More digi stamp goodness in progress

lost in digiworld...

since my last post, i've become quite obsessed with drawing these darling girls! i've done six of them and i'm working another one today (a pregnant mom that would be perfect for baby shower invites!}. thank y'all SO much for your encouragement in my last post! i WILL be turning these new drawings into digital stamps {digi stamps} that can be used the same way you would use a rubber stamp, except you print it out instead of stamping the image with ink. :D

oh yeah,

and the card i made with the girl from my last post? it was a hit with aiden's teacher! yea! :!

sooooooooooo,

be on the lookout here for news on my new digi shop to be opening soon so you can buy some of these darling girls for yourself and make your own cards {and other such paper crafts}!

in the meantime....

i'll leave y'all with peeks of some of the girls...

some finished,

some still in progress.

Sketches + ideas

my son is home sick from school today, so studio time was a no go. i found myself with alot of pent up creative energy, so I had to find an outlet. that's how these sweet little girls came about. :)

i've been meaning to get back to my digi stamp idea, but too many other things kept coming up. then today i had to find a way to satisfy my creative urge while staying in the same room with the kiddo to make sure he stayed still and resting (something very difficult for him, even when he's sick he won't stay still for long).

after a little facebook drive by on my phone from my spot next to him on the couch, i had my answer. :)

thankfully our scanner and printer are here in the same room, so i was able to scan and print out my drawing. then i grabbed some colored pencils, sat back down on the couch and went to work.

now to cut her out, grab some of my scrapbooking paper stash, and make a card for my son's teacher for teacher appreciation week. :D

i would LOVE to know what y'all think of this drawing! i'm thinking of going more this direction with my digi stamps and i could really use your input!

thanks bunches y'all!!! xoxo

Valentine's day digi stamp freebie download

hey y'all! hope you're having a wonderful wednesday! i spent most of mine with a sweet new artist friend. we lost all track of time and what felt like an hour was, in reality, THREE! lol! can't wait 'til we can get together again....we talked about painting together next time, so i gotta get my act together and get my studio cleaned up 'cause you can barely walk in there.... ...yet again. lol!

yeah, i create chaos when i paint....and it drives my hubby nuts 'cause my studio is the first thing you see when you walk in our front door {it used to be our dining room....now its my painting studio and it doesn't have a door}.

but i digress....

what i really came here to post about was a fun little freebie for y'all. for a few weeks now, i've had in my head that i wanted to create something that was downloadable for people who are paper crafters, card makers, and scrapbookers....in other words, all those super fabulous craft artists out there! :D

so what i've done is created a digi stamp from one of my newest drawings for you to use in your paper crafts. cool right? i thought so too! i'm super excited about the prospect and possibilities of this new venture and want to start offering digi stamps for sale in the very near future, so this is a little preview of what's to come....

is this something y'all would be interested purchasing from me? please chime in and let me know!

the future digi stamps will feature my girls with their whimsical contemporary style and sketchy/hand drawn look.....normally they won't have text like this free digi stamp.

below the preview pic, you will find a link to the full size .PNG file, which is at 300 dpi and is approximately 3"x6" in size. "right click" the link to save the file to your computer. this free digi stamp is designed to be like a ready made valentine's card....just print on cardstock + add color with markers or pencils...and voila! you've got a sweet little card with your own personal touch. you can give it just like that or add it to a handmade card with embellishments. so fun! you can even add it to your valentine scrapbook layouts!

all i ask is that you come back here and post a link in the comments of this post {or  post a pic on my facebook fan page} to what you make with it...even if its just coloring it in....i wanna see! oh and i'm hoping to put together a little design team for this new venture once it gets underway. :D

happy creating! and be sure to share this post with your friends so we can spread the ❤ love ❤! can't wait to see what y'all come up with!!!!

love+hugs!
