The Stamping Sweatshop...

Yay! It's Friday!!!

The stamping sweatshop is in full gear! I'm the only sweatshop employee, and I'm also the sweatshop master, so every time I feel like slowing down, I have to yell at myself. It's very exhausting!!

But I have my two shows this weekend - you can see the details on my facebook page if you'd like to come by.

So I've been working hard trying to get lots of different types of cards ready.

I cranked out some onesie baby cards the other night for both shows and they're sooo cute!!


Each one has a little animal from Niko Art on it that I colored with pencils. These are so simple and cute!! Tonight I need to make some generic cards for any occasion and then I think I'll be ready for a long weekend of shows!!

If you're in Austin, come on by!

Happy Friday!

What Alice Means

As I sit here waiting for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, I think about Alice and what she means.

When I was little, and my dad read me that book dozens of times - the annotated version so we could see the notes and the chess moves - I loved Alice because it was an impossible world. A place where sometimes you were big compared to the world, sometimes you were small. Sometimes a smiling cat puzzled and amused you from somewhere over your shoulder. Sometimes mean queens did bad things to you, and sometimes wise rabbits led you to amazing places where you learned things you didn't think were possible. Now, of course, things are different. I'm all grown up. Now I love Alice because, well - it's so much like real life. :) I fell in love with these little Alice images from Niko Art on Etsy, and thought to have her looking out of a rabbit hole from the inside of the card might be fun. I colored the images with Copics and my white gel pen. The branch is from Branch Out - Stampin' Up!

If you haven't read the book, please do. The best version is here.

Speaking of rabbit holes, there's been a techpocalypse at Casa Blue. My main PC will not stay on, and AT&T has lost two towers, which apparently my air card for my laptop depends on, so I have no internet at my house. :( So if I'm a little sporadic, it's because I didn't have time to go to Starbucks to blog.

Hope your technology is safe and sound and that your are all happy!

Loveyameanitbye.

Ghosts & Hobo Cats Say Happy Halloween!!

My cats are hobo cats!! They used to fly around with a little bandana on a stick with their cans of tuna, walking the tracks, looking for a place to stay.. I had NO IDEA they hung out with GHOSTS!!

Spooky!!!
I love these little images. They are from a wonderful girl on Etsy - Niko Art. They are so whimsical and sweet. I thought maybe this wouldn't scare you too bad tonight.

I just colored them with colored pencils and added some Night & Day paper and ribbon from the dollar bin.

Hope you are having a sweet & spooky night!!

Oh, and in case you weren't here this time last year, here's a little trip down memory lane!!!
