mix tapes.  Although I have to admit receiving a couple as a kid that made me laugh because the song choices just weren't my bag.  But the thought behind the mix tape was what made it so sweet.

Ok, this has been an inexcusable hiatus!!  All I can say is that our family needs more than one computer...I never have the time anymore to update my blog!  My husband has an addiction to World of Warcraft, and my son and I also enjoy playing it, but man it eats up so much computer time. 

So now that I am done giving excuses, here are the two new pieces I did this weekend.  Both are larger than normal, and I think for that reason I will sell them as prints on Etsy instead of selling the originals.  I am ...<< MORE >>

Instead of cleaning house this afternoon (which really needs to be
done), I spent the afternoon in my studio.  I have a bucket load of old
polymer clay that someone had given me.  I really had no idea what to
do with it at first, but I'm such a tightwad that if someone offers me
free stuff I normally take it.  I finally realized today that I could
make some pendants, since everyone seems to be loving those "scrabble
tile" pendants.  So I cut some clay into 1" squares, baked it, and
slapped on some mini printouts of my illustrations.  I really like the
way they turned out, ...<< MORE >>

Tonight I spent some time adding some new items to my Etsy shop,
including new Christmas card designs, and some illustrated stationery. 
So now you have no excuse to not keep in touch over the holidays!!
