I'm still on a poppies painting rampage, and I figured they might make a rather sweet Mother's Day card/tag/whatever...what do you think? It could be a bright little embellishment to your Mother's Day gift or print on some sturdy cardstock and write a message on the back! It's up to you. There are four per page, which is probably more than you need, but it's always nice to have extras, right?

Happy Friday + Randomness
Happy Valentine's Day!! My goodness, with the way I kept going on and on, you'd think it's the only holiday that matters to me. Case in point: I can't seem to stop making bookmarks, though my excuse is that I'm practicing my digital painting.

K said that the animals looked too girly and was ... Read more
Valentine’s Word Search

Valentine’s Bookmarks Download
Still not indestructible in spite of the wonderful soup. However, I'm feeling more human and I've been procrastinating using some paints and doodling with Valentine's Day on my mind. And what do I like to do when I have a bunch of sketches? Make bookmarks, of course. How are these different from the tags I've made before, you may ask? They're not, but I thought they would sound fancier as bookmarks. They're multi-purpose (case in point: K insisted on wearing one as a necklace)! Plus, maybe ... Read more
Secret Valentine Exchange Updates + Valentines Download
Ute and I are thrilled with the response we've gotten from the Secret Valentine Exchange! We have 39 participants (quite the international group, I might add), and the creative energy is palpable! Ute and I told each other that if we got close to 10 people, we'd be totally happy, so the turnout is above and beyond expectations. Huzzah! So, just a few updates and housekeeping info in response to inquiries and things we realized we didn't mention: 1. If you received a partner information ... Read more
