2 year olds demand all your time :)

Man... I have some great stuff I want to work on, but my two year old keeps twirling my chair around and grabbing everything on my desk. so....here is the artwork (unfinished and sketched out) that I will be working (hopefully *sigh*) on this weekend. Oh my goodness, I never knew how much a 2 year old could get into. Is there anything they won't throw on the floor....

k, I'm back... he just spit out a mouth full of partially chewed goldfish onto my desk. Wow...its going to be one of those days. Telling you all about it because I know that there are other moms that can relate. Right?

Updates: I am drawing a blank on those air balloons. I was wondering what patterns to do, but just kept thinking that patterned paper would do the same thing, right? Maybe I am thinking about it all wrong. For the ones who wanted balloons, some pictures of the look you wanted would be great.
Umbrellas: Got some great ideas for a lacy parasol umbrella, just need to draw it out.
If I missed some let me know.

Anyway...on to the good stuff....

These ones would be sketches

Can't wait to do these funny ghosts!

The one on the left is going to be like a frame with grunge back ground with a ghost then with a pumpkin. It might need to be a print and cut so I can do a lot of detail on the grunge. The one on the right will be a background pattern.

The girls will be sketches that you can leave as is or color in.

Connected fonts

Hi Everyone! Wow it's been a long time. We have been very busy adjusting to our new neighborhood and remodeling our new home. It's coming along, but there is still a lot more to do.

Pop Up cards Tutorial

I'm sorry everyone, I really thought I did this years ago. Maybe it was accidentally deleted. Well here it is again. Follow these guidelines for all the pop up cards. cut out all your shapes and remove any negative space that will not be part of the finished design, like the inside of letters, between the letters and the cake decorations. fold the backing along the perforated lines glue around the outside of the design and the bottom part. For the other pop up cards (valentine, train, spring, etc) glue the parts that will not be protruding (in between the letters) glue the front to the backing sandwich the paper with the opening away from you = down sandwich with the opening toward you = up fold along the perforated lines. For the birthday card you will be folding, from the bottom of the design, up, down, up, down, etc. Sort of like an accordion. The card will start to form a right angle as you go. When you fold the card closed you will want
