Black and white beauties

I missed the topic of Modify this week. I think it was a good one. But I have been doing my share of modification. On this little baker turtle for instance. She looked like this at first...

But then I modified her a little! Isn't she cute!You can see her and these "Turtle Girls of Summer" made into stamps over at Stamping Bella's next month! Oh, the excitement of it all! I'll let you know when they're in the shop over there. I just couldn't wait to show them because they reflect my mood lately. I feel like cooking up new things and enjoying the summer sunshine! Happy August to you all!

Illustration Friday: Theater

It seems that the innocent, unassuming turtles aren't without their own dramatic flair. For instance, the Turtle Tenors here qualify as reptilian theater. I think the Can Can Turtles are equally as theatrical but I'll save them for another day. Can't you just hear the beautiful melody of the these little guys with their smart red bowties!

In other news, hop on over to Stamping Bella and check out the new turtle stamps just released! I hope everyone has a fabulous time making cards and scrapbooks with them! What fun! If you're a lover of all things stampy, check out the Stamping Bella blog and see all of the other new releases today. They are all so imaginative and adorable! What a great group of artists they have there in BellaLand. Happy Tuesday everyone!

What up, my peeps!

Well, I've disappeared from blogging a little bit in the past few weeks. Had a great Easter Sunday with family and friends....might share some pictures of that soon. I have been working very hard on various things but still don't have much to show for it! Funny how that is. So here's an update on my endeavors.

• The first baby of a good friend means one must make artwork! Since she reads this blog, I'm not going to show you the finished art just yet, but here's a little hint....

• There's going to be a new release of more turtle stamps over at Stamping Bella on the 28th! Hooray! If you check out the blog, some creative ladies are doing some really cool stuff with the stamping challenges.
  
  
• I've started a little store over on Artfire (there's a linky on my sidebar). I'm new to Artfire but it looks fun and we'll see how it goes.




• Sold a couple of Turtle Tots with frames on Etsy to wonderful Alicia. Hooray! I've also added the Celebration Card pack to my Etsy store. I love the colors of those designs, so bright and cheery and fuschia!
  

• Hoping to make something impossible happen for Illustration Friday this week.

• Almost finished with two more jungle babies: Zeke the Zebra and Maya the Monkey, pictures coming soon!

• Trying to eat better as I've sort of been hooked on sugary things for too long now. (thanks to my benevolent co-workers....somebody's always giving me bad-for-you food)

Besides these things I'm looking forward to visiting in-laws in Massachusetts this weekend, starting a Pilates class and the warm weather that I'm sure is just around the corner. Wow, I guess life is always more full than you think!

The Turtle Tots get Stamped!

Guess what! Some of the Turtle Tots have found their way over to Stamping Bella

They've been made into stamps!!! How cool is that....be sure to check out the blog for all the newest things going on there today...

Emily over at Stamping Bella is fun to work with and it's obvious that all of her fans love her and the products. If you're into stamping, scrapbooking and such, you should really hop over there and check it out. I'm finding it hard to resist the stamps myself! Thank you Emily! And if you're visiting from Stamping Bella....Hi girls!!!!
